O'Brien Boxxer 2

4.6

Best stable towable for families seeking comfort and easy boarding.

This deck-style tube prioritizes stability and comfort, making it the perfect choice for group outings where you want to stay on the water rather than constantly adjusting gear. While it lacks the aggressive, whip-around agility of smaller towables, the trade-off is a predictable, high-speed ride that keeps everyone smiling.

Who it's for

  • Families seeking a secure ride for younger or nervous tubers
  • Riders with sensitive skin who want to avoid tube rash
  • Boaters wanting to maximize time on the water

Who should skip it

  • Large groups looking for high-occupancy multi-person towables
  • Owners of compact boats with very limited storage space
  • Thrill-seekers wanting the most extreme and erratic towing experience
