2026 Mako 18 Pro Skiff

The 2026 Mako 18 Pro Skiff is a flats boat built for shallow-water performance and silent operation. Its fiberglass hull features an advanced design with lightweight flotation foam that dampens noise, allowing anglers to move through skinny water without spooking fish. The ultra-shallow draft and wide 7.83-foot beam deliver exceptional stability for poling, casting, and navigating tight inshore zones.

The hull incorporates a Rapid Planing System transom that provides enhanced rear lift for quicker takeoffs in shallow conditions. The boat measures 18.5 feet overall and is powered by a single 150 hp Mercury Marine engine. Edge-to-edge stability is maintained throughout the hull, whether at rest or under way.

The open layout includes six vertical rod holders for easy access to fishing gear, with storage beneath the front deck for organized stowage. Trim tab provisions and optional poling platform add versatility to the design. The boat comes equipped with a fully galvanized trailer featuring a swing-away tongue for convenient launching and storage.
