2026 Mako 18 Pro Skiff

The 2026 Mako 18 Pro Skiff is a shallow-water flats boat designed for anglers fishing inshore zones. At 18 feet 6 inches with a 7-foot 10-inch beam, the hull combines an ultra-shallow draft with a wide platform for stability while poling, casting, or navigating tight waters. The fiberglass construction incorporates lightweight flotation foam throughout, which reduces noise transmission—a key advantage when moving quietly through skinny water. The hull's Rapid Planing System transom provides enhanced lift and smoother acceleration in shallow conditions.

The layout prioritizes functionality for fishing. Six vertical rod holders keep tackle organized and accessible, while storage compartments beneath the front deck provide additional space for gear. Trim tab provisions and an optional poling platform offer flexibility in how the boat is rigged and operated depending on fishing style and conditions.

Power comes from a single Mercury Marine 150 hp engine. The boat rides on a fully galvanized, custom-fit trailer with a swing-away tongue for ease of launching and storage.
