16' Saturn Rescue Boat

The new Triton models are in stock now! The Triton Series upgrades for 2024 represent our largest ever upgrade package and include over $500 additional value. The Triton upgrades offered for the 16' Saturn Triton Inflatable Rescue Boat include our heavy-duty 35 OZ Suijia 1.2mm 2000 Denier PVC ($300 value and nearly 50% thicker than our Standard model), UK imported Leafield D7 inflation valves ($150 value), Leafield PRV pressure relief valve ($80 value), fiberglass coated marine grade plywood transom, 2000 cc capacity 7.2psi barrel pump, and an extended 3-year warranty. The boat technical specifications are nearly identical between the Triton model (TR488) and our standard version (SD488). 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 16' Saturn Triton Rescue Inflatable Boat (TR488F) was designed for commercial rescue operations but works great as a heavy-duty commercial boat as well. It is excellent for rescue operations and has enhanced technical dimensions and tube diameters to support greater weight capacity, buoyancy, and stability when needed. Improved safety features over our standard 16' Saturn Dinghy include upgraded 20" diameter external tubes, 2 additional exterior tube air chambers (5 total vs. 3), 1' increased beam width (6'8" vs. 5'8"), nearly 1' increased interior width (40" vs. 28"), and 9 carrier handles (vs. 6), and 3 exterior stainless steel D-ring connection points. The 3 aluminum seat benches provide increased space between passenger seating positions and the 2 interior stored paddles provide quick entry from the water at any location (vs. the attached oars in the 16' Saturn Dinghy).

The increased capacity and interior space over our 16' Saturn Dinghy model inflatable boat is great for fishermen, guides, scuba instructors, and weekend warriors. It comes with our upgraded sectional aluminum floor which is the perfect complement of weight, rigidity, and performance. The two bow sections are made of a marine grade plywood floor covered with a grey protective resin.

Double layers of 1,100 heavy duty DTEX PVC fabric at the bottom of the tubes and a rub strake protector along the keel provide added protection where you need it most. The 5-layer thick construction is excellent against rupture, tearing, tension, and abrasion. The pressure relief valve will help prevent damage associated with excessive air pressure if the boat is inflated beyond the manufacturer’s recommendation. The new design model is equipped with 1 set of emergency T-paddles, 3 aluminum bench seats, soft carrying handles, a full grommet strip around the top and edges of the boat.
