2026 Mako 18 Pro Skiff

The 2026 Mako 18 Pro Skiff is a shallow-water flats boat designed around stealth and stability. Its fiberglass hull incorporates lightweight foam flotation that dampens sound, enabling quiet movement through thin water. The advanced hull shape combines an ultra-shallow draft with a wide beam to deliver edge-to-edge stability whether poling, casting, or navigating confined inshore areas. The Rapid Planing System transom provides enhanced rear lift for quick, smooth acceleration in shallow conditions.

The boat's layout prioritizes fishing efficiency. Six vertical rod holders keep tackle accessible, and storage compartments under the forward deck manage gear and supplies. The design accommodates trim tab provisions and an optional poling platform for added versatility. A Mercury Marine 150 hp engine powers the boat, paired with a fully galvanized trailer fitted with a swing-away tongue for convenient launching, retrieval, and storage.

The 18 Pro Skiff comes equipped with a Riptide Terrova salt-water trolling motor and onboard charger for additional propulsion and station-holding capabilities in shallow water.
