Saturn Inflatable Boats

Blow Up Boat – Article from Kinetic Shift

When things blow up they often go “ka-bomb,” but when the BoatsToGo gets blown up (as in inflated) it becomes a KaBoat. We’re not sure if we’re the only ones that appreciate that joke, but it does describe this crossover that is somewhere between a full-fledged boat and a kayak.

It features a slim hull design that was reportedly modeled after narrow Asian Dragon boats, and this sleek profile allows the KaBoat to glide effortlessly over water at speeds faster than traditional boats, while still providing space for an outboard motor and supplies. As a result the boat travels at faster speeds due to less water resistance, and uses less energy to be propelled in the water as well. But what really turns our heads is that this boat is a lot easier to get in and out of the water.

The KaBoats is available in 12-foot, 14-foot, 16-foot and even an oversized 16-foot version, with prices ranging from $499 to $849. So whether it is half-kayak or half-boat we don’t think this one blows in any way!

Why a Saturn Inflatable?

So why should you invest in a Saturn Inflatable Boat above all others???

Hull
All Saturn inflatable boats are made of 1100 Deniers heavy-duty PVC fabric. Hull features: inflatable keel with a rub strake, marine-grade plywood transom, double layer of fabric at the bottom of the tubes and a one-way drain valve with plug.

Stable
Being an inflatable, SATURN boats have a low center of gravity, making it practically impossible to capsize them! Whether stationary or cruising, a SATURN inflatable boat is always stable. You can stand when fishing, children are safe, and mooring is exceptionally simple. Great as a fishing boat too!

Unsinkable
The buoyancy tubes of SATURN inflatable boats, river rafts and inflatable kayaks are made up of several independent airtight compartments. If one compartment unexpectedly deflates, the others remain inflated. This feature makes Saturn inflatable boats, rafts and kayaks almost impossible to sink, thereby allowing you to return slowly to safety.

Easy to Store
Once deflated and folded, SATURN inflatable boats or raft or inflatable kayaks takes up about as much space as a medium sized bag. You can store inflatable boats or inflatable kayaks in the trunk of your car, locker, under the stairs or in a corner of the garage and have it ready for the next weekend or holiday.

Easy to Launch
...and easy to pull up onto the beach. Like all inflatable boats, the weight of a SATURN can be up to three times lighter than a comparable rigid boat. You wouldn't hesitate to beach this boat and spend the day on a beautiful, remote creek.

Sturdy
Welded rubbing strake and transom, cold welded seams, reinforced cone ends; the high standard of quality of its materials and the perfect finish of its assembly are the major guarantee of the sturdiness of your BoatsToGo. It is coated with PVC-top of the industry for durability and strength, and found only on Saturn boats second-generation PVC materials.

Economical
Saturn inflatable boats are intended as the best introductions possible to boating on a moderate budget. Its maintenance is simple and inexpensive. It requires a small outboard, that is economical to buy and to use, and if maintained properly, a Saturn will last many years.

Saturn is the perfect inflatable boat for discovering the joys of boating. Easy to set up, it is fitted with a roll up air floor making assembly quick and easy; simply unroll and inflate with the foot-pump or the electric pump! Safe and easy to navigate, a BoatsToGo has an inflatable keel whose form creates a high performance hull shape. Easy to transport and easy to store away, a BoatsToGo travels in the trunk of you car.

Customer Testimonials for Kaboat

Many people are curious if the Saturn Kaboat is everything we say it is. Well, here's the answer:

"Hello, I purchased the SK396R and love it. The boat is better quality than expected and is great since I live in an apartment. Set up time from the back of my mini-van to water is about 5 minutes, I can often set it up and be out in the water before larger solid-hull boats can get off of their trailers and going. With my small outboard this things zips and since it doesn't weigh much at all, I barely use a gallon of gas all day. Anyways thanks for making a fantastic boat that I can afford on a college budget." Kevin, James River, Richmond, VA.

"Just wanted to tell you how much I love my 15 ft Kaboat. I get compliments wherever I go. I fish it in both freshwater and salt and it has performed wonderfully. Very stable, safe and fun. After seeing my boat in action, no one I know wants a canoe anymore.... The best part is: completely portable and no maintenance!!!! What's not to love? I keep it in the backseat of my Ford Taurus. Whoever designed it should get the Nobel prize for boat design. I put a 3 HP mercury on it and it really moves. Just can't say enough. Thanks Boats-to-go!"

"Prize...CATCH OF THE WEEK. Did you know that with the help of my Saturn KaBoat I won a prize for a popular fishing magazine ?.... Greetings" Manuel, FL

TIPS on riding and surfing with a Saturn Inflatable PaddleBoard for the first time.

Today was Victoria's first time with a Saturn Inflatable Paddle Board.  So how did she handle it and how easy was it to ride for the first time?  Well...  She loved it and learned how to ride in no time at all.  Not only is stand up paddle boarding some of the most fun you can have on the ocean, but it's also a great workout for your body.  So here are some quick tips about how to ride and even surf using a Saturn Inflatable Kayak:

TIPS:

1.  Have the right attitude. You dont have to be a pro surfer to get out in the waves on your stand up paddle board. Start in calmer water to get the hang of the basics. The technique you learn in small waves is the basics for riding, no matter how big the waves are that you intend to ride.

