Saturn Kaboat Review: The Case For A Small Inflatable Boat

Chris and Elisabeth do a 6-month review of their 14' Saturn Kaboat (SK430) in Guam. From beach hopping and spearfishing to winding through small island rivers, this boat has held up to some of the challenges faced on this small dot in the Pacific Ocean.

I'm running in fresh water here in Tenneessee hope to get it on the ocean one day. Nice video you guys and happy belated birthday. Safe boating to y'all.

    Thanks for the review. I fish when the temperature is down in the teens. Getting wet would really suck. I thought about getting 1 cuz it's lighter than my 12 ft inflatable catamaran. But I don't get wet on Rough days so I guess I'm stick lifting 110lb every time I go fishing.

    Boating for several hours on the rough ocean in our tropical climate became miserable at times because we were constantly getting splashed in the face. Can’t imagine the same at cold temperatures! Definitely better suited for calmer waters. Not sure if the wider Saturn rafts would do any better?

The Saturn inflatables are offered on other retailer websites like boatstogo.com, but we aren't sure if they ship to Europe. Sorry we couldn't be more help! Hopefully you can find something similar and get on the water soon 🍻

    First of all an excellent review. You guys are a great couple. I remember being young in those days! We are an older couple with an RV. We have the 15' model (sk470 about $690.00). Blowing it up manually does get tiring especially for us older folks. So what we use is a battery operated Dewalt portable vacuum to blow it up. We use it not only in inflate but also deflate it. You still need the manual pump that the boat comes with to get the pressure higher to finish. Again being older we found a foot pump that will get the pressure up higher and is easier to use. We have used our boat in lakes and rivers. We purchased a Intex 40 pound trolling motor for $129.00 on Amazon that included a built in extension handle. We do not use the benches that came with the boat, Instead we purchased swivel boat seats at Walmart and built chair stands out of Large PVC pipe. With that set up I can set the chair so that my back is touching the end of the motor handle and steer it (mostly strait minor turns). We also purchased wheels for easier launching. However we changed out the thicker wheels (those red ones) for lawn mower wheels so that they would be able to tilt up and could be used with the motor. If any one would like to see the set up we have including the US Coast Guard approved mini life jackets, how we store it in our motorhome, here is the short video: Just jump to the five minute mark to see the set up. Here is the link: kzread.info/dash/bejne/Zquqza-Oe8ael9o.html.

    Håfa adai! We shipped to family in the states . Then they shipped it to us via USPS. We picked this boat because it comes in under 70lbs and is much cheaper to ship under that weight with USPS. Our family took the oars and seats and pump that come included so that it stayed as light as possible. They then shipped the accessories separately.

    The Jones Act really limits any shipping from foreign countries to U.S. territories. But using a forwarding shipping service would most likely work, like Alibaba. It depends on the company from which you're ordering and the forwarding freight company. For us, it was just easier to exclude more middle men and use family stateside and FedEx.

    J Roger not sure on that boat. We looked at it but it’s double the weight of the kaboat which put it out of the running for us. That jump in weight for us would have killed us in shipping but may not be that big of a deal where you live. That extra weight and width should make it plenty stable though.
