Saturn CB290 inflatable boat specifications

  • Question: What makes this boat cheaper than other Saturn Boats of similar size?
  • Answer: While this boat is made by same factory, and from same fabric as all other Saturn boats, this boat model does represent barre minimum, with smaller tube diameters, more narrow hull, no inflatable keel and no additional layers on bottom of tubes. This is a basic, flat bottom, no frills inflatable boat.

Once deflated, CB290 boats can be stored in your trunk, as they take up about as much space a medium luggage bag. Store it anywhere, take it anywhere. Store it in the RV, take it to the lake, or put it in the ocean. Your Saturn CB290 inflatable boat will get you closer to the surf, the fish, and the great outdoors, faster, cheaper, and easier than ever before.

Saturn Budget Inflatable Boats are affordable, lightweight boats ideal for ponds, rivers, lakes, bays, and other protected waters. While they may be used in the open ocean on a calm, low-wind day, their smaller tube diameters make them better suited for sheltered waters rather than rough or offshore conditions.

Quick Tip: How to Install Optional Keel: 

This boat is designed with a flat bottom, but you can add a simple DIY keel to improve tracking and stability by placing a semi-rigid insert under the air floor. Deflate the air floor, position a long object along the centerline, then reinstall and inflate the floor to hold it in place. There are two Velcro straps under the air floor designed to secure this insert. The easiest option is a large foam pool noodle (about $3 at Walmart or Target), which can be strapped in place and will act like a keel once the floor is inflated. For more rigidity, you can insert a PVC pipe inside the noodle before installing it.

Quick Tip! Worried about puncturing the air floor with a fishing hook, dog claws or sharp object? Get a piece of vinyl flooring or rubber mat from your local hardware store. Cut the vinyl to fit inside the boat, over the floor and your air floor will be almost indestructible! When deflating, just roll it up along with the boat for future use.

Note: Specifications and accessories are subject to change without notice. Max O/B Motor means: maximum power of outboard motor that can be safely used to ride the boat loaded to the maximum capacity at normal water surface conditions. Please exercise common sense and caution when using maximum motor capacity. Do not jump from wave to wave as new 4-stroke motors are much heavier then 2-stroke and provide extra strain on the transom. Under normal circumstances, with half the maximum persons/load capacity, 50% of maximum O/B power rating may be necessary to put the boat on plane.

I'm thoroughly impressed by the quality and performance of the Saturn CB290. When I first purchased it, I had my reservations because of the price, but it's proven to be worth every cent. It's safe, with its separate air chambers and safety grab lines. The heat welded seams make it durable and long-lasting.

It's also super easy to transport. Just deflate it, pack it in the carry bag that came with it, and you're good to go. Plus, the boat is not only affordable, but it also saves me the costs associated with trailers, storage, and maintenance. It's a great boat for those looking for a cost-effective way to get into boating.
Perfect for limited storage spaces. I can easily carry and store my 9.6' Inflatable Budget Boats CB290.

While these design choices contribute to the lower price point, they do result in a slight compromise in stability and performance.

I've owned the 9.6' Inflatable Budget Boats CB290 for 4 years and it's been amazing! Thrilled with its performance.

Whether you choose a gas motor for speed or an electric motor for a quiet fishing experience, the CB290 delivers quality and durability at a budget-friendly price.
I've continuously owned inflatable boats for over 50 years. Currently also have a Hypalon 310 RIB. I bought the Budget 9.6 inflatable, to have a lightweight boat to take on the sailboat for weekends without having to get the RIB out. It's light, very well built, materials look good and the design is pretty solid. If looking for a light easy to haul around inflatable at a great price, this would be good choice.
Never thought I would enjoy boating until I purchased the Saturn CB290. It's affordable, durable, and extremely convenient. The flat air valves with the pushpin design are reliable and simple to use, and the rub strike all around the boat is very durable.

What I love most about the boat is its versatility. Whether I want to use a gas motor to speed across the water or an electric motor for a quiet fishing trip, this boat supports it all. Plus, the high-pressure drop stitch air floor included adds to the rigidity, ensuring good performance. If you're considering this boat, don't hesitate. It's worth every penny!
its good, no issues.
I was a bit worried, while I know Saturn is a great brand I dident know if this inflatable would be good considering how low the price is. I needed a dinghy that would be easy to transport and quick to deploy yet strong and reliable and I am really happy to say that I found it with the cb290, it has a really nice build quality, I would suggest you give it a try its definitely worth it.
loving it so far and its hard to believe how cheap this is. I like taking it to a river near my house and fishing. Is good that its so portable.
