A woman and a man floating on pool rings either side of a FloatMate umbrella, cold drinks standing in its table, under a clear blue sky

Pre-order · First South African batch

Shade that getsin the poolwith you.

A full-size UPF 50+ umbrella and a four-drink table, floating in the middle of your pool.

Under the surface

It floats. It doesn't tip.

A weighted column hangs from the float into the water below it, like the keel on a boat. That's the whole trick — the table rides level on the surface, the umbrella stays upright over your head, and nobody has to hold on to anything.

  • Stone Harbor
  • Summer Linen
Half above and half below the waterline: a FloatMate with a taupe canopy floating with drinks on its table, its white weighted column hanging in open water well clear of the pool floor

UPF 50+ over the water

Blocks the sun where you actually are at midday — in the pool, not next to it.

Double-layer canopy

Two layers of premium fabric between you and the sun.

Tilts to 45°

Follow the sun as it moves across the afternoon, instead of moving the umbrella.

Four drinks, none of them swimming

Moulded recesses hold cans, bottles and glasses at arm's reach.

Floats level, stays upright

The weighted column underneath keeps the table flat and the canopy over your head.

Packs into two bags

The umbrella and the base each have their own carry bag, so it goes on holiday with you.

From eleven to sundown

The pool stops emptying at midday.

Most pools go quiet exactly when it's hottest, because there's nowhere to be but in the sun. FloatMate gives everyone a reason to stay in — kids in the water, drinks on the table, an adult in the shade who can still see them.

Easy setup

From box to float in six steps.

Everything arrives in two boxes and goes back into two bags.

  1. Two sealed FloatMate boxes, one long and slim and one wide and flat, on the paving beside a pool

    Two boxes arrive

    One long, one flat.

    Umbrella 130 × 11 × 11 cmBase 63 × 51 × 16 cm

  2. A man by the pool holding the long black FloatMate umbrella bag, the square base bag at his feet

    Take out the carry bags

    The umbrella has a long bag, the base a square one.

  3. Hands sliding the silver umbrella pole into the centre of the white floating base on the pool paving

    Connect the umbrella to the base

    Put the base together, then slot the umbrella pole into it.

  4. A man crouched at the pool edge lowering the assembled FloatMate into the water

    Lower it into the water

    Carry it to the edge and set it down gently, column first.

  5. Half above and half below the waterline: the FloatMate floating with drinks on top, its white column hanging in open water well above the pool floor

    It floats upright

    The weighted column hangs below the float and keeps it standing.

  6. A woman in a straw hat resting on the FloatMate table in the pool, its canopy tilted toward the late sun

    Tilt it and pour a drink

    Angle the canopy up to 45° to keep the sun off.

What arrives

Two boxes, two carry bags, one FloatMate.

  • Umbrella with a double-layer UPF 50+ canopy that tilts to 45°, in its own carry bag
  • Floating table with moulded drink recesses, in its own carry bag
  • Weighted column that hangs below the float and keeps it upright

What happens when I pre-order?
You reserve a unit from the first batch in the colour you choose. We confirm your order by email or WhatsApp and arrange payment with you directly — nothing is charged on this page.
When does the first batch arrive?
We confirm the shipping date with you when we accept your pre-order, before any payment changes hands.
How does it stay upright?
The table floats on the surface and a weighted column hangs underneath it, like the keel on a boat. That weight down low keeps the table level and the umbrella standing straight.
Which colours does it come in?
Two canopies: Stone Harbor, a warm taupe, and Summer Linen, a soft cream. You choose when you pre-order.
Will it work in my pool?
It's built for a standard home pool, and floats just as well in a lake or a dam. Send us your pool depth on WhatsApp and we'll confirm it works before you commit.