2.  Gain stronger control. As you ride, be sure to try for harder and harder strokes as well as longer and more controlled strokes.  This way you will become stronger and more in control on the paddle board.  You will increase your capabilities and become much more effective when tackling other aspects of paddle boarding later.

3.  Learn how to turn. Learning when and how to turn are the key elements of catching a wave.  First you need to choose the wave you are going to catch.  Then you have to turn your board as quickly as possible so you can start paddling toward the shore.

4.  Catch the Wave! This is where your paddling skills come in.  As soon as you have chosen your wave and made the turn begin to paddle with the nose of your board pointing just a bit up.  You need to get up enough speed to catch the wave as it approaches.  Paddle paddle paddle.  Once the wave comes it should pick you up and allow you to cruise right into shore.

Follow these steps and you too can learn how to paddle board and even surf on your first time out.  Victoria in the video did and this was her very first time on a paddle board!

A New Inflatable Windsurfing Experience

It is as much fun as windsurfing, but without falling in the water. The speed is a little bit slower and with much more comfort and relaxation than standing. Plus, you can always stop, drop anchor and go for a swim or lay down and sunbathe! Does this sound too good to be true?

The Saturn Inflatable Sail Board is a very stable alternative to traditional boards. It is perfect for outdoor water sport activity on a windy day. Sail assembly will take only a couple of minutes with a short learning curve. Then all you need is sail breeze up to a maximum of 15mp/h and a sunny warm day. Users can sit directly on the board, or place a beach chair on top and travel in comfort!

You can ride it over the beach surf with ease. You can also stand up if you need to reach the mast. Even if it overturned (which is not easy), you can swim around, and pull down on the raised side to lift the sail out of the water.

What makes this product unique, is a built in round mast opening, and 4 large directional fins glued to the bottom, which act as a sail boat keel. No complex assembly needed. Just unroll the sail board, pump it about 20% to keep its shape, insert the mast support into the hole and keep pumping until the fabric surface is hard to the touch. The mast support will get squeezed tight into the hole, once board is fully inflated.

The Saturn Inflatable Sail Board is truly a remarkable invention that makes sailboarding a much more convenient experience for all sorts of users. Everything folds to very small size that can fit to the trunk of smallest car. It's as much fun as windsurfing, but with comfort of sitting and easy sailing as the video below demonstrates:

Please note that this is a new product, still in development, and there are could be some aspects that may need improvements or customer's improvisation. We will appreciate any comments or feedback you can provide us with this product.

The Freedom of Inflatable Kayaks

Most avid kayakers are used to the hard nose big kayaks that most would instantly bring to mind. These vessels have been a staple in the industry for a long time now and users were forced to deal with transportation and storage issues ever since. That all seems to be changing as inflatable kayaks gain more traction and respect among dedicated boaters.

Logistics Problems of Traditional Kayaks:

Not to state the obvious, but kayaks are a pain to transport, store and take care of. These happen to be the biggest benefits in switching to inflatable kayaks. Users are accustomed to dragging a heavy kayak out of the garage tying it to the roof of their vehicle and trying to scratch it in the process. The fact is, you can get rid of all these problems with an inflatable kayak.

Inflatable Kayak Benefits:

Inflatable Kayaks are light. They're versatile. Instead of dragging a large kayak out of your garage you can just put an inflatable in the back seat and blow it up on location. The benefits of this are tremendous. Not only are you saving storage space, but you are also saving the roof of your car. You actually save yourself this hassle twice, because when it comes time to take it home it just deflates again saving space, time and your car.

You may think there are downside to the inflatable kayak, but we haven't really found any. The material of top brands like Saturn is so durable that we think they will actually last longer than traditional kayaks that can break on heavy impact. Furthermore, the 3 chamber Saturn inflatable kayaks will not sink; and yes we have heard some horror stories with traditional kayaks.

In short; Inflatable kayaks offer more freedom and versatility than traditional options and avid users are using them more and more with many additional uses. There is even this cool video of the guys from www.boatstogo.com surfing the waves in theirs.

Verdict: Inflatable kayaks are the way to go to save time, space, money, your car and peace of mind.

Saturn Kaboat Reaches New Speeds

The innovative crossover between an inflatable boat and kayak by Saturn has shown some impressive functionality against traditional boats and Kayaks.  Simply put the Kaboat creates the best of both worlds from Kayaking and Boating and delivers them in a sexy new design.

This slim design is what lets the Kaboat rip through water at speeds much faster than traditional inflatable boats abundant throughout the industry.  Yet there is still space for an outboard motor and supplies.  So you get all the normal boat functionality at much faster speeds and more efficient water resistance.

The inflatable tube chambers is the beginning of what makes this different from a Kayak.  In fact, these boats barely resemble a Kayak at all, except when it comes to water resistance and potential speed.  The inflatable chambers provide a comfortable and safe experience that you would expect from a full size inflatable.  The rigid material has been remarked upon across the internet as being highly durable in some of the worst conditions.

At the end of the day, the Kaboat posts some impressive speeds and attributes due to it's unique design.  Only Saturn's Kaboat provides you with the sleek speed potential of a kayak with all the safety and security of a normal boat.  There's nothing like being able to securely take out all your tackle while having the versatility to rip through the water at faster speeds and to fit into tighter spaces.

The Saturn Kaboat is truly a unique invention that should be owned by every fisherman and water sports enthusiast alike.  Check out the Youtube video below for a demo, or go to Saturn Kaboats for more details.
