Saturn 16' PRO488 Professional-Grade Inflatable Boat with Aluminum Floor

• Commercial-Grade Aluminum Transom
• Reinforced Aluminum Floor Assembly
• Premium 1.2mm Heavy-Duty PVC Material
• Precision Heat-Welded Construction

The Saturn PRO488 is purpose-built for professionals who operate in environments where reliability, stability, and carrying capacity are mission-critical. As the largest and most capable model in the Saturn PRO lineup, the PRO488 was designed for emergency responders, fire rescue teams, military personnel, professional divers, offshore workers, commercial operators, and serious recreational boaters who need a rugged inflatable platform they can depend on.

Measuring a full 16 feet in length, the PRO488 offers substantial interior space for personnel, equipment, and supplies. The extra-long hull provides excellent weight distribution, increased payload capacity, and superior performance when transporting rescue gear, dive equipment, medical supplies, fuel containers, fishing tackle, camping equipment, or work-related cargo.

The large footprint and oversized buoyancy chambers create an exceptionally stable working platform, making the PRO488 well suited for search and rescue operations, emergency response, dive support, shoreline patrol, oil field and drilling support, scientific expeditions, and other professional marine applications. The spacious cockpit allows multiple occupants and equipment to be carried comfortably while maintaining excellent stability.

At the core of the PRO488 is a commercial-grade aluminum floor system combined with a reinforced aluminum transom engineered to handle larger outboard motors and demanding workloads. The rigid deck provides secure footing for EMT personnel, rescue crews, divers entering and exiting the water, and anglers fighting large fish offshore.

Constructed from extra-heavy-duty 1.2mm PVC fabric with advanced heat-welded seams, the PRO488 is designed to withstand harsh operating conditions. Reinforced construction, oversized tubes, and additional bottom protection help the boat perform reliably in demanding environments where failure is not an option.
