2026 Mako 18 Pro Skiff

The 2026 Mako 18 Pro Skiff is a fiberglass flats boat designed around shallow-water performance and fishing functionality. Built with lightweight flotation foam that reduces noise transmission, the hull enables quiet movement through skinny water. The advanced hull design features a Rapid Planing System transom that provides enhanced rear lift for quick, smooth acceleration in shallow conditions, while the ultra-shallow draft and wide beam combine to deliver stability across the platform.

Accommodations center on fishing efficiency. Six vertical rod holders keep tackle accessible, and storage beneath the front deck organizes gear. A poling platform option adds versatility for sight-fishing approaches, and trim tab provisions allow for additional performance tuning. The 18.5-foot length with a 7.83-foot beam creates a stable, edge-to-edge platform suitable for poling, casting, or navigating tight inshore zones.

Power comes from a single 175 hp Mercury Marine engine. The boat ships with a custom-fit, fully galvanized trailer featuring a swing-away tongue for convenient towing and expanded storage access.
