Living the Skiff Life is a WAY OF LIFE. Our most precious resource is our time and how we spend it. We fish hard, we play hard, we simply love inshore & nearshore fishing & boating. Skiff Life is for those of us who when not on the water are thinking about how QUICKLY we can get back on it. With our over 200,000 members actively involved in The Skiff Life, our lifestyle is an enjoyable and popular one.
Choosing to spend your time with friends and family on the water is quality time well-spent. Regardless if it’s towing a tube or some other watersport or scuba diving/snorkeling in the Florida Keys on the hunt for lobster, there is a Skiff out there for you. Today’s skiff builders continue to listen to loyal Skiff owners and evolve their products to meet the needs to handle The Skiff Life.
Here are a few builders you’ll want to check out in order to get started.
Step 1. The Beginner Skiff Life or Budget Skiff Life owner.
Easy to own and operate while remaining incredibly affordable, the K-16 is a legendary Sundance model that sets the standard for the Carolina Skiff style of flat bottom boats. There are many that have tried to duplicate the flat bottom found on a Carolina Skiff style of boat but Sundance stands at the top of this category with quality and value.
Measuring 15′-9″ feet, the Sundance K-16 is ready skinny water but also more that capable of inshore coastal fishing and lake runs. Our classic hull has satisfied thousands and thousands of owners over our history and run well with a smaller, more fuel efficient outboard in the 40 to 50 horsepower range. Also lightweight at just 680 pounds and fuel efficient, the K-16 can easily fill multiple roles as a fisher or small work vessel. This boat is remarkably stable under heavy loads and is great for the family or cruises on lakes or inshore lagoons.
