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.
