The Hell's Bay Difference

The best part is they are all the best parts.

There’s a reason we have become the yardstick by which all other skiffs are measured. Roll over to explore the features that make up The World’s Finest Shallow Water Skiffs.

Take your favorite rod. And the rest of them too. Up to eight forward- and aft- facing integrated under-gunnel rod tubes available.*

Light and tough. Our Carbon Innegra construction results in a hull that is 20% lighter than a traditional fiberglass one, with the unique vibration dampening that Innegra brings. For you, this means a quiet and smooth ride, and an even stealthier operation.

A popular platform. Our custom-welded aluminum platforms are designed for maximum clearance and minimum profile. So you can be as tall as you want for once.

A cooler seat to sit on. Our integrated cooler console is just one of the many different configurations you can choose. The roomy insulated cooler, with a built-in drain, means you can carry more than a case of drinks, plus 20 lbs. of ice with room left over.

Pack light. Or don’t. We do everything to maximize every possible cubic inch of storage. This includes livewells rigged with dual pumps, high speed pickups and aerators.

Gutter-minded. Our dry, gasketed hatches all come with deep, self-draining gutters, keeping water out of your stuff in the nastiest conditions.

One-piece wonder. Our entire skiff is bonded and laminated. Nothing is through-bolted or screwed together, making the entire structure stronger, lighter and stiffer. We also don’t use drop-in liners for our inner structure, which means more space for storage and less overall weight. Prepared for power, our decks come ready to add a trolling motor, with phenolic reinforcement built-in. Your skiff is your skiff. Every skiff is made to order, so you determine the layout, the color and the equipment.

You’ll never see some of our best work. At Hell’s Bay, a skiff is not finished on the outside, until it’s finished on the inside. Every fillet, every compartment, every fitting is obsessed over until it’s just right.

No more digging in the rigging. Our obsessive attention to detail would please even the most OCD engineering expert. Because the way things are put together makes them work better, longer and with easier access and maintenance.

It might not be your first skiff. But it’s built to be your last.

A lot goes into our skiffs, so you can get a lifetime out of them.

Our Crew.

The most noticeable difference between any “skiff” and a Hell’s Bay Boatworks skiff is the attention to detail and craftsmanship that only those with years of obsessive experience can put into their passion. The craftsmen at Hell’s Bay Boatworks are a unique band of single-minded artisans, focused on building our skiffs to an unparalleled level of excellence.

Get skinnier.

Every Hell’s Bay skiff is optimized to be the most potent technical shallow-water tool it can be. We engineer every hull to minimize draft and poling effort, to get you into the places where those wading birds will be surprised to see you.

Little on the outside. Big on the inside.
