Sakura Float Tube Expedition 170 – Khaki

Sakura Float Tube Expedition 170 Khaki

The Ultimate Mother Ship of Float Tubes for the Serious Predator Angler

If the Fat Boy is the street fighter, the Sakura Expedition 170 is the long-range cruiser. This is the flagship of the Sakura range, designed for anglers who refuse to leave anything behind. With a massive 170cm footprint and a reinforced Drop Stitch inflatable floor, this tube offers a level of stability and buoyancy that feels closer to a small boat than a traditional float tube.

Built using welded tubeless PVC technology, the Expedition 170 is designed to handle the rigours of big-water angling. The inclusion of an inflatable floor doesnt just add safety; it raises your entire center of gravity, significantly reducing drag and allowing you to glide across the water with minimal effortperfect for covering large distances on expansive reservoirs or tidal rivers.

Pro-Grade Features & Hardware

• Full Tech Integration: Unlike most tubes, the Expedition comes ready-out-the-box for electronics. It includes a dedicated fish finder mount and a motor mount, allowing you to turn this into a fully powered scouting craft.

• Rigid Drop Stitch Floor: The high-pressure floor creates a flat, rigid base. This improves hydrodynamics and provides an extra layer of puncture-resistant safety between you and the deep.

• Maximum Organization: With two oversized side bags, a rear mesh storage area for crates or dry bags, and integrated rod holders, you can carry multiple setups and enough tackle for a full days expedition.

• Superior Comfort: The high-pressure seat with EVA padding ensures you stay dry and maintain a commanding view of the water, which is essential for spotting following fish or reading weed lines.
