The Meaning of the Name
The name does not refer to the shape of these vessels. Instead, it refers to the waterways they explore: shallow water flats.
Flats boats, also known as skiffs, are built to have a shallow draft. Some models can even cruise around waterways that are as shallow as 12 inches. They can easily reach areas that other vessels cannot...and where many trophy fish may be lurking.
The Common Features
The exact specifications will depend on the given model, but flats boats tend to be between 15 and 25 feet long. They are usually light enough that they can be pushed forward with a pole. Most flats boats fit two or three people, so you can bring a fishing buddy (or two) along for the ride!
Many flats boats are built with a casting deck in the front and a poling deck in the rear. One passenger can push the boat forward while the other tries to catch "the big one".
