Product Description

Our SATURN Kaboats are taking the nation by storm! This patent pending combination of a dinghy and kayak has found its nich in the market and is a perfect fit for someone looking for the most adaptable and portable inflatable boat on the market. This versatile kayak/boat crossover can be used like our SATURN inflatable kayak by rowing/paddling or can be turned into a speedboat by attaching a small gas or electric engine to the plywood transom at the stern. Aluminum seats and an incredibly stable design make it a great fishing vessel. The compact size makes it the perfect choice for a dinghy for a yacht or sailboat. The SATURN KaBoat is capable of transporting heavier cargo and offers a more stable design than that of a traditional kayak. The narrow profile allows for much less drag and allows it to outperform most traditional dinghy's with similar engine sizes. The 14' Saturn Kaboat can take up to a 10 HP gas outboard engine if you really want to fly and if you're looking for maximum portability just purchase an electric motor! If the battery loses charge or the gas is low, you can use the rowing oars to paddle to your destination. A small outboard works great and you don't need anything larger than a 6 HP. With a 3.5 HP engine, this boat will fly at up to 15-20 mph with 2 people. With an electric motor you'll be able to travel at speeds of around 5-7 mph. An electric motor at minimum speed will run for up to 6 hours. Additional Features: Same heavy-duty 1100 Denier PVC as in SATURN inflatable boats. Wide beam hull design for stability. Front Spray Skirt with water deflector guard and rope lacing. Marine grade plywood transom with a one way drain plug. High-pressure inflatable air deck floor. 4 fins for improved tracking. 1 set of rowing oars with oar locks. 3 aluminum removable benches. Included: hand pump, repair kit, 2 oars and carry bag.

I love KaBoat
By Eliot
I have a 14' kaboat and wanted to tell you how much I like it and some of the modifications I've made. It packs an unpacks very easily in the carry bag, it's a one-person operation from start to finish. While I'm putting on my dive gear, I have the boat hooked up to an electric pump and by the time I'm done dressing, I only have to top it up with the hand pump. Deflating is even faster, just open the valves and roll from the transom to the bow, it's all wrapped up in a couple minutes. I bought an old Evinrude Light Twin 4hp engine for $100, and with just me aboard it'll plane at about 15mph. With two people the performance drops to 6.5mph, but this is two big guys with wetsuits, weight belts, etc. I put the gas tank under the bow cover and run a long fuel line back. I don't often use the seats that came with the boat. The rear seat is too close to the engine and the middle seat is too far, so I just sit on the tubes. I have a 42 qt cooler I use in the middle of the boat, it's pinched gently in place by the tubes and stays in place. I use the cooler for storage and it makes a convenient middle seat for a passenger. I can move the cooler where I want to better balance the boat. One thing I've modified is to use a 2-piece marine plywood floor, I laminated the bow section so it follows the same curvature as the boat. The floor is very solid under foot, distributes the load better along the full length of the boat, makes the boat more stable, and improves handling. Thanks for a great product!

perfect boat for specific purposes
By Jeff Stebbins
Purchased the 15' version after much research--excellent quality for $$. Very easy to set up and take down, even with just the hand pump. Weighs a hefty 80+ lbs in storage bag. We use it with a 30 lb. thrust trolling motor (and deep cycle marine battery under rear seat). It's great for quietly cruising around lakes to camp & fish. Because the boat is so narrow (like canoe or kayak), the oars + oarlocks are virtually useless--I constantly bang my knees with oar handles. I'll use a kayak paddle instead. We don't use the middle seat, but put my long legs, fishing gear, etc. between us (when my wife sits up front). Sitting on the floor, with a flotation cushion as a backrest against aluminum seat, is VERY comfortable. Haven't had it out in a stiff wind, and don't intend to...

Great Product Terrible Service
By Roman
I love the products from boatstogo as far as quality and durability is concerned. However, they have the worst customer service I have ever experienced and do not let you contact customer service. You have to EMAIL them! They would sell a lot more if they knew how to work with people. Very difficult to contact as well.
