Mid‑Florida Marine

Sanford, Florida

Built for skinny water

Gheenoe and Salty Skiffs, sold by people who fish them. From Lake Monroe bass at first light to redfish tailing on the flats.

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, Salty Skiffs for the salt. Both shallow. Both simple. Both built to fish.

The lineup

Three boats. No filler.

  • A narrow shallow-draft Gheenoe-style skiff with a small outboard on tannic freshwater at golden hour.

    Gheenoe

    The central Florida original. A canoe hull that fishes water most boats can't touch.

    inches of draft, tiller outboard

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

    Saltwater

    Salty Skiffs 14S

    The flat-bottom workhorse. Stable, tough, and easy to own.

    shallow running, big casting room

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

    Saltwater

    Salty Skiffs 14F

    The flats package. A forward deck for the poling crowd.

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.

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.
