The Skiffs

The Skiffs Our fleet of custom skiffs have all been built by Greg to his exacting standard. No aluminum 'dinghies' with a bit of PVC pipe screwed to the side as a rod holder and an after market swivel seat and calling it a "custom" sport fisher. All our skiffs are custom built fiberglass, designed after the Florida Keys style flats boats. Powered by late model 30 and 40 hp outboards, super stable, shoal draft with large casting decks and no hook ups for fly fishing! There are 7 of these skiffs and only ever 2 anglers in each. Guides take 2 anglers at a time driving the skiff and rowing "Mackenzie" boat style, standing in the middle of a skiff with an angler on the fore and another on the aft casting decks.

Whether casting at the snags or drifting down on tailing Permit, our guidance and experience will position you in relation to the fish, so you can get on with the job of having FUN. Other skiffs are self drive.

The Skiffs Armed with a map and local knowledge, you will be off doing your own thing in the user friendly, safe inshore estuaries and river systems the Cape has to offer. Believe me, choosing a spot, looking at the current and tide, selecting a lure or fly and catching that trophy fish is much more rewarding than a guide saying, "tie this on and cast there". If you have the stamina, you are free to fish from dawn, till after dusk, 15 hours, times 6 days......Good luck!!!!
