The 8'6" SATURN SD260 inflatable boat is one of the smallest dinghies available with a high pressure air floor. A reliable tender is about the most important piece of equipment that a sailboat or yacht owner can purchase. The SD260 is great as a dinghy, tender, or sport boat and is the perfect size for smaller sailboats and yachts. Tough, durable, lightweight and stable the 8’6” Saturn Inflatable Boat is ideal for all types of lake activities including cruising, picnicking, fishing and sunbathing.
Our patented Saturn inflatable boats are lightweight and extremely portable. They don't take up much space when deflated which avoids the headache of a rigid hull boat and trailer. The 8'6" Saturn SD260 inflatable boat can take up to a 10 HP short shaft outboard motor and can carry up to 3 people. This boat can also be used as a lifesaving raft in case of an emergency.
The Saturn SD260 inflatable boat comes standard with our high-pressure drop stitch air deck floor. Our drop stitch floors can take up to 9 psi of air pressure making among the most rigid on the market today. It is incredibly sturdy and makes a perfect platform to stand and fish. Our air floors make our boats much lighter and more compact when deflated and they also make it much easier to assemble and disassemble. To deflate the boat, simply open all air valves and start rolling the boat from the transom, or quickly suck all air out with an electric pump.
The Saturn SD260 is excellent as a small rowing dinghy, perfect for reaching your sailboat or heading out for a day of fishing on the lake. Its’ size also makes it perfect for 2-3 passengers looking to get from point A to B and has been a HUGE hit with RV-ers looking for a reliable craft to use on both lakes and seas. This boat is lightweight and can easily be carried by a single person making it perfect for a picnic with your spouse or children.
