7'6" Saturn Boat / Dinghy Tender

7'6" SATURN SATURN SD230 inflatable boat is one of the smallest dinghies available with a drop stitch high-pressure inflatable air floor and is perfect as as a small tender for yacht or sailboat to carry 2-3 people ashore. The Saturn SD230 can also be used as a small single-person fishing boat on your local lake. The 7'6" Saturn Boat is great for rowing and moves even faster than most kayaks.

The Saturn SD230 inflatable boat comes standard with our high-pressure drop stitch air deck floor which is rated to take over 8 psi of air pressure. It is extremely rigid even compared to a hard deck floor but much lighter and more compact when deflated. This makes it much easier to assemble and disassemble the boat by simply unrolling it and inflating with the included hand pump. To deflate the boat, simply open all the air valves and start rolling the boat from the transom, or quickly suck all air out with an electric pump.

The SD230 inflatable boat is lightweight, does not take much space, and can be carried by one person. This model of inflatable dinghy will take up to 2.5 HP short shaft outboard motor, and can carry up to 1-2 people comfortably or 3 people maximum. It is also great with a small electric trolling motor as an economical alternative.

The double layers of fabric at the bottom of the tubes and rub-strake protector along the keel provide extra protection from sharp rocks and abrasive sand. The safety valve will prevent excessive air pressure in the boats chambers.

The 7’6” Saturn inflatable boat is made with our standard 1,100 Dtex PVC with a high density polyester fabric. It has excellent resistance to tearing, tension, abrasion and puncture. The heavy-duty outer PVC layer helps protect against UV rays, ozone and abrasion while the inner layers provide additional strength and support. The double layers of fabric at the bottom of the tubes and rub-strake protector along the keel provide extra protection from sharp rocks and abrasive sand. The pressure relief valve will prevent excessive air pressure in the boats chambers.

New features further improve inflatable boats durability and practicality

Air valves have been moved toward the inside of boat's tubes and away
from direct exposure to the elements. This will allow easier inflation from
inside the boat and will minimize damage caused by sun and rain while the
boat is stored uncovered for prolonged periods of time. Rain water will not
accumulate inside the valves.
Triangular symmetrical splash guards were installed on the transom
corners to provide the sensitive transom of an uncovered boat with
additional protection and shade from the elements throughout extended
periods in Tropical environments.

It depends on what your goals are for this watercraft, but I find it very versatile. You can attach a motor, or just use oars to row. I have a lightweight motor that I use sometimes, and it is a lot of fun. You can really get it up to speed, and it feels like you are on a jet ski. However, sometimes I just like to row. It is very durable, and has provided hours of fun for me. My son is eager to go along, and I will take him with me soon. We will try out some new fishing spots that I have found while boating. It is small, but the perfect size for one to two people to enjoy. The fact that it is inflatable, gives you the ability to easily store the boat when not in use.

We used this on our last camp out trip with the boy scouts. The best thing was it allowed us to teach boat safety in relatively shallow water. We were able to put up to two boys in each boat after they had pumped up the boat with the hand pump. Even if they flipped over they could easily remove the boat from above their heads and climb back into the boat. It comes with everything we needed. A bag to carry it in, the hand pump and a repair kit. This turned out to be a bonus as we were able to show the boys what to do in case your boat sprung a leak.

I like to go diving, and I use this boat to get to my ideal location. It is easy to maneuver, and very light weight. For me, the ropes around the side are a perfect solution, as I come up from my dive and need to get back into the boat.

I use it often, and I am happy with the quality material it is constructed with. A couple friends commented the other day on how versatile the boat is. You could literally use it for any water related activities.

This small boat is excellent for my fishing weekends. It has big enough for a single person and I enjoy spending hours inside it.
The design of this dinghy helps it move fast and be easy to control. It is excellent for rowing since you do not need much effort to move this light boat. I needed a small boat for fishing and having time on my own, so this one is a great choice for me. It gives me enough space and has a great performance.

What a nice boat, I was expecting something less quality at this low price, but this dinghy exceeded my expectation. Thanks for great boat!

I’ve been sailing since I was a little kid, and I’ve had my own sailboat since I can remember. But sometimes, depending on where I am, bringing it all the way to shore for a short time on land is a pain in the butt. I solved that problem by buying the Saturn SD230 inflatable boat to use as a dinghy. Problem solved!

This thing takes up like no space on my sailboat. I just store her deflated. When it’s time to use her, I just then pull her out, inflate her, and toss a little outboard right on the back of her. I’m on dry land in no time at all.
