The 7 x 7 BOTE Dock is an amazing, floating inflatable dock and swim platform. It’s very stable, and durable, making it the most versatile products made by Bote. It works great at your lake house, or as a platform on the lake, on the beach, can be used for yoga and you can connect several together to have more room. It includes a hand pump and a sling slipcover for easy portability and can be upgraded with recommended accessories like a cooler, electric pump, or inflatable chairs. See the diagram further down the page to see the dimensions and everything that can fit on or beside this incredible dock.
A FLOATING DOCK JUST MAKES MORE SENSE!
With 49 sq. ft. of deck space, there’s plenty of room for a party. A depth of 8 inches keeps you and your belongings afloat. Bote tested the dock to try to include everything you need to tie down, sit down and dive off.
CARE & STORAGE
It is ridiculously easy to inflate the dock to get on the water, as well as deflate to tote away and store. Once the deflated, folded dock is removed from the burrito wrap, unfurl it, attach the pump hose to the inflation valve and pump it up.
For the best balance and stability, inflate the dock to no more than 10 PSI. Once inflated, it is time to launch!
When you are ready to pack up, release the air via the valve, fold it up and pack it into the slipcover It is important to not store your Dock in direct sunlight.
WARNING: Misprint on Dock valves. Do not inflate above 10 PSI.
The Bote dock works great near or on a sandbar or on the lake or ponds to have a remote location on the water. It’s sturdy enough to hold a small grill, chairs for relaxing, laying on the deck for sunning, for the kids to jump on and off, and teen or adult parties (with a tethered cooler easily accessible) – the opportunities are endless. It’s high and dry enough to read a book and not be afraid of a wave. When ready to wrap it up, the dock folds up small enough to fit in the the car for easy portability. So, easy to inflate/deflate and store.

Final Recommendation
This is clearly our second favorite out of all the floating party docks we’ve reviewed. A little less pricey than the 10 x 10, the 7 x 7 still offers all the same quality features. It is portable, storable, easy to set up and take down. Not only that it is steady on the water and you can add the inflatable chairs and a cooler that matches the best on the market. Your electronic devices can stay dry, yet you can jump off and climb back on without everything sliding off.
