The Dolphin 18 Tunnel is a purpose-built shallow-water skiff designed for anglers who want serious skinny-water capability without sacrificing ride quality or reliability. Whether you’re stalking tailing reds on the flats at sunrise or cruising the backcountry with friends in the afternoon, this boat delivers the efficiency, simplicity, and performance Dolphin is known for. Powered by a Yamaha F70LA with just 206 hours, this rig offers dependable power, excellent fuel economy, and quick access to your favorite fishing spots.
With a hull length of approximately 18 feet, the Dolphin 18 is easy to trailer, launch, and store, while still providing a stable platform for casting and sight fishing. The tunnel hull design allows the boat to run in minimal water, feed clean water to the prop, and improve hole shot and overall efficiency. Built with durability in mind, the hand-laid fiberglass construction, quality hardware, and clean layout make it a practical choice for both serious anglers and first-time skiff owners.
Every detail — from the elevated casting decks to the open cockpit — is focused on fishability, visibility, and ease of movement. At the helm or on the bow, this skiff adapts to your day on the water.
