2025/2026 13' Saturn Triton Fishing Kayak (Green)

The boat technical specifications are nearly identical between the Triton model (TRFK396) and our standard version (FK396), with exception of the deeper raised bow design in the Triton model. These Triton series improvements incorporate the newest technologies in inflatable boat construction and provide an incredible value for those looking to put their kayak to the test.

Our 13' Saturn Fishing Kayak is easy to carry by a single person, inflates/deflates in under 5 minutes, stores in the included storage bag with rough dimensions of 45"x28"x12", and is the most versatile inflatable fishing kayak on the market today. This kayak is the Swiss Army Knife of inflatable fishing kayaks and to make it even better the newest version includes extra thicker black PVC bottom skin layer (over 70% thicker than our 0.9mm PVC tube material) which covers the bottom surface of the kayak and adds a second layer to protect the exterior tube chambers directly in contact with the surface of the water. 

This upgraded version also includes upgraded inflation valves to ensure durability and the maximum pressure rating in all chambers. These upgrades provide piece of mind knowing you have the highest quality / value ratio on the inflatable kayak market. This kayak is an absolute must for any RVer or camper where a fishing craft with maximum portability is critical. This is the kayak to own when you want to escape the pandemic and hit the water.

This kayak is made of the same heavy-duty 1100 Dtex PVC (Triton version upgrades include 1.2mm Italian Suijia PVC) as many of our other Saturn inflatable boats and the drop-stitch high-pressure airdeck floor is the most rigid inflatable floor on the inflatable kayak market. The floor is made to support up to 3 adults (even though that would be a tight squeeze). A double layer of PVC fabric is applied to the bottom and an extra layer has been added to the high contact areas of the top tubes supporting the aluminum bench seats. Our rigid high buoyancy tubes and customized floor make the Saturn TRFK396 kayak so stable, that you can stand up and fish if needed (see the photos of our customers doing just that). 13' Saturn Fishing Kayak (FK396 - Does Not Show the FK396X Upgrades)

The 13' Saturn Fishing Kayak comes with 2 removable aluminum benches that can be used for mounting various hardware, such as rod holders, GPS units, video cameras, dive flags, anchor mounts, and even a fish finder. Check out our customer photos and videos showing many of their innovative ideas! If you want even more space and the capability to comfortably accommodate 3 adults you might want to consider our stretched out 14' TRFK430 Fishing Kayak. What makes our inflatable fishing kayaks so unique, is the multitude of ways they can be used. You can sit directly on the aluminum benches to paddle using the included kayak paddle or you can remove the seats and install our custom high-back kayak seats for full back support. It is also possible to replace the rear aluminum bench with a longer version and add a vertical plate for an optional electric motor. 

The 13' Saturn TRFK396 fishing inflatable kayak is a breeze to paddle due to its narrow profile, high buoyancy exterior tubes, and rigid drop stitch floor. Please note that this kayak is not a self-bailer. It was designed for lakes, ponds, flatwater rivers, oceans and bays. If you are looking for a self-bailing kayak, no need to look any further than our 13' Saturn Whitewater Kayak. If you want this specific model and absolutely need it to be a self-bailing unit you can cut out 4-6 self bailing holes in the kayak bottom to let excess water escape. However, that option may allow water to entire above the kayak floor depending on the weight capacity and is really not advised because the repair time if you are unsatisfied is lengthy.

Customer Testimonials

"I am all the way in East Africa, and I am crazy about fishing. I bought the kayak via a mutual friend from the US after I saw his boat. Throughout my life I've had lots of deferent boats, but man this is a nice boat. I am using the boat in Kenya great lakes like Lake Victoria. I intend to use it also at the coast for fishing on the reefs." Marius, Kenya

"16 months ago I purchased three kayaks - 2 FK396 and 1 SK470. Soon thereafter they were put to use. My wife and I, several of our friends, and grandchildren have paddled the boats on the Great Lakes, inland lakes and rivers in Michigan, and the Intercostals as well as rivers on the Gulf Coast of Florida. I know we have 150+ miles and many hours of paddling the boats with no problems and lots of fun times.." 

