Why buy a Saturn inflatable boat?
Are they better than the rest?
While you can find many new brands of inflatable
boats sold at very attractive prices, please keep in
mind that not all of them are coming from a reliable
supplier as Saturn boats do.
There are hundreds of new
inflatable boat companies popping up in China and other
countries, assembling boats in garages without proper
equipment or intimate knowledge of how to make not only
a good looking boat, but to also make boats that last.
For example, minimal
humidity is important for the glue to cure properly
during the boat’s assembly, but many suppliers don’t
even bother installing dehumidification systems. As a
result, these cheap boats may be Ok at first glance,
explaining initial positive feedback, but will fall
apart in less than a year. Also, did you know that only
boats assembled by women’s hands are exceptional
quality boats?
And guess what, we’ve
already tried many of these new manufacturers in an
attempt to offer an absolute bargain! However, every
time we deal with such bargain suppliers, we regret it
soon after we hear that seams have fallen apart or the
transom has fallen off after only 8 months.
Unfortunately, some bargain Chinese manufacturers
deliver unacceptable quality, cheap PVC fabrics, seams
that do not last, extremely bad packing and total lack
of warranty support.
Also, keep in mind that if your inflatable boat fails
and you need replacements as per the warranty, only a
Company such as ours, who receives new shipments of
boats every month, can provide you with a proper
replacement. It will be impossible to get warranty
support from someone who purchased 20 boats with the
intention of making a quick buck and disappearing later.
Are you sure that this guy who offers a 5 year warranty
for a “too-good-to-be-true price”, will be there 4
years later?
BoatsToGo has been
importing boats from our regular supplier in South Korea
since 1999 and we receive shipments of new boats every
month. Our customers are extremely happy with the
exceptional quality of Saturn inflatable boats and
BoatsToGo is a
U.S.
registered company that has been in business since 1999.
We are here to help you with all of your boating needs
and warranty services.

motor. Great as a fishing boat.

several times a month and mostly in the summer time.

and will be ready when you are. Inflatable boats are the
only portable solution that allows you to be in the

