         8 . A floating cooler device comprising:
 a body comprised of:
 a wheel; 
 an interior space; 
 a first lid, the first lid comprised of a locking mechanism; 
 a waterproof storage area comprised of a second lid and a charging port, the second lid comprised of a second locking mechanism; 
 a solar panel; and 
 a handle attached to the body via a pivot point. 
   
     
     
         9 . The floating cooler device of  claim 8 , wherein the body is comprised of a buoyant material. 
     
     
         10 . The floating cooler device of  claim 9 , wherein the body is comprised of an insulated material. 
     
     
         11 . The floating cooler device of  claim 8 , wherein the interior space is comprised of a drainage valve. 
     
     
         12 . The floating cooler device of  claim 8 , wherein the solar panel is comprised of a waterproof solar panel. 
     
     
         13 . The floating cooler device of  claim 12 , wherein the solar panel provides power to the charging port. 
     
     
         14 . The floating cooler device of  claim 8 , wherein the body is comprised of an attachment point. 
     
     
         15 . The floating cooler device of  claim 8 , wherein the body is comprised of a light. 
     
     
         16 . The floating cooler device of  claim 8 , wherein the handle can rotate at least 90 degrees around the pivot point. 
     
     
         17 . The floating cooler device of  claim 8 , wherein the first lid attaches to the body via a first hinge. 
     
     
         18 . The floating cooler device of  claim 8 , wherein the second lid attaches to the body via a second hinge. 
     
     
         19 . A method of using a floating cooler device, the method comprising the following steps:
 providing a floating cooler device comprised of a buoyant, insulated body comprised of a wheel, a handle, and interior space with a first lid, a waterproof storage area with a charging port, and a solar panel;   filling the interior space with an amount of ice and a food or a beverage;   closing the first lid to secure the amount of ice, the food, or the beverage within the interior space;   placing an electronic device into the waterproof storage area, attaching the electronic device to the charging port, and closing a second lid of the waterproof storage area; and   rotating the handle about a pivot point such that the buoyant, insulated body can be pulled by the handle into a body of water.   
     
     
         20 . The method of using a floating cooler device of  claim 19  further comprised of a step of placing an item in the waterproof storage area.
