13' Saturn CAT396 Inflatable Drop Stitch Catamaran Boat Platform.
Introducing the new Saturn Inflatable Drop-Stitch Catamaran — a modern ultra-rigid inflatable platform designed for stability, deck space, shallow water access, and compact transport. Built entirely from high-pressure drop-stitch material, this catamaran inflates into a remarkably solid structure while still packing down into a portable size for storage or transport.
At 13 ft long and 68 in wide, the CAT396 offers a spacious oversized deck with approximately 75 x 48 in cockpit area, giving you plenty of room for fishing, diving, lounging, camping gear, coolers, or custom seating setups. The catamaran-style twin hull design improves stability and helps reduce drag while keeping the deck elevated above water.
Constructed from heavy-duty reinforced PVC drop-stitch fabric with heat-welded seams, the CAT396 is engineered for durability and rigidity similar to a hard platform when inflated to proper pressure. Multiple stainless D-rings across the deck provide numerous attachment points for gear, cargo, coolers, seating, or custom accessories. Integrated side mounting tracks allow installation of optional rod holders, cup holders, fish finders, camera mounts, and other accessories.
The unique open rear cutout design makes it ideal for electric motors, small outboards, steering systems, or water access for diving and swimming. Raised catamaran hulls and narrow side tubes also help improve tracking and efficiency on the water.
Unlike traditional inflatable boats with soft floors and rounded interiors, the flat drop-stitch deck creates a much larger usable standing and storage area.
The rigid platform design is excellent for:
- Fishing
- Diving
- Portable dock applications
- Floating island setups

Quick Tip: If you are worried about the air floor being accidentally punctured by sharp gear or fishing hooks, you can get a piece of vinyl flooring from a local hardware store that can be cut out to fit inside the boat over the floor.
