For those that don't want to add permanent cup holders to the swim platform, like me, I found these to be a great alternative (see picture). The only place I have found them is at Academy Sports, they are now carried on their website, http://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/trc-recreation-kool-kaddie-floating-drink-holder/pid-802705?N=359271951&Ntt=kool+kaddie&Ntk=All .

These are advertised as floating beverage holders but I have found they float to high in the water and tip over very easily. However, on the swim deck or any horizontal surface, they are very stable even when the boat is a rock'n.

Even though I have cupholders, more often than not they just sit on the swim deck anyway.

I have these too and love them. They are certainly stable in a swimming pool with a can in it, but a bottle, they are top heavy. We only use bottles with a koozie, and they are stable enough to support your beer while floating in a saddle float or life jacket, but not to hold unattended in the water. But we use them more on the swim deck and in the boat than we do the main cupholders! But agreed @andy07sx230ho , they won't hold a tall beverage unattended.
