About AquaBanas!
How They Work
AquaBanas have a modular design that allow them to operate as a single unit or to be seamlessly connected together to form larger Bana Systems. There are 3 Foundation Banas that are instrumental in creating an AquaBanas system:
Standard Features:
- Inflated Back Rests
- Gator Mouth Flaps
- Anchor Rings For Tent
- Non-Slip Top Surface
- Quick-Step Access
- Stable Ballast Bags
- Dual Inflation Valves
- Netted Footwells
- Rock Solid Table
- Cooler Cut-Out
1. Party Bana
The Party Bana features a 48” round table that is incredibly stable and comfortably seats 8 adults. This serves as a foundational Bana due to the seating area and shade of the BT120 Bana Tent. All other AquaBanas are designed to easily connect to each other to build the perfect system for your needs.
Add a PWC Bana on one side and a King Lounger on the other to create a great combo system off the back of your yacht or in a remote location!
2. Picnic Bana
The Picnic Bana is the largest AquaBanas featuring an 86” table and holds up to 14 people. The non-slip deck has an extended area to relax.
The size makes it perfect to connect additional units such as the PWC Extreme and Mega Lounger, as shown.
This unit is great for yachts, resorts, and other waterfront venues making it easy to monetize for a great ROI.
3. POP3 Pool System & Deck
Our POP3 Pool (Pop Out Pool – 3 Parts) system allows almost any waterfront to become usable, regardless of the shoreline. The design allows yachts to easily handle large sea pools on board by making them in 3 easy-to-manage pieces that can be stored in smaller area of the yacht.
The AquaBanas POP 3 system is also great for resorts and water parks as it creates a framework that allows Party Banas, Picnic Banas, Loungers and other components to connect to. We suggest removing the netting.
How Do They Connect?
All AquaBanas decks and components use a standardized connection system that has (2) D-Rings located 80” apart. Each set of these D-Rings features a 120” wide Gator Mouth flap that firmly holds a non-slip Gap Cap material that prevents anyone from stepping through the butted seam. The decks are held together primarily with (2) chains of #316 Stainless Steel Quick Link connectors connected to the rings. The chains are then covered with a wrap.
Welded Construction
All AquaBanas products are built to the highest commercial inflatable standards including full welding all drop stitch products. Welded seams eliminate any possibility of seam failure that many drop stitch products are prone to.
Also, an additional layer of vinyl material is added to every seam, along with our trim strip material for added strength.
