A floating construct is formed of a plurality of floats. The floats are constructed of rigid plastic with of a central tube positioned vertically. The floats are hollow and watertight, with the hollow and watertight structure of the floats providing flotation. The floats are connected directly or indirectly to other floats to form the floating construct. The use of multiple floats, which have a relatively small footprint, sized and positioned according to the loading of the floating construct, allows balancing of the overall construct that the floats support.
