We believe the 2023 13' Saturn Triton Whitewater Kayak is the most advanced inflatable kayak available today, thanks to its cutting-edge technology, dropstitch floor, self-bailing capability, and upgraded construction materials.Our new Triton construction techniques produce stronger and more durable seams than ever before. These heat-welded seams result in a sleek and visually appealing design that is both rugged and sturdy.

Our kayak also comes with an upgraded PVC dropstitch floor, providing the most rigid inflatable kayak floor on the market at over 10 PSI. The floor is covered with an extra 1.2mm PVC layer, providing unparalleled protection against rocks and other obstacles.

But that's not all, our newest 2023 model inflatable whitewater kayak includes upgraded Leafield D7 inflation valves, additional D-rings for added seating positions, and extra inflatable floor protection, ensuring that you have everything you need for a comfortable and safe paddling experience.

Rated for commercial use, our 13' Saturn Triton Whitewater Kayak is ready for Class IV and larger rapids anywhere on the globe. The 13' length and 6” high-pressure inflatable air deck floor provide the perfect combination to accommodate 2 adults. With its highly rugged and sturdy construction, it rivals the performance of a hard-shelled kayak while providing the added convenience of being portable and easily stored.

Our Saturn Triton Whitewater Kayak is perfect for experienced whitewater paddlers or beginners looking for a high-quality, low-cost, self-bailing inflatable kayak. Whether you're taking it hiking, traveling, or camping, this kayak is versatile, convenient, and fun.

Our kayak is made with heavy-duty 1100 Heytex PVC with an extra 1.2mm PVC layer covering the entire bottom surface area. The floor is made of a 6" thick high-pressure air deck that is extremely rigid when inflated, but can be rolled up when deflated. The 13' Saturn Triton Whitewater Kayak comes with multiple pre-installed heavy-duty D-rings to easily accommodate different seating positions for the highback kayak seats and give you greater flexibility when paddling with 1-2 passengers.

This design is a must for river conditions and also provides much greater capacity. Our Expedition kayaks have a 2" thick floor without the holes in the bottom for self-bailing. If you're going to be taking on water during your use, you'll need the self-bailing feature of the Saturn Triton whitewater kayak.

And with our additional included accessories, valued at $400, you'll be ready to hit the rapids in no time. Our package includes 2 double-sided kayak paddles, 2 highback kayak seats, 2 removable bottom fins, a repair kit, and a carry bag.

I am late in writing to you, but wanted to say thanks for the Bomber IK.  Our family has 2 of them now plus a 15' Whitewater Raft (pictured in your 2011 Photo Contest Winning Photo).. my brother-in-law.  We love our boats and have had numerous epic trips (Wild Scenic Rogue, various runs on the American, etc.).  The attached photos are from a recent run on the American River (Satan's Cesspool in the Gorge).  Thanks again for the quality boats...Brian

Just got off the south fork of the Boise River with my son. It was his first adventure on that river and we decided to take the 13’ Saturn Whitewater Kayak. What a great float with amazing scenery and good fishing. We definitely needed the self bailing of the whitewater kayak and also the extra rugged material. The river flows were quite low and we tagged many rocks on the float. The kayak was so stable and the inflatable floor was absolutely amazing when inflated it to 8 psi. I love this kayak.

Please find attached some photos of my family enjoying Saturn inflatable kayaks on the Grande Ronde in NE Oregon - we ran parts of it almost every weekend last Summer!

We just bought this kayak and we are obsessed! We live in Laguna Beach, but frequently travel to Oregon, so we wanted something we could take in the ocean and on the river and this was the perfect choice. We have been having fun taking it out in Laguna and in the Dana Point Harbor, can't wait to take it down the river in Oregon!
Here is a video of us using it for the first time https://youtu.be/lsm3JuERXqg

Several years ago I purchased an inflatable whitewater kayak (WK396). I have never experienced any issues with this kayak and it continues to exceed our expectations.

The reason I am contacting you is that when I purchased this kayak, I ordered it with the deluxe high-back seats. These have been fantastic, but the raft never came with thwarts.

I would like to know if thwarts for this kayak are able to be purchased separately? I would like two, but if only one is available that would also work.

Please let me know if this is a possibility.

I would just like to say again, it is a fantastic kayak. You guys produce a great product.

Best Regards, Matt

I have not personally bought one of these yet, I have used them for many summers with a commercial company. Used largely on the Deschutes river, from flat water to class IV. I'm impressed with the quality and durablity of the material. As you can emagine with a commercial outfitter, they get a lot of ware but they have held up for many years. I found them them to be great for day use as well as multi day trips. I would recommend the high back WW seats as the IK is easier to maneuver while sitting with a low profile.

Great IK but it needs more "Upsweep" on the front and back! I like the optional seats and the floor! Overall a good boat but with a bit more upsweep for whitewater it would be a great boat!

We purchased two of these kayaks in June of 2016. We love them!! I highly recommend upgrading from the included thwarts to the high-back kayak seats. These kayaks are very comfortable. We have already been on numerous 4 to 5 hour adventures and nobody has ever complained about being uncomfortable or sore. These are "white water kayaks" that do NOT have rudders on the bottom. It can be a challenge to keep it going in a straight direction on a lake or in the ocean. They are very stable in the water! We haven't flipped one yet. My fifteen year old daughter was able to climb back in without capsizing it after swimming.

Running river canyons is essentially about riding that liquid filament, but for us it also means fishing and chukar hunting, camping, hiking and rock hounding, living off what we can catch or shoot, and playing call shot disc golf on a sagebrush flat after dinner.

These are inevitably fall trips for us; bird season doesn’t start until October. The scorching heat of high summer has moderated, but Indian summer weather is still the norm. As for the water, there is less of it, and the choice of boat to haul you and your swag through a boney crack in the earth can be decisive. Nowhere have I found this to be more so than the Owyhee. If you come from a rafting, river safari background, it’s a tough downsize. But self-supported with massive agendas in 100cfs through forty miles of rock garden means only one thing: IK. Just about the biggest, baddest one you can find. I once paddled a 20’ IK for two months out around the northwest tip of Vancouver Island but when we tried it on the Owyhee, it was like a Popsicle stick in a pinball machine—too many rocks and tight corners to maneuver a long boat through. It would be tempting to go pack raft or smaller, nimble IKs if we wanted to eat light and forget the ancillary interests. In the end we found that doubles are the best match, and Saturn’s 13’ White-water model, the very best of the bunch (and we tried many different brands). Pop out the extra seat and you’ve got sufficient room to pile the swag, while remaining small and nimble enough to negotiate the runs, to line and walk, even portage, when necessary. I especially like the extra roominess of the Saturn boat, and talk about bomber!
Footnote to dialing in the right boat for the Owyhee, we liked the results so much we picked up another Saturn duckie. We packed their Fishing Kayak into Ross Lake for a fly fishing magazine project, slipped in the removable skeg, paddled our over the deep blue water and caught the hell out of the local bows and dollies!

Took the 13'WW kayak out on Lake Mead last night with a 20 mph south wind and it swims great through wind chop,self bailing perfectly. Great boat.
