Pre-Owned Skiffs
Sometimes, our biggest competition is ourselves—because even a pre-owned Hell’s Bay flats skiff is still better than most boats out there. Built to last a lifetime… and then some!
These below are sold, but keep an eye out—like the ones above, we get them in stock from time to time!
WE ARE NOT A FACTORY, WE ARE A BOATWORKS:
* We have no assembly line.
* A boat doesn’t go into the mold until an owner has told us exactly how they would like it, and our craftsmen carefully bring it to reality at every step of the build process.
* Each one is custom built to a singular standard.
To be a Hell’s Bay skiff means to be handcrafted to tolerances unlike any other boat. It’s made for the long haul.

Hell’s Bay Console Caddy
The team over on Flats Nation posted a review of the Hell’s Bay Console Caddy and covered several features and benefits of this space saving product that we (like many over the years) have developed. You may enjoy reading over their review by clicking Here:

We also feel their final impression on our product was quite interesting…
“The Hell’s Bay Console Caddy is a thoughtful addition for skiff owners who value organization and efficiency. Its design reflects the quality and attention to detail which is synonymous with Hell’s Bay Boatworks. And while it may not be universally compatible with all/your boat model, for Hell’s Bay skiff owners, it’s a worthy investment to enhance your boating experience while saving on space and (now where are my keys again?) time simultaneously! Well, let’s just say it will, after you start using it…”

WE ARE NOT A FACTORY, WE ARE A BOATWORKS:
- We have no assembly line.
- A boat doesn’t go into the mold until an owner has told us exactly how they would like it, and our craftsmen carefully bring it to reality at every step of the build process.
- Each one is custom built to a singular standard.
To be a Hell’s Bay skiff means to be handcrafted to tolerances unlike any other boat. It’s made for the long haul, in fact, we are our own worst competition- A used Hell’s Bay skiff (if you can find one) is still a better boat than most.
WE DON’T TAKE ORDERS , WE HAVE CONVERSATIONS:
We start by sitting down and talking through the essentials—where you fish, who you fish with, and how you like to do it. Side or center console? Tiller? Fly or bait? Every angler and guide have their preferences, and that’s exactly how we build them. Together, we design a boat that fits your style, your needs, and your waters. Then we craft a vessel that’s purpose-built for the way you fish.
