We use our Cabana in the lake cove by our dock. It will hold 6 people, but you are up-close and cozy....holds 4 very comfortably. The floating thing that you are meant to use to climb up on it from the water is not the most ergonomic thing in the world, but it's useabe (you will NOT look graceful climbing up). The floating cooler is great! We keep ours blown up and store it in the garage, we take it to the water on a trailer and anchor it in the cove for the day. If you don't use an anchor, you will be blown around like a run-away sailboat. Overall, we love it for when we have company at the lake, but it's too much trouble for just the two of us. Would purchase it again.
