2026 Carolina Skiff 26 Ultra Elite

The 2026 Carolina Skiff 26 Ultra Elite is a 26-foot bay boat built for recreational and professional use, accommodating up to 18 passengers. It performs in both inshore and offshore waters, with a 300 HP maximum engine rating, shallow draft, and a 78-gallon fuel tank. The hull employs 100% composite construction—molded fiberglass deck liner, fiberglass grid system, high-density fiber core foam transom, and premium gelcoat—designed for durability without wood rot.

Fishing is a primary design focus. Standard amenities include 16 rod holders, two deluxe two-tone fishing seats, a 20-gallon baitwell, and a 70-quart removable cooler. The boat features a full swim platform with a three-step telescoping ladder, molded-in storage compartments, and coaming pads throughout.

The console is flip-up fiberglass with a changing curtain, access door, and porta potti. Abundant seating and comfortable layout throughout support both family cruising and charter operations. The design balances open fishing space with practical conveniences for extended time on the water.
