In 1989 Craig Johnson set out to create a new kind of flats skiff. The shallow water anglers of Southwest Florida needed a different kind of boat to replace the heavy and unwieldy skiffs made with chopped glass, woven materials, and wood coring. Craig drew from his background in model design and manufacturing in the automotive industry, combined them with his love of boating, and the Piranha flats skiff was born. His goal was to create a strong yet lightweight skiff that could support a shallower draft and use smaller, lighter motors.
Our Piranha boats are still made the same way, combining Craig’s winning design with the newest and highest quality materials. We use a Nida Core Foam core instead of wood, bi-axial fiberglass, and high quality spec, low profile, polyester resins. Piranha Boat-works has always produced each boat one at a time, making our boats some of the most durable and well-made skiffs on the market. Our boats are hand-laminated and each boat is crafted to meet your specifications.
