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

Bay / Flats / Skiff Boats Frequently Asked Questions

What is a bay, flats, or skiff boat?

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

Typical bay boats, flats boats, and skiffs range from 12 to 26 ft in length, with drafts often as shallow as 6–14 inches—allowing anglers to glide across shallow flats and oyster beds without grounding.

Their shallow draft, stability, and specialized fishing features make flats boats and skiffs extremely popular among anglers targeting species like redfish and trout in shallow coastal waters.

Prices vary widely—from under $3,500 for basic used skiffs to $200,000+ for premium flats boats. Many listings fall between $10,000 and $60,000 on Boatcrazy.

Most bay boats, flats boats, and skiffs use lightweight outboard engines ranging from 20 HP to over 150 HP, depending on boat size and intended fishing conditions.

Flats boats and skiffs have much shallower drafts and are designed for stealth fishing in skinny water, while center console boats are typically larger and better suited for offshore fishing and rougher water.
