Pro-Angler Fishing Inflatable Kayaks 13' FK396

New, limited edition Luna Color FK396 V2.0 now in stock. Limited edition features fishing rod holder patches and gear tracks instead of aluminum benches.

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 V1.0 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.

FK396 V2.0 does not come with benches, but comes with sets of kayak gear tracks, and pre installed patches for fishing rod holders available here. Also, multiple sets of D-rings allows attachment of optional benches, if needed, with sets of lashing tie downs. DIY motor mount can be attached between D-rings for use with electric trolling motor.

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!

Real Fishing Machine! FK396 kayak set up by one of our customers.

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 for 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!

Heavy duty 1,100 Dtex High Strength PVC fabric coated on both side with 1100 g/m2, 0.9mm. Fabric is thick, puncture proof and abrasion resistant.
Two Velcro straps on both tubes to secure oars when not in use.
High-pressure air deck floor with double layer of PVC fabric in a middle.
Double layer of PVC fabric on top of tubes in a cockpit area.
One large removable fin at the bottom for directional stability.
Storage space in front and bow under splash guards.
8 heavy-duty D-rings for optional kayak seats.
Hugging rope with handles in front and back.
Industry standard Halkey-Roberts flat valves design.
Accessories: hand pump, repair kit and carry bag.
FREE BONUS: 2 aluminum benches included with FK396 green and dark gray kayaks.
Limited Edition Luna FK396L does not come with benches, but features fishing rod holder patches and gear tracks. Optional benches and fishing rod holders are available. Benches can be secured between D-rings with optional lashing tie downs. Accessories for gear tracks avail on Amazon.
Kayaks seats are optional, and available in our accessories section.
Kayak paddles are optional. We have Fishing Travel Kayak Paddles available here.

I bought this kayak used off of the FB marketplace. I've owned the Sea Eagle, Advanced Elements, and a hardshell kayaks, so I have something to compare it to. The Sea Eagle and AE make really good kayaks, though the Saturn is definitely a step above. It tracks very well, but not as well as my hardshell, which is a high end perception kayak. It is heavy and bulky, but not any more bulky than my Sea Eagle. I will gladly sacrifice durability for weight.

We recently purchased the Saturn fk396. I have been paddling a canoe for over 60 years and also raced marathon canoes and lived out of a canoe in British Columbia when I was younger. Our first voyage proved we made the right choice. We paddle this as a canoe and I kneel in the stern and this boat tracks amazingly well with or without the skeg. I love how stable it is and I am in the process of building a sailing rig for it. Three of my friends are going to order this model as they realize as I did that it is the best inflatable available for that price and is extremely stable and lightweight as well. I highly recommend this boat. We kept up with friends in solo kayaks and I have absolutely no complaints except I wish I had ordered an inflation gauge at the same time but ordered one separately to make sure I don't overinflate it in the Arizona sun.

I have been using this kayak for four years and could not be happier with my purchase. The versatility of this model far exceeded my expectations. I can paddle solo or with up to 3 other people (mostly children) with me. I can move from sitting to kneeling to standing and feel comfortable in all positions. I can navigate deep and very shallow waters. I can pick up the fully equipped kayak and carry it on my shoulder to the water with ease. I can do all of this and can still pack the kayak up to fit in the trunk of my small car. I just make sure to dry it well before packing it up each time.

This boat exceeded my expectations. It is super durable and well made. I was skeptical at first but glad I went inflatable over a hard shell. Cant wait to customize with some accessories.

I bought this kayak in 2012. It us very stable. My wife and I have caught a lot of fish from it. I would recommend it to any one who enjoys fishing. Every time for the last 4 or 5 years I have had to fish when I take if out of storage.

This boat is as advertised. I've had it a bout 4 weeks now and have taken it out for three excursions on flat waters. It paddles like a kayak, and I notice that if there is significant weight up front, it pushes a little more water than a plastic boat, but is not really any more wind effected than a light flat sided canoe.

I fashioned seats using milk crates and stadium seats as the aluminum seats - while functional - are not particularly comfortable. My seat arrangement is rigid with straps securing it to the D-Rings.

It's a well-thought-out craft. With two paddling, situate the seats in the standard location. With a solo paddler, I've found it works best for me, to have my seat immediately fore of the rear seat location.

It's a responsive boat. It tracks decently and drifts well with the wind for fishing. Pumping up with the hand pump is reasonably effortless and takes about 15 minutes. Using an electric pump sold on this website, it inflates in a couple of minutes!

I'd recommend it.

I do really love my 13’ Fishing Kayak. And so did everybody in Suriname
and Holland that has seen the kayak. On our two week trip through the jungle we scraped a lot
of rocks, bumped a lot of branches and did a lot of rapids. But one needs to do a lot more to
damage the Saturn kayaks. My cousin and I were on our own out there, problems with our gear
could have been a live threatening situation. So trust in our gear / kayaks that we had was really
important. And it all worked out for the best, we had absolutely no problems.
I think your product can sell really well in Europe, and I hope that you guys find the right person(s)
for that.

The kayak is easy to blow up and once blown up lasted the entire week of vacation use. I used a pump for air mattresses to get most of the air in it and finished with the provided pump. It is very comfortable to fish from. \r\nI found the seat with the cushion that I purchased with the boat to be very comfortable. The boat was so stable that I even felt comfortable with an addition boat cushion under the seat to set me up a little higher. I was wondering if it would be difficult to paddle without some sort of foot bracing. I think sitting up a little higher because of the cushions under the seat made paddling comfortable even without foot bracing. In calm water my wife joined me to explore around an island. Sitting on the bench while paddling in calm water was very acceptable. Paddling in wind, the higher freeboard in an inflatable does make the wind more noticable than in an traditional kayak and an inflatable does not glide through the water quite as easily. With the skeg in though, 10 to 15 mile an hour winds were doable for me. \r\nWhen it comes to stability, the inflatable is much more stable than any fixed kayak I have ever used. Moving around in the Kayak is not a problem even in choppy water. For fishing comfort, an inflatable is better than a sit in or sit on top hard kayak. There was so much room in the kayak while I was fishing by myself that I found the velcro fasteners on the side for holding a paddle to not be necessary. I just stored the paddle in the kayak. \r\nI would have welcomed an handle somewhere on the middle of the kayak for picking it up. I would have also welcomed a bit more in the way of information on blowing up the kayak. Either materials with the boat or the pump should have that information. Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase so far. After a week, I can't say about durability, but it looks and feels sturdy. I am looking forward to many more hours of fishing and would recommend the inflatable kayak for people who like to fish.

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.\r\n\r\nWe transport the kayaks long distances deflated and in the zippered heavy duty storage bags which came with the boats. They fit easily in the box of my pickup truck with the kayak seats, life jackets. paddles and 110 and 12 volt air pumps included. At destination RV parks, we inflate the kayaks (mainly with the 110v pump) in about 15 minutes and carry them to the water or put the on a rack built for the pickup and drive short distances to launch sites. Generally we keep the boats inflated at our campsite for anywhere from 2 days to a month and use them frequently. When its time to travel again, deflation and packing the boats back into the bags takes about 30 minutes.\r\n\r\nOccasionally we top off the air pressure in the boats with the provided hand pumps if they remain inflated for over a week, but generally the boats retain air pressure well unless there are wide swings in the outside air temperature. We get lots of questions about the boats from other kayakers. The main point that is always emphasized is how stable our boats are on the water compared with hardsided kayaks. No one who has paddled our boats has ever come close to tipping one of them over.\r\n\r\nWe look forward to many more years of adventure and fun using the boats. Thanks again for a great/durable product at a reasonable price.
