New Shipment of various sizes and styles of tubes!

It's that time of the year to go tubing on the river. Bring the family, have fun and cool down! Pilar Yacht Club has a variety of tubes in stock this year! The River run tube is our deluxe model with cup holders, tow rope, net bottom, and back rest. Next is the Fiji float with more of a seat-like design, netted bottom and backrest. The Rolling River is a large comfy tube with handles. The River Rat is a very fat tube but with no features.  Prices range from $22 for the simplest design to $85 for the DOUBLE SEATER River Run. Remember that if you only want to use them for a day, we will buy them back for 50% of the retail price.