Easy to set up, SATURN inflatable boat will take you for
the fun day of exploration at bay, river or lake. Once
deflated, inflatable boat can be easily stored in the
trunk of your car. Deflated inflatable boat takes the
size of medium luggage bag and can be stored almost
anywhere.
If you like fishing, then go where the fish are.
Inflatable boat will take you there, away from the water
edge and closer to the fish. If you like to spend
weekends being closer to the nature, then inflatable
boat is what you need. If you have RV or go camping,
most likely you will be by the water. Take inflatable
boat with you.
With optional Hydrofoil installed on outboard motor,
Saturn inflatable boat will plane over the water like a
jet sky. You can even make left and right turns on a
smaller models without use of hands and tiller. Once
boat flying over the water at maximum speed put tiller
up and bends to the left or right to make boat slowly
turn in desirable directions.
An inflatable boat or dinghy is a folding boat made with
its side tubes and bow of flexible material as PVC or
Hypalon containing pressurized air. For smaller dinghies
and rafts, the floor and hull beneath can be flexible or
hard. On inflatable boats dinghies and rafts longer than
11 feet, the floor may consists of several rigid plywood
or aluminum plates fixed between the tubes but not
joined rigidly together. Inflatable boat transom is
rigid, made of heavy duty marine plywood. Transom
providing a location point for mounting an outboard
engine. Most inflatable rafts, dinghies and boats are
designed to be deflated and packed into in a small
package, so they can be easily stored for transportation
or use when needed.
Those who love being out on the outdoor and waters
whether it is a lake, a river or the ocean have always
this yearning to own their own boat rather than
constantly renting one. A big damper is the cost of a
sailing vessel, which could run into thousands of
dollars. For this growing niche market of small budget
customers there is the wonderfully economical option of
owning an inflatable boat.
An inflatable boat is basically a V-shaped boat that
comprises of large tubes filled with air pressure that
ensures it keeps afloat. A rigid inflatable boat,
referred to as RIB, does not have soft flooring there
will be aluminum, fiberglass, molded plastic or maybe
even a plywood floor. Soft flooring enables you to roll
up the boat and pack it away in its case easily.
What are the Factors to consider before buying an
inflatable boat?
Specific use of the boat: An
inflatable boat can be used as fishing or diving
platform, for white river rafting, for competitive
racing, for skiing along the water, for sailing, or
maybe just a spot of paddling. In each of these
categories, you will once again need to consider the
specific location. For example, in the case of fishing,
you need to decide whether you will be throwing a line
offshore in shallow salt waters, an inflatable sport
boat a little over 12 feet in length would be preferable
to an RIB. On the other hand, if you are going angling
in a small lake you could do just fine with an
inflatable kayak. Similarly, white water rafting will
require a different type of inflatable boat from simple
rafting down a placid river.
Number of people who will be using it: Quite obviously,
you will need a larger inflatable boat to take on the
weight of more people. There should also be enough space
for everybody. It should not be uncomfortably crowded,
for example, if you are going on a fishing expedition
and everyone elbows are practically banging against each
other while casting the fishing lines!
To select between high pressure air deck floor and
plywood deck floor you should take in consideration how
often you will be inflating/deflating your boat. If you
planning to inflate and deflate boat often, then go with
air floor which allows assembly and disassembly of
inflatable boat in a breeze. However, if you will keep
boat inflated for longer then a week, then select
inflatable boat with a plywood floor.
What are the important Accessories for an inflatable
boat?
Highest on your list should be life
vests. This is not only because it is compulsory to wear
a life vest while out on the water, but also “Safety
First” should always be your motto. Make sure the ones
you buy adhere to the safety standards of the US Coast
Guard. Next on your list will have to be a pump to
inflate/ deflates the boat. Go for one that is quick it
should not take more than 10 minutes to pump in air in
the tubes. It should be rugged and lightweight. A very
useful accessory is a floor-mounted pedestal steering
unit, which includes the wheel and cable. The steering
wheel itself comes separately ensure that it has a good
grip. Seats are necessary accessories if you are going
to be out fishing. Available on the market are
vinyl-cushioned seats that have folding backs and can be
mounted on their aluminum base with the requisite nuts
and bolts. You can opt for a stationery seat or a swivel
chair. You can even set up a padded storage seat. While
these seats are fine for seating, manufacturers will
warn you not to operate an inflatable boat from an
elevated seat, as this is dangerous. Other terms
for inflatable boats are "rubber dinghy",
"tender", "raft". "Blow up
boat" or "Inflatables".
Types of Inflatable Boats:
The tubes of inflatable boats are
mostly made of rubberized, synthetic sheets of PVC with
a nylon backing or Hypalon to provide light-weight and
buoyancy. The tubes are often constructed in separate
chambers separated by baffles, each chamber has a
special valve to inflate or deflate it. Most inflatable
boats have an inflatable keel in a middle of the boat,
just under the floor to help with tracking and
directional stability. Keel can be inflated via round
opening in a floor. Due to the high buoyancy, it is easy
to put inflatable boat on a plane, thus making it much
faster than regular boats.
Inflatable boats are usually between 5 to 20 feet long
and are propelled by outboard motors of 2.5 to 80 HP.
Due to their maneuverability, speed, portability and
lightweight, inflatable boats can be used as:
• Emergency rescue water craft
• Dive boats for scuba diving and snorkeling
• Tenders for larger yachts, sailboats and ships in
port and at sea
• Luxury boat tenders
• Towing of recreational water skiing and knee
boarding
• Sport racing and competition
• Commercial transportation
• Recreational fishing
• Military deployment, transporting soldiers from a
vessel to shore and back
Important Note: Whatever the water activity, do
respect the local rules and regulations on the type of
sailing craft that can be used and whether you are
permitted to use an inflatable boat with an outboard
motor.
