New Hangout Side Piece Expands BOTE’s Floating Hangout Suite - Compact, Floating Table Features Dual MAGNEPOD™ magnetic mounts for Securing Drinks, Speakers, and Essentials

MIRAMAR BEACH, Fla. (February 24, 2026) /OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ – BOTE (https://www.boteboard.com), the leader in innovative water lifestyle gear, today introduces the Hangout Side Piece, the latest addition to BOTE’s popular Hangout Collection of floats designed to create the ultimate on-water chill pad. This compact floating table is designed to enhance any Hangout Suite setup, providing a smarter, more organized way to enjoy drinks, snacks, and small essentials on the water.

The Hangout Side Piece is lightweight and packable, and easily clips onto BOTE Hangout Suite floats, including popular styles like the Hangout Chair and Hangout Sling Chair. Unlike chairs or main floats, the Side Piece is a lean-on, link-up, and level-up accessory that keeps floating setups organized.

Crafted with BOTE’s AeroULTRA drop-stitch construction and an EVA deck pad, the Hangout Side Piece features dual MAGNEPOD™ mounts and four reinforced D-ring attachment points, allowing users to securely store drinkware, gadgets, or other small items. Soft grab handles make transport effortless, and the compact, 2.6 lb design ensures it can be taken anywhere.

“The Hangout Suite has really taken on a life of its own,” said Zack Eckert, General Manager of BOTE. “We’ve seen people build out their own floating setups and spend entire days on the water together, and that’s what it’s all about. The Hangout Side Piece is a natural extension; something we’ve wanted in our own setups, and it opens the door for even more ways to expand and customize the experience.”

The Hangout Side Piece is available now at boteboard.com and select retailers for $129, and is also offered in bundle options with the Sling Chair and Hangout Chair.

• Dimensions: 33′′ L × 13.75′′ W × 4′′ H
• Weight: 2.6 lbs
• Optimal Inflation: 6-8 PSI
