11' SD330 Saturn Inflatable Boat

The 11-feet SATURN SD330 inflatable boat is our BEST selling model. The SD330 will take up to a 15 HP short shaft motor and will carry up to 5 people maximum or 4 people comfortably.

The SD330 is great as a tender for yachts or sailboats. This boat can also be used as a lifesaving raft in case of an emergency.

Our boats are made of 1100 denier Korean PVC fabric with polyester support that has excellent resistance to tearing, tension and breaking. It is a much more heavy-duty PVC fabric than most of our competitors with 1000 denier PVC boats.

The Saturn SD330 inflatable boat comes standard with a high-pressure drop stitch air deck floor. Our drop stitch floors can take up to 9 psi of air pressure, and become extremely rigid once properly inflated. Not only do air floors make inflatable boats much lighter and more compact when deflated, but they also make it much easier to assemble and disassemble the boat. You simply unroll it and pump in air with the included hand pump. To deflate the boat, simply open all air valves and start rolling the boat from the transom, or quickly suck all air out with an electric pump. Click to see how to deflate and fold your inflatable boat. 

Deflated, the SD330 boat will fold to the size of a medium bag. Once deflated and folded, the SD330 can be easily stored in the trunk of your car or in a closet of your apartment. Bag with deflated and packed boat can be easily carried around with inexpensive foldable hand cart. Inflated boat can be easily transported with help of our removable dinghy wheels that are attached to the transom.

The SD330 is great as a fishing boat. You can stand on the air floor just the same way you would stand on a plywood floor. The SD330 was tested to run nicely with an electric trolling motor. This boat is a must for RV owners or anyone who wants to be on the water quick and on a budget. Click here to read inflatable boats reviews of our customers.

Double layers of fabric at the bottom of the tubes and rub-strake protector along the keel provide extra protection from sharp rocks and abrasive sand. The safety valve will prevent excessive air pressure in the boats chambers. 

"Here is picture of the SD330 inflatable boat with my son and nephew in it on the lake. Everything works as advertised. Thanks, Carl."
 
"I bought my Saturn SD330 inflatable boat in the spring or late winter 2011, through careful research I compared it to all other inflatable boats i.e. Zodiac, Avon, Archilles and such, but they were way out of my price range and by accident I stumbled upon the BoatsToGo.com website. I read the reviews of other Saturn owners, who also owned these big name brands like Zodiac and such and as they compared their Saturn inflatable boats to those brands it seems they prefer the Saturn much more..."   Click To Read Full Customer Review >>

* Specifications and accessories are subject to change without notice. Max O/B Motor means: maximum power of outboard motor that can be safely used to plane the boat loaded to the maximum capacity at normal water surface conditions. Please exercise common sense and caution when using maximum motor capacity. Do not jump from wave to wave as new 4-stroke motors are much heavier then 2-stroke and provide extra strain on the transom. Under normal circumstances, with half the maximum persons/load capacity, 50% of maximum O/B power rating may be necessary to put the boat on plane.

Quick Tip! Worried about puncturing the air floor with a fishing hook, dog claws or sharp object? Get a piece of vinyl flooring or rubber mat from your local hardware store. Cut the vinyl to fit inside the boat, over the floor and your air floor will be almost indestructible! When deflating, just roll it up along with the boat for future use.

Budget Solution - Electric motor instead of gasoline. Save over a thousand of dollars by using Electric Trolling motor with Saturn inflatable boats instead of gasoline outboard motor. Electric motors are environmentally friendly and therefore allowed on many small lakes that are off-limit for gas engines. Trolling motor is great for fishing on a lake, river or bay. Electric Trolling motor provide acceptable speed and can run for several hours depending on speed and battery capacity. It will not fly your boat, buy electric motor will move boat nicely and quietly. Approximate speed for 30 lbs motor installed on SD330 boat as tested below was around 5 mph.

Prices for electric trolling motor start at around $100 for 30 LB Thrust Minn Kota Electric Trolling motor. Electric motors are available at such retailers as Bass Shop Pro, Kmart, Outdoor World, Wal-Mart, Sports Authority, etc.

To use Electric Trolling motor you will need Deep Cycle Battery and Battery Charger. Battery meter is also recommended to check for remaining juice in your battery while on a water. Deep Cycle battery cost anywhere from $50 to $120 for top of the line. Charger cost around $20 to $60. Battery meter can be purchased for $14 in local K-Mart store. If large battery is too heavy to carry by hand, you can purchase a small folding baggage cart at K-Mart for round $20.

Electric Trolling motors come in different thrust powers. The more power of thrust, the faster boat will go, but more battery power will be drained. Also for salt water it is recommended to use Salt Water ready motor. Otherwise you will have to clean Fresh Water motor with a fresh water after each use in salt water in order to avoid corrosion.

"We've had our Saturn for about 3 years now. I bought a used solar panel (75w) and had aluminum brackets custom made to mount it to the back of the dinghy. Added a 92 Amp/hour AGM battery with a solar controller, a 55 lb/thrust trolling motor. We hang the Saturn from the davits on our 32' cruising catamaran and never have to charge the battery. See attached photo. Cheers, Bryan."
