Get ready for your summertime party game to blow up ... at some very un-inflated prices. (Amazon)

A time-honored pleasure of the summer months is being in the water without necessarily, you know, being in the water. You know, just kicking back, swaying atop the littlest lulling waves, preferably with a cold bev in your hand — even more preferably with a bunch of friends. But who has an inflatable float that big? Amazon, that's who! ’ A bunch of 'em, in fact. Whether you're looking to rock the pool or bring the party to the lake, giant floats are an absolute blast. We've gathered some of Amazon's top sellers, from floating islands to a kitschy cart to a gigantic inflatable flamingo.
