The sea retains its summer warmth, but the bays grow quiet as the shoulder season settles over the Mediterranean. The light softens earlier in the day, and the focus on board shifts from energetic water sports to relaxed, quiet evenings. It is an ideal time to extend your deck space down to the water level. A proper floating lounge setup gives you a peaceful place right beside the yacht to enjoy an evening drink, surrounded by calm waters and fading light. ## Planning your floating lounge setup Building a comfortable space on the water requires only a few carefully chosen pieces of inflatable seating, arranged and secured properly to your stern. The process is simple when you follow a clear sequence. 1. Start with a stable foundation, such as the [Premium Teak Platform 4.10 m](https://dockee.it/product/premium-teak-platform-410). Measuring 410 x 205 cm, it offers plenty of space for a small group. It features a non-slip, [teak-look surface](https://dockee.it/glossary#teak-look-surface), which provides the warm appearance of a traditional deck but is not real wood and requires no sanding or oiling. 2. Unfold the platform on a clean area of the deck, free from any sharp objects. Ensure the valve is closed for inflation, then use a 1200 W air pump connected to your 230 V power supply. Inflate the platform to the pressure stated in the product instructions. The [drop-stitch](https://dockee.it/glossary#drop-stitch) fabric and 0.9 mm PVC construction will ensure it feels firm and rigid underfoot. 3. Moor the platform carefully to strong fixing points on the yacht. Use floating products only in calm, sheltered water. Keep all tie lines clear of the propellers, and always make sure engines and thrusters are switched off while anyone is in the water near the stern. 4. Attach the [AquaStair ladder set](https://dockee.it/product/aquastair-ladder-set) to the edge of the platform. With four steps reaching 95 cm below the waterline, it allows you to take a quick dip in the warm evening sea and return to your lounge with ease. Always supervise swimmers, especially children. 5. Position the [Relax Corner](https://dockee.it/product/relax-corner) at one edge of your platform. Measuring 160 x 65 cm, this curved seating module creates a comfortable boundary for your floating area and anchors the arrangement. 6. Place a [Single Luxe Daybed](https://dockee.it/product/single-luxe-daybed) opposite or adjacent to the corner. At 160 x 80 cm, it offers ample personal space to recline with a drink while leaving enough room on the platform for guests to move around comfortably. 7. Finish the arrangement with an [Air Cushion](https://dockee.it/product/air-cushion). Measuring 50 x 20 cm, this small inflatable buffer sits between modules or beneath specific sections of the platform, adding stability and soft impact absorption for a more comfortable evening on the water. ## Creating a yacht sunset terrace The beauty of this modular arrangement is its flexibility. You can face the inflatable seating outward to watch the sun dip below the horizon off the Sardinian coast, or turn the pieces inward to create an intimate space for a quiet conversation. The drop-stitch construction holds the top and bottom surfaces flat and parallel, so your platform stays remarkably stable. In calm conditions, your drinks can rest steadily beside you. ![Relax Corner, floating lounger by Dockee](https://shelter.hunpera.com/blog/dockee.it/how-to-arrange-a-floating-lounge-setup-in-sardinia-inline-1-5a3907d7.jpg) *Pictured: Relax Corner, a floating lounger* If you are hosting a larger group or a shoulder-season charter, you can easily expand the space. Multiple platforms connect securely using the AirLink Tube. You simply place the units side by side, inflate the tube until it is rigid, slide it into the connection loops and fasten the integrated straps. This creates a continuous, secure surface that can accommodate additional daybeds or act as a mooring point for a Seabob or tender. ## Care and storage for inflatable seating When the sun has set and the evening air cools, bringing your floating lounge setup back aboard is a straightforward process. Every piece is designed for the marine environment and requires very little maintenance. Simply rinse the platform, the daybed and the cushions thoroughly with fresh water to remove any salt residue. You can clean the fabrics with a mild soap solution, and give the teak-look surfaces a regular, gentle clean to maintain their premium appearance. ![Large coastal rock formation in calm water at sunset](https://shelter.hunpera.com/blog/dockee.it/how-to-arrange-a-floating-lounge-setup-in-sardinia-inline-2-efbbe10e.jpg) *Photo: R J, CC BY 3.0, via Wikimedia Commons* Let every piece air-dry completely before you deflate, fold and pack it away. When not in use, store your inflatables dry and out of prolonged direct sunlight. A detailed care guide is included with every order to help keep your equipment in excellent condition. With a little routine care, your seating arrangement will unroll next spring exactly as you left it, ready for another season of quiet anchorages and evening drinks.