"I wanted to write a quick letter describing my experience with the FK396 fishing inflatable kayak that I purchased last June. We have been using an inflatable kayak for the last four years. We purchased a Sea Eagle 330 to take with us in our fifth wheel trailer as we traveled full time around the country for approximately three years. Although the Sea Eagle did a satisfactory job most of the time, we found it wanting in several areas. I like to fish in everything from small rivers and ponds to large lakes and even inshore ocean bays. I was looking for a heavy duty inflatable that I could easily mount fishing accessories to and even possibly a trolling motor. My search took me to the website where I found just what I was looking for. I must admit I was  extremely skeptical when I saw the low price on what seemed to be a very high quality boat. I had seen similar boats advertised for at least twice the price but the specifications and the reviews I read convinced me to give the FK396 a try..."

The Saturn FK396 has become an essential part of my fishing trips. Its design is compact and easy to transport, making it perfect for RV trips. The kayak is made of durable 1100 Dtex PVC, similar to Saturn's inflatable boats and rafts.

I opted for the FK396 V2.0 model, which comes with gear tracks and patches for rod holders. The ability to modify the kayak's setup according to my needs is a game-changer. The FK396 is a superb fishing kayak that balances portability, durability, and versatility.

After owning the 13' Fishing Inflatable Kayaks FK396 for 3 years, I can confidently say it has exceeded my expectations. It's a reliable performer and easy to transport. Wish it had a seat, though. Overall good quality.

I purchased the FK396 V2.0 and I must admit, this fishing kayak has surpassed my expectations. Its portable design makes it a perfect fit for my RV trips, and it's so convenient to store. The limited-edition model, which I opted for, has gear tracks and fishing rod holder patches that are incredibly handy.

The build quality is top-notch - just like Saturn's inflatable boats and rafts. The high-pressure air deck floor is impressively rigid and secure. I love the fact that the kayak is so stable that I can stand up and fish! The multiple sets of D-rings for optional benches and the option for a DIY motor mount have added to my fishing expeditions. I'd recommend the FK396 to anyone who values quality and functionality in a fishing kayak.

The Saturn FK396 fishing inflatable kayak is a revelation in portable fishing gear. Its inflatable design makes it easy to store and transport, and the 1100 Dtex PVC construction speaks volumes about its durability. The air deck floor is surprisingly rigid when inflated, providing the stability needed to stand and fish.

The FK396 V2.0 model doesn't come with benches, but the included gear tracks and pre-installed patches for rod holders are a fantastic addition. It's versatile enough to be configured in many ways, from using it as a canoe to adding an optional motor mount. This kayak is worth every penny for its versatility and robust construction.

The FK396 is a brilliant inflatable kayak from Saturn. Its design is lightweight yet durable, making it an ideal choice for those needing a portable fishing solution. The high-quality 1100 Dtex PVC material is sturdy and the high-pressure air deck floor adds to the kayak's overall rigidity.

The FK396 V2.0's kayak gear tracks and fishing rod holder patches are great additions for anglers. The kayak's versatility is evident in the numerous configuration possibilities it offers. If you're an angler in need of a reliable, adaptable, and portable kayak, the FK396 is a great choice.

We recently purchased the Saturn fk396. I have been paddling a canoe for over 60 years and also raced marathon canoes and lived out of a canoe in British Columbia when I was younger. Our first voyage proved we made the right choice. We paddle this as a canoe and I kneel in the stern and this boat tracks amazingly well with or without the skeg. I love how stable it is and I am in the process of building a sailing rig for it. Three of my friends are going to order this model as they realize as I did that it is the best inflatable available for that price and is extremely stable and lightweight as well. I highly recommend this boat. We kept up with friends in solo kayaks and I have absolutely no complaints except I wish I had ordered an inflation gauge at the same time but ordered one separately to make sure I don't overinflate it in the Arizona sun.

The FK396 inflatable kayak has proven to be an excellent addition to my fishing gear. Its portable design is perfect for carrying around and storage. The kayak's construction, akin to Saturn's inflatable boats and rafts, is durable and reliable.

The FK396 V2.0 comes with gear tracks and pre-installed patches for rod holders instead of benches. Its adaptability is commendable, with the option to use it in multiple ways, from a canoe to a motorized kayak. I'm thoroughly impressed with the FK396's performance and flexibility.
