Claim Your Private Island: Why January is the Best Time to Gear Up with Canadian Board Co. Inflatables
While the wind is howling and the Canadian lakes are firmly locked in ice, the team at Dockside Essentials is already dreaming of glassy water and sun-soaked afternoons.
If you’ve ever felt like the shore was too crowded or your fixed dock just didn't offer enough "chill space," we have the ultimate solution. We’ve officially partnered with Canadian Board Co. to bring you the gold standard in inflatable water luxury.
From their famous Pop-Up Docks to the incredibly comfortable Inflatable Chairs, these aren't just "floats"—they are high-performance extensions of your summer lifestyle. Here is why you need to lock yours in this January.

Your Own Private Space on the Water
The magic of a Canadian Board Co. inflatable dock is the freedom it provides. Think of it as a portable, private island.
-
Escape the Crowds: Anchor your dock 50 feet off the shore to escape the weeds and the noise.
-
The Ultimate Lounge: Pair the dock with the Inflatable Pop-Up Chairs. These chairs are built with the same rugged drop-stitch technology as premium paddleboards, meaning they are stable, firm, and won't sag when you’re mid-sip of your favorite beverage.
-
Personal Oasis: Whether you’re reading a book or working on your tan, it’s your own dedicated square footage where nobody can reach you without a swim.

Not Just for the Cottage: A Game-Changer for Resorts
If you manage a Canadian resort or rental property, you know that guests are looking for "Instagrammable" experiences and extra value.
-
Instant Amenity Upgrade: Don’t spend $20,000 on a new permanent wooden dock. An inflatable AQUA Dock or YachtDock provides a premium swim platform for a fraction of the cost.
-
Private Guest Zones: Give your guests their own "VIP lounge" on the water. It’s a great way to spread people out and give families a safe, stable "basecamp" for swimming and sunbathing.
-
Zero Maintenance: Unlike wooden docks that rot or metal docks that rust, these inflatables are military-grade PVC. At the end of the season, you simply deflate, roll them up, and store them in a closet. No heavy lifting required!
Why Buy in January?
It might feel early, but January is actually the "Pro Rider" window for three reasons:
-
Guarantee Your Summer: Every year, the most popular Canadian Board Co. bundles (like the Dock + 2 Chair Combo) sell out by May. Buying now ensures you aren't stuck on the shore while everyone else is out floating.
-
Plan Your Setup: Buying early gives you time to measure your space and ensure you have all the Dockside Essentials—like anchors, pumps, and of course, your RecProtect insurance—sorted before the first long weekend.
-
Shipping is a Breeze: Beat the spring shipping logjams. Get your gear delivered to your door now so it’s ready to go the moment the ice thaws.
🌊 The "Private Island" Summer Setup Checklist
Ready to turn your shoreline into a sanctuary? Here is how to build the perfect setup from the Dockside Essentialscollection:
-
The Foundation: The 8' x 7' Pop-Up Dock. It holds up to 1,500 lbs—that’s a whole lot of friends and coolers!
-
The Comfort: A set of Inflatable Pop-Up Chairs. They’re portable, stylish, and way more comfortable than a plastic deck chair.
-
The Bar: Add the Avalon Floating Bar so you never have to swim back to shore for a refill.
-
The Protection: Make sure your new "floating real estate" and your PWC are covered with a quick quote from RecProtect.
Stop Dreaming, Start Planning.
Summer 2026 will be here before you know it. Don’t let another season go by wishing you had more space on the water. Whether you’re a cottage owner looking for peace or a resort owner looking to wow your clients, Canadian Board Co. and Dockside Essentials have you covered.
