The new 2025/2026 Saturn Triton Fishing Kayaks just arrived and are available to order now! The Triton Series upgrades for 2025 represent our largest ever upgrade package on any of our kayaks and include over $350 additional value over the standard series. The Triton upgrades offered for this model include our heavy-duty 35 OZ Suijia 1.2mm 2000 Denier PVC ($200 value and over 30% thicker than our Standard model), UK imported Leafield D7 inflation valves ($75 value), raised tapered bow design ($75 upgrade), 2000 cc capacity 7.2psi barrel pump ($50 value), and an extended 3-year warranty. These Triton series improvements incorporate the newest technologies in inflatable boat construction and provide an incredible value for those looking to put their boat to the test. If available, this option will be listed under the "Model" selection.
The boat technical specifications are nearly identical between the Triton model (TRFK396) and our standard version (FK396), with exception of the deeper raised bow design in the Triton model. These Triton series improvements incorporate the newest technologies in inflatable boat construction and provide an incredible value for those looking to put their kayak to the test.
Our 13' Saturn Fishing Kayak is easy to carry by a single person, inflates/deflates in under 5 minutes, stores in the included storage bag with rough dimensions of 45"x28"x12", and is the most versatile inflatable fishing kayak on the market today. This kayak is the Swiss Army Knife of inflatable fishing kayaks and to make it even better the newest version includes extra thicker black PVC bottom skin layer (over 70% thicker than our 0.9mm PVC tube material) which covers the bottom surface of the kayak and adds a second layer to protect the exterior tube chambers directly in contact with the surface of the water.
This upgraded version also includes upgraded inflation valves to ensure durability and the maximum pressure rating in all chambers. These upgrades provide piece of mind knowing you have the highest quality / value ratio on the inflatable kayak market. This kayak is an absolute must for any RVer or camper where a fishing craft with maximum portability is critical. This is the kayak to own when you want to escape the pandemic and hit the water.
This kayak is made of the same heavy-duty 1100 Dtex PVC (Triton version upgrades include 1.2mm Italian Suijia PVC) as many of our other Saturn inflatable boats and the drop-stitch high-pressure airdeck floor is the most rigid inflatable floor on the inflatable kayak market. The floor is made to support up to 3 adults (even though that would be a tight squeeze). A double layer of PVC fabric is applied to the bottom and an extra layer has been added to the high contact areas of the top tubes supporting the aluminum bench seats. Our rigid high buoyancy tubes and customized floor make the Saturn TRFK396 kayak so stable, that you can stand up and fish if needed (see the photos of our customers doing just that).
The 13' Saturn Fishing Kayak comes with 2 removable aluminum benches that can be used for mounting various hardware, such as rod holders, GPS units, video cameras, dive flags, anchor mounts, and even a fish finder. Check out our customer photos and videos showing many of their innovative ideas! If you want even more space and the capability to comfortably accommodate 3 adults you might want to consider our stretched out 14' TRFK430 Fishing Kayak.
What makes our inflatable fishing kayaks so unique, is the multitude of ways they can be used. You can sit directly on the aluminum benches to paddle using the included kayak paddle or you can remove the seats and install our custom high-back kayak seats for full back support. It is also possible to replace the rear aluminum bench with a longer version and add a vertical plate for an optional electric motor.
The 13' Saturn TRFK396 fishing inflatable kayak is a breeze to paddle due to its narrow profile, high buoyancy exterior tubes, and rigid drop stitch floor.
Please note that this kayak is not a self-bailer. It was designed for lakes, ponds, flatwater rivers, oceans and bays. If you are looking for a self-bailing kayak, no need to look any further than our 13' Saturn Whitewater Kayak. If you want this specific model and absolutely need it to be a self-bailing unit you can cut out 4-6 self bailing holes in the kayak bottom to let excess water escape. However, that option may allow water to entire above the kayak floor depending on the weight capacity and is really not advised because the repair time if you are unsatisfied is lengthy.

Customer Testimonials

"I am all the way in East Africa, and I am crazy about fishing. I bought the kayak via a mutual friend from the US after I saw his boat. Throughout my life I've had lots of deferent boats, but man this is a nice boat. I am using the boat in Kenya great lakes like Lake Victoria. I intend to use it also at the coast for fishing on the reefs." Marius, Kenya
"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 Intercostals 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.."
"I wanted to write a quick letter describing my experience with the FK396 fishing inflatable kayak that I purchased last June. We have been using an inflatable kayak for the last four years. We purchased a Sea Eagle 330 to take with us in our fifth wheel trailer as we traveled full time around the country for approximately three years. Although the Sea Eagle did a satisfactory job most of the time, we found it wanting in several areas. I like to fish in everything from small rivers and ponds to large lakes and even inshore ocean bays. I was looking for a heavy duty inflatable that I could easily mount fishing accessories to and even possibly a trolling motor. My search took me to the website where I found just what I was looking for. I must admit I was extremely skeptical when I saw the low price on what seemed to be a very high quality boat. I had seen similar boats advertised for at least twice the price but the specifications and the reviews I read convinced me to give the FK396 a try..."
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.

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.

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 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 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 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.

The FK396 V2.0 is an impressive inflatable fishing kayak. Its portability is a major advantage, making it perfect for transport and storage. The 1100 Dtex PVC construction ensures durability, while the high-pressure air deck floor provides excellent rigidity.
The model's unique features like gear tracks and rod holder patches add to the fishing experience. The kayak's versatility, with its various configuration options, is a huge plus. The FK396 V2.0 is an investment worth making for all fishing enthusiasts.

I've owned the 13' Fishing Inflatable Kayaks FK396 for a while now, and it has been a great investment. Its portability is a standout feature, and it's ideal for those with limited storage options. So far, it has held up well in terms of quality, and I'm pleased with its performance

The FK396 offers ample storage space, with compartments in the front and bow under the splash guards. You can bring all your fishing gear and essentials, ensuring nothing gets left behind. The inclusion of hugging ropes with handles in the front and back further enhances convenience and ease of use. This kayak has been designed with the needs of anglers in mind, providing practical features that make your fishing trips more enjoyable and productive.
