Whether you’re chasing wakes or coasting along, you’ll find the right boating tubes to keep the good times rolling.
How to Choose the Right Towable Tubes for Your Needs
Finding the right towable boat tube starts with knowing how you want to ride. Whether you're looking for laid-back lounging or high-speed thrills, there's a tube style for your kind of fun. Here are a few things to consider when narrowing down your options:
- Rider capacity: Solo tubes are ideal for high-speed thrills, while 2-person and 3-person multi-rider boat tubes offer shared laughs and a more stable ride. Look for options that fit your usual crew size.
- Tube style: Deck-style tubes lie flat and fast, great for sharp turns and wave-hopping. Cockpit tubes offer back support and a lower center of gravity—perfect for younger or more cautious riders. Ride-on tubes like chariots or rocker tubes let you kneel or sit upright for a unique twist.
- Boat compatibility: Make sure your boat has a proper tow point and enough power to pull your chosen water tubes, especially larger multi-rider models.
- Material and construction: Durable nylon covers, reinforced tow points, and heavy-duty PVC bladders are all signs of a quality towable that can handle repeated use.
- Extra features: Look for safety valves, quick-connect tow points, padded handles, and EVA foam seats for added comfort and performance.
At Wholesale Marine, we make it easy to find the best boating tubes for your crew, with expert support and trusted brands that keep safety and fun at the forefront.
Tips for Maintaining and Caring for Your Towable Tubes
Towable tubes are made for fun—but they’ll last a lot longer with a little care between rides. Proper maintenance not only extends the life of your boating tubes but also keeps every outing safer and more enjoyable.
- Rinse after every use. Saltwater, lake debris, and even pool chemicals can wear down materials. A quick rinse with fresh water helps preserve the fabric and seams.
- Let it dry completely. Storing a damp tube can lead to mold, mildew, and unwanted odors. Always air dry your towable tubes before packing them away.
- Avoid over-inflation. It’s tempting to pump them rock-solid, but too much pressure, especially in hot sun, can stress the seams and valves.
- Store in a cool, shaded area. UV rays and high heat can break down the materials over time. Keep your deflated tubes in a gear bag or dry storage space when not in use.
- Inspect regularly. Before each use, give your boat tubes a once-over for leaks, damaged handles, or loose stitching. Catching problems early keeps everyone safe.
With just a few simple steps, you’ll keep your towable boat tubes ready to ride all season long—and when it’s time for an upgrade, we’ll have the next one waiting.

Frequently Asked Questions: Water Tubes
Got questions about towable water tubes? We’ve rounded up some helpful answers to make sure you’re fully prepped for a safe and unforgettable ride.
Can I tow a tube with a pontoon boat or jet ski?
Yes, many pontoon boats and jet skis are equipped to tow tubes, but it’s important to check the manufacturer’s horsepower guidelines and tow rating. A quality tow harness can also help center the pull behind wider boats like pontoons.
What PSI should towable tubes be inflated to?
Most towable boat tubes don’t specify a PSI—instead, they should feel firm with minimal give but not rock-hard. The key is to avoid wrinkles in the fabric without overstressing the seams or valves.
Are all towable tubes compatible with standard tow ropes?
While many tubes work with standard tow ropes, multi-rider tubes require ropes rated for higher tensile strength. Always match the rope’s capacity to the number of riders and check the specs before hitting the water.
