Bay / Flats / Skiff Boats On Boatcrazy

Bay, flats, and skiff boats are purpose-built for shallow water fishing, offering the perfect combination of stealth, stability, and maneuverability. Designed to navigate skinny waters, tidal flats, and coastal bays, these boats allow anglers to get closer to the action—whether you're sight-casting to redfish on the flats or chasing snook along mangrove shorelines.

Bay Boats typically feature center consoles, higher freeboard, and the ability to handle light chop—making them great for both inshore and nearshore fishing.

Flats Boats are low-profile, shallow-draft vessels ideal for poling quietly through calm, skinny water.

Skiffs offer ultra-shallow draft and simplicity, often used for fly fishing and solo trips in tight, technical water.

Bay / Flats / Skiff Boats Frequently Asked Questions

What is a bay, flats, or skiff boat?

Bay boats, flats boats, and skiffs are shallow‑draft vessels designed for fishing in skinny water—estuaries, marshes, flats and shallow bays—often with flat or low-deadrise hulls to navigate just inches of water.

Typical lengths range from 12 to 26 ft, with drafts often as shallow as 6–14 inches—designed to glide over submerged flats and oyster beds without grounding.

Their low draft and stability, often paired with poling platforms, elevated casting decks, rod racks and livewells, make them ideal for targeting redfish, trout and other species on shallow flats.

Prices vary widely—from under $3,500 for basic used skiffs to $200,000+ for high-end new flats boats. Average listing prices fall between $10,000 and $60,000.

Most use lightweight outboard engines from 20 HP up to 150+ HP. Some models offer electric or hybrid setups, particularly for eco-sensitive shallow-water environments.

Flats/bay/skiff boats offer shallower draft, poling platforms, and better stealth in skinny water. Center consoles are deeper, offer faster rides, and are built for offshore use.
