What Is a Two Person Towable?

A two person towable is an inflatable tube designed to carry two riders, towed behind a boat or jet ski. They strike a nice balance, offering shared fun and a bit of friendly competition while staying manageable to tow and store. Two person tubes are among the most popular towables because they suit couples, friends and a parent riding with a child.

Deck or Cockpit Style?

Towables come in two broad styles, and the choice changes the ride.

• Deck style: riders lie or kneel on top, which sits them higher for a faster, more exciting ride that is easier to be thrown from
• Cockpit or sit in style: riders sit down inside with their legs in, which feels more secure and suits younger or more cautious riders

Choose a deck style for thrills and a cockpit style for a more reassuring ride, especially with children aboard.

Matching the Tube to Your Boat

A two person tube needs a boat or jet ski with enough power to tow two riders comfortably, though two person tubes are far less demanding than big multi rider designs. Check the tube's rider capacity and make sure your craft can tow it safely at a sensible speed. If you tow with a smaller engine, a two person tube is usually a sensible maximum.

Choosing the Right Tube Rope

Always use a tow rope rated for at least the number of riders on the tube. A two person tube needs a rope rated for two riders or more, never a ski or wakeboard rope, which is not built for towing inflatables. Using the correct rider rated rope is a crucial safety point, so pair your tube with a suitable rope from the start.

What Features Should I Look For?

• Comfortable, well placed handles: with knuckle guards for a secure grip
• A padded surface: for comfort during longer rides
• A heavy duty tow point: that takes the strain safely
• Durable material and secure valves: that hold air and last
• A quick connect tow system: for easy hook up

How to Choose Your Two Person Towable

Start with who will ride and how much excitement you want. For thrills, choose a deck style tube, and for a more secure ride with children, a cockpit style. Check your boat has enough power, and always buy a correctly rated tube rope and a pump to inflate it. A firm, well inflated tube rides best, so a good pump is worth having.

Towing Safely

Towing carries real responsibility.

• Use a rope rated for at least the number of riders
• Keep a spotter watching the tube at all times
• Set a sensible speed for the riders and conditions
• Make sure everyone wears a suitable buoyancy aid
• Keep clear of other water users and the shore

How Do I Care for My Towable?

• Rinse with fresh water after use, especially after the sea
• Dry fully before storing to prevent mould
• Deflate partially for storage and keep out of direct sun
• Check seams, handles and the tow point for wear before each outing

How Much Do Two Person Towables Cost?

Price depends on size, build quality and features. Simpler tubes are the most affordable, mid range designs add comfort, better handles and tougher materials, and premium tubes offer the best durability and ride. A higher price usually buys a longer lasting tube that holds air and takes hard use. Remember to budget for a rated rope and a pump too.
