Where the river meets the flats

Gheenoe and Mid-Florida Skiffs, sold by people who fish them. Lake Monroe bass at first light, redfish tailing by ten.

From above at first light: a dark tannic river channel meets clear shallow flats, a lone skiff running the seam between them.

Why two lines

The right hull for the water you fish

Deep hulls don't work here. Central Florida is tannic lakes, spring runs, and grass flats that go inches deep. We carry two lines because they're the two that belong: Gheenoe for the fresh, Mid-Florida Skiffs for the salt. Both shallow. Both simple. Both built to fish.

The lineup

Four boats. No filler.

  • A long narrow Gheenoe hull with a small outboard resting on tannic water beside cypress trees at golden hour.

    Freshwater

    Gheenoe Classic 15'6"

    The one that does everything. A wider, harder-working Gheenoe that still draws inches.

    25 HP rated, 245 lb hull

  • A light Gheenoe 15'4" with a trolling motor staked in a crystal-clear spring run at dawn.

    Freshwater

    Gheenoe 15'4"

    The purist's Gheenoe. A 145-pound hull the Coast Guard calls a canoe.

    675 lb capacity, USCG canoe class

  • A compact 14-foot flat-bottom skiff on a clear saltwater flat at golden hour.

    Saltwater

    Mid-Florida Skiff 14S

    The honest skiff. Flat-bottom stability, composite bones, a ten-year hull warranty.

    3–6" draft, 30 HP rated

  • A 14-foot flats skiff with a forward casting deck and push pole staked off on clear shallow saltwater at golden hour.

    Saltwater

    Mid-Florida Skiff 14F

    The fishing package. Livewell, casting deck, lights — rigged from the factory.

    Livewell + casting deck, 3–6" draft

Freshwater

First light on Lake Monroe

Mist coming off the water, bass pushing bait in the pads, and a hull that slides over six inches like it isn't there. This is the fishing central Florida is built on. The right boat just gets you more of it.

Saltwater

Tails up on the flats

Push-pole quiet past the oyster bars, watching for that copper flash. When a redfish tips down in a foot of clear water, the boat that got you close matters as much as the cast.
