14' Saturn Triton Inflatable Ocean Kayak (TROK420)
We're excited to announce the new model 14' Saturn Ocean Kayak with our Triton upgrades is back in stock! It's been challenging to keep up with the demand for this product and they will likely sell out again this summer but we've got more arriving throughout the year.
The Triton Series upgrades represent over $350 additional value and include; upgraded PVC construction ($75 value), heat-welded seam technology ($150 value), Leafield D7 inflation valves ($50 value), and an extended 3-year warranty ($100 value). The boat technical specifications are nearly identical between the Triton model (TROK420) and our standard version (OK420). These Triton series improvements incorporate the newest technologies in inflatable kayak construction and provide an incredible value for those looking to put their kayak to the test.
The list price includes 1 highback foam kayak seat ($50 value) which is really a must for this particular kayak if you're going out on the ocean for long. This is a commercial grade inflatable kayak designed specifically for ocean use. The 14' Saturn Ocean Kayak has some new improvements including our upgraded inflation valves and our upgraded Heytex PVC. The self-bailing floor has been eliminated for this model to limit water entering through the bottom of the kayak when 2-3 people are using it.
While this kayak is not self-bailing, it is still suitable for the ocean and also for flat rivers, bays, and streams. The TROK420 now features 2 removable directional fins to provide greater directional stability and reduce seesaw action you'll experience in competitor products. You can use the fins or remove them when you are kayaking in rocky or shallow conditions. Also the newly designed catamaran-hull feature helps with stability and reduces friction with the water.
This kayak is the most portable ocean ready tandem inflatable kayak on the market. It inflates/deflates in under 5 minutes. It is lightweight and easily stores in the trunk of your car or SUV. The new Heytex heavy-duty PVC is an improved material over our prior models and has proven to be able to handle commercial grade conditions along with rocky/bony water. Our drop stitch customized floor is over 5" thick, is able to be pressurized to over 6 psi making it among the most rigid inflatable ocean kayaks on the market. The floor thickness provides the buoyancy needed to keep the waterline well below the top surface of the floor. The TROK420 series kayak also comes with pre-installed heavy-duty D-rings to accept the included 1 kayak seat and cargo (a 2nd seat can be added for $50).
If you are looking to use the kayak in river rapids and you need a self-bailing design, then please consider the 13' Saturn Whitewater Kayak.
Additional Information
Customer FAQ: How is the Ocean Kayak TROK420 different from your Expedition RK, Fishing FK kayaks, or Whitewater WK kayaks?
Answer: The biggest difference is the position of the floor, the floor thickness (5") and the intent to use the highback kayak seats instead of inflatable thwarts or aluminum bench seats. The thicker floor provides much greater buoyancy, which is great when 2 adults are using it in tandem. The TROK420 is also longer than most models which provides greater leg capacity when paddling tandem and advantageous for more gear hauling. The removable fin design is really helpful for flatwater use or in the ocean. The inflatable floor is directly exposed to the bottom area you are kayaking so it doesn't have the same protection as the FK396 or WK396 models which have the added second layers. This isn't critical for most customers as the single layer of material can easily handle most lake/ocean use. Consider the other models if you want to bang around on the rocks/coral with limited concern. For true river use in rapids where significant water will need to be removed quickly for performance, the 13' Saturn Whitewater Kayak is recommended.
Insert the fin before inflating your kayak. Fold the deflated kayak floor at the slot entrance fin base then slide the fin and attach as shown in the example pictures below (please note the photo below shows 3 fins as is for informational purposes only regarding installation of the single fin included in this model). Unfold the kayak and inflate, it's that simple.
