778 Avalon Dock
The Avalon Dock inflates to a spacious 7' x 7' swim platform with an 8-inch thickness, offering 49 square feet of stable, buoyant surface on any body of water. Built to support over 1,500 lbs, it’s ideal for lounging, sunbathing, fishing, or extending your boat’s deck to accommodate extra guests. Constructed with dual sidewall layers and reinforced seams, it’s engineered to be the most durable inflatable dock on the market. Four integrated accessory mounts allow for customization with cup holders, Bluetooth speakers, or a backrest. Whether you're at the sandbar, lake, river, or marina, the Avalon Dock is your floating island for making memories.
Standard shipping is included on all orders.
Our inflatable dock platform adds 49 sq. ft of lounge area to any boat to accommodate additional guests, sun bathe, or serve as a bumper between vessels.
Unmatched Features. Unrivaled Luxury. The Swim Platform Reinvented
Crafted to elevate your time on the water with features that outshine ordinary platforms. Its 8-inch thickness ensures exceptional stability, while the plush EVA traction pad adds comfort and grip while keeping the surface cool. With rugged reinforced construction, accessory mounts, and an optional backrest, it delivers durability, versatility, and a more comfortable way to relax, lounge, or tie up on the water.
Top Corner Connections
Four stainless steel D-rings on all top corners of the dock rather than the sidewall allow for more flush connections to a boat, dock, shoreline or other paddleboards, kayaks & vessels.
Specialized Mounts
Four accessory mounts placed on the center edges of the dock are compatible with various fishing rod mounts and cup holders.
8 Inches Thick
While most inflatable docks are only 4 or 6 inches thick, the Avalon Dock boasts an 8 inch thick construction, providing siginificantly more stability and weight capacity.
Pair with Backrest for Extra Comfort
Our inflatable Backrest is one of the many features that set the Avalon Dock apart. It adds comfort for lounging while doubling as a bumper between boats, showcasing the dock’s thoughtful balance of relaxation and functionality.
Thoughtful Features
The Avalon Dock incorporates a range of thoughtful design features intended to enhance the experience well beyond the initial purchase and into everyday use. Details such as top-corner D-ring placement help protect boat fiberglass from scuffing, integrated ladder attachment points simplify entry and exit, and built-in folding guides make deflation and packing intuitive at the end of the day.
Enhanced Durability
Small perforations in the decking allow air to escape during application and move freely between surfaces during prolonged sun exposure, ensuring a consistent bond between the traction pad and the drop-stitch floor. This ensures a proper long lasting bond unlike competitors that typically experience bubbling and delamination.
Folding Guideline
The gap between the traction pads serves as a clear visual guide, allowing the dock to be folded and rolled without stressing or damaging the traction surface. The result is an effortless and consistent packing process every time.
Cleat Connect™
Four stainless steel D-rings are thoughtfully placed on the top corners rather than the sidewalls, allowing for flush connections with other platforms. Each is reinforced with protective rubber to help prevent wear or damage to the dock’s hull.

Transport Weight
Lightweight and compact, the dock is easy to take anywhere thanks to its over-the-shoulder carrying strap — even checking it onto a plane is no problem.

Tired of summer toys ending up in a landfill? We design our products with the ruggedness you'd typically only find in a river raft.
Plush EVA Decking
Our Avalon Dock swim platform features Kraken Traction, a plush EVA deck that creates a soft, cushioned seating area. It stays cool to the touch in the sun, adds reliable traction, and prevents pinching for a more enjoyable experience on the water. Many competing floating docks offer no additional padding, which leaves the surface hot, slippery, and uncomfortable. Kraken Traction elevates comfort and usability by giving you a stable, cool, and relaxing place to sit or stretch out.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the dock kit?
All Further swim platforms include a dual-action & reversible hand pump, repair kit and carrying shoulder strap for convenient storage & transportation.
What the warranty for the Avalon Dock?
We offer a 2-year limited warranty that covers material defects, manufacturing faults, and seam failures under normal recreational use.
This warranty is valid for the original retail purchaser and begins on the original date of purchase. Products must be purchased directly from Further Customs or an authorized dealer to be eligible for warranty coverage.
Exclusions: Damage from misuse, overinflation, prolonged sun exposure, commercial use, or improper storage is not covered. Tearing or damage to D-rings, accessory mounts, or tie-down attachments caused by excessive force, or improper towing.
Is it stable enough to stand, walk, or place chairs on?
Yes, our Avalon docks are extremely rigid and stable when inflated to 4–7 PSI. They're built to support coolers, chairs, and multiple adults while maintaining a stable and rigid feel without flex. Many customers even use them for boat maintenance and cleaning—a true testament to their stability and durability.
How long does it take to inflate and deflate?
Inflation typically takes 5–10 minutes using our included dual-action, reversible hand pump, which pushes air on both the up and down stroke—cutting pump time in half compared to single-action pumps. Deflation takes about the same time, and using the pump’s deflate mode will remove every last bit of air, making the dock as flat as it was the day you unboxed it.
Can inflatable docks be left water overnight or for multiple days?
Yes, the Avalon Dock is built to be UV- and saltwater-resistant. Its sidewalls feature a second reinforcing layer and a third layer along the seams to maintain integrity in harsh conditions. However, extended exposure to the elements may reduce its lifespan. For best results, rinse and dry after use and store in a cool, shaded area when not in use.
How durable are inflatable docks?
Our dock is built with military-grade PVC and drop-stitch construction, offering exceptional resistance to punctures, abrasions, and UV damage. The material is similar in strength and durability to that of a commercial-grade river raft. While not completely impervious to sharp objects, it’s far more rugged than standard pool toys or floaties. Inflate it on a smooth, flat surface, and you can expect it to hold up for many seasons of use.
Can dogs go on it? Will their claws puncture it?
Yes, our Avalon Dock can handle dog nails without risk of puncture. While claws may leave scratches or surface marks on the decking, these are purely cosmetic and won’t affect the dock’s air retention or structural integrity. For added protection—and to keep it looking its best—we recommend laying down a towel or mat where your dog tends to sit or move around.
What’s the best way to store inflatable docks when not in use?
Rinse the dock with fresh water, allow it to fully dry, then roll and store it in a cool, dry place. You can remove all air by folding and compressing it manually or by using the included hand pump in deflate mode to vacuum out the air. It’s also perfectly fine to leave the dock partially inflated or fully deflated for storage—there’s no harm in doing so. Just avoid storing the dock fully inflated in direct sun or extreme heat, as internal pressure can rise above the recommended 7 PSI.
Does it come with a repair kit?
Yes, the dock includes a valve wrench so you can tighten the valve if it ever becomes loose or needs replacement. It also comes with a PVC patch in case a repair is needed. While punctures are extremely rare, they’re usually quick and easy to fix—similar to patching a bicycle tire.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we specialize in shipping internationally and can handle all customs duties & fees. We insure and manage the delivery of your order from our doors to yours.
How long will it take to get my orders?
It depends on where you would like your order delivered. Orders processed within the USA & Canada will take 5-7 business days to arrive. Overseas deliveries can take anywhere from 7-16 days. Delivery details will be provided in your confirmation email. Custom orders will ship in 60-90 days.
