The Egret 189 is the industry leader in flats boat design, construction techniques and materials.

One of the top fishing guides in Florida, operating out of Saint Augustine, Florida is Capt. Tommy Derringer, is the gentleman who runs this sweet, sweet Egret 189 with a 175 Yamaha SHO. Capt. Tommy is a lifelong resident of St. Augustine and a full time charter fisherman around the St. Augustine, Palm Coast and Flagler beach areas. Tommy is also an avid tournament fisherman and has competed for the last ten years in the ESPN Redfish Cup, FLW Redfish Tour, and IFA Redfish Tours. It’s safe to say he knows a thing or two about what is needed in a skiff to fish successfully.

What can I say… this is my third Egret and I couldn’t be happier… this boat does it all for me and more! I pole it in the shallows first thing in the morning then run it off the beach or nearshore once the sun comes up… it’s really a do-it-all boat. The boat is rigged for comfort and fishability. It’s really the most comfortable boat to ride in… you have to experience it yourself. It literally rides softer than most bay boats. The dual power poles make life so easy and the Humminbird unit with side imaging is awesome. The Yamaha 175 SHO is quiet and quick and just looks badass! If you’ve never seen an Egret up close you’ve got to check it out. You won’t believe how good the rigging and construction are. It’s definitely a work of art. I’m lovin it!

The Egret 189 is as much as 350 lbs. lighter and stronger than similar size skiffs and the hull, deck and interior liner of the Egret optimize the properties of various foam core materials. Each core application is engineered to perform a specific function. A dense centerline core prevents the boat from point loading on the trailer rollers. A more resilient core material is used in the hull outboard of the centerline. This core, combined with vinylester resins inherent flexibility, creates an extremely resilient structure while reducing hull noise to an absolute minimum. The deck laminate utilizes another light, but stiff foam core to further assist in the reduction of weight demanded by the Egret design team. And finally, a very dense core is utilized in the transom where the motor mounts create high compression loads

SPEED, STEALTH AND STABILITY COMBINED IN ONE FLATS BOAT
Capt. Tommy Derringer says:
A quiet and powerful Yamaha outboard will get us to our spot and fishing in no time at all. My boat is also equipped with a MinnKota Trolling motor, Humminbird GPS/ Sounder, and a dual Power Pole shallow water anchor system. Whether we are polling in on a school of fish or trolling a bank in a backcountry creek the Egret is hands down the best tool for the job. The Egret 18.9 is truly a fisherman’s dream boat!
