13' PRO-Angler Series Inflatable Fishing Kayak.
Easy to carry and portable to store, this fishing kayak is a must for any RV, campground or any other situation where a
fishing portability is important. If you live in
a condo or home near the water and want to go fishing, but
have no place to dock a full size angler kayak, then this inflatable kayak will keep you ready for fishing in a
moment notice.
This kayak is made of the same heavy-duty 1100 Dtex PVC as Saturn inflatable boats and rafts. The floor is made of a high-pressure air deck that is extremely rigid when inflated, but can be rolled up when deflated. In addition, a double layer of PVC fabric is applied to the air floor and on top of the tubes, in between the benches to prevent accidental fishing hook accidents. Rigid high buoyancy tubes make Saturn FK396 kayak so stable, that you can stand up and fish if needed.
FK396 Fishing Series kayaks come with 2 removable aluminum benches that can be used for mounting various hardware, such as rod holders, fish finder, GPS units, video cameras, dive flags, anchor mounts, or pretty much anything else you can imagine.
Our unique sun shade bimini top for kayaks can also be attached directly to aluminum bench to provide protection against the hot sun and light rain. It can be bolted down or attached with industrial Velcro for quick removal.
What makes this kayak so unique, is the multitude of ways it can be used. You can sit directly on the aluminum bench and paddle with kayak or canoe paddles. No kayak seats are
needed for that! Or, you can attach comfortable foldable boat chairs with swivel platform directly to aluminum benches.
You can also remove the aluminum benches, and install 2 regular kayak seats instead. It is also possible to replace the rear aluminum
bench with a longer version and add a vertical plate for an optional electric motor.
Or maybe even attach a custom made sail kit directly to the front bench. 
Configuration possibilities for this fishing kayak are literally endless!
The
Saturn FK396 fishing inflatable kayak is a breeze to paddle due to its narrow
profile and oversized high buoyancy tubes. However, if you need to move the
kayak seat slightly higher, or your rear does not fit in between the kayak
tubes, a type IV flotation cushion, that is sold f
or around $10 in many retail
and outdoor stores, will fit nicely on the bottom of this kayak and right under
the kayak seat. It also will act as a PFD in case of an emergency, or beach seat
cushion once you get ashore.
Please note that this kayak is not a self-bailer. It was designed for lakes, slow rivers, oceans or bays. If you absolutely must take it to a whitewater river, you can cut out 4-6 self bailing holes in the kayak bottom to let excess water escape. Otherwise, a super absorbent ShamWow sold in many retail stores is great for getting excess water out of your non-bailing kayak. Simply put the ShamWow in the water and squeeze it outside - works as a pump!

Customer's reviews of FK396 fishing inflatable kayak: |

"16 months ago I purchased three kayaks - 2 FK396 and 1 SK470. Soon thereafter they were put to use. My wife and I, several of our friends, and grandchildren have paddled the boats on the Great Lakes, inland lakes and rivers in Michigan, and the Intercoastal as well as rivers on the Gulf Coast of Florida. I know we have 150+ miles and many hours of paddling the boats with no problems and lots of fun times... |

"I wanted to write a quick letter describing my experience with the FK396 fishing inflatable kayak that I purchased last June. We have been using an inflatable kayak for the last four years. We purchased a Sea Eagle 330 to take with us in our fifth wheel trailer as we traveled full time around the country for approximately three years. Although the Sea Eagle did a satisfactory job most of the time, we found it wanting in several areas. I like to fish in everything from small rivers and ponds to large lakes and even inshore ocean bays. I was looking for a heavy duty inflatable that I could easily mount fishing accessories to and even possibly a trolling motor. My search took me to the boatstogo.com website where I found just what I was looking for. I must admit I was extremely skeptical when I saw the low price on what seemed to be a very high quality boat. I had seen similar boats advertised for at least twice the price but the specifications and the reviews I read convinced me to give the FK396 a try..." |
