The Cayo 180MV is a masterclass in minimalist, high-performance skiff design. Built for the angler who needs to disappear into the skinniest water possible without sacrificing a smooth ride across the open bay, it bridges the gap between a technical poling skiff and a versatile flats boat.
Here is a breakdown of what makes the 180MV a standout in its class:
Core Specifications
Length: 18' 0"
Beam: 70"
Draft: 5" – 7" (depending on load and power)
Deadrise: Modified V-hull (MV) for improved chop handling.
Key Features
The "MV" Advantage: Unlike traditional flat-bottom skiffs that can be "tooth-rattlers" in a breeze, the Modified V-hull allows the 180MV to slice through light-to-moderate chop. This makes the run to the fishing grounds significantly more comfortable while maintaining an incredibly shallow draft.
Silent Stealth: Cayo is known for its vacuum-infused construction, which creates a rigid, lightweight, and—most importantly—quiet hull. There is minimal "hull slap," allowing you to creep up on wary bonefish or redfish without alerting them.
Customization-First: Cayo builds are highly bespoke. Whether you want a minimalist "tiller" setup for maximum deck space or a center console with custom seating and specialized livewells, the 180MV acts as a blank canvas for the serious flats enthusiast.
Poling Performance: Despite its length, the boat tracks straight and is surprisingly easy to push with a push pole. It stays planted in the wind better than many lighter carbon-fiber alternatives, offering a stable platform for the sight-caster.
*PRICE INCLUDES $5,000 FINANCE REBATE*
