Classic Skiff

The RO Skiff is designed for anglers who want simplicity, stability, and shallow-draft performance wrapped into one clean, modern platform. With a low profile, wide stance, and refined hull shape, the Skiff is built to keep you focused on fishing — not fighting wind, depth, or awkward layouts.

Lightweight, quiet on the water, and incredibly maneuverable, the RO Skiff is the ideal boat for technical tailwaters, gentle floats, and lakes where stealth and precision matter. Whether you’re hunting heads during a hatch, guiding clients through glassy side channels, or exploring new water on a calm evening, the RO Skiff delivers effortless performance every time.

Constructed using RO’s advanced composite layup — fiberglass, Kevlar, Innegra, and strategic carbon fiber reinforcement — the Skiff combines strength and durability with a remarkably low weight. It’s purpose-built for the anglers who love to fish shallow, fish quiet, and fish often.

Performance on the Water

  • Ultra-Shallow Draft – Floats in as little as three inches of water, opening access to technical seams, soft edges, and skinny side channels.
  • Low Profile & Wind Friendly – Reduced side height cuts wind and keeps the Skiff steady and predictable on breezy afternoons.
  • Stable & Quiet – The wide, flat platform provides outstanding stability for casting while reducing hull noise in calm water.

Made for the Way You Fish

For Guides & Tailwater Specialists

Tailwaters, spring creeks, and calm rivers are where the Skiff shines.

  • Quiet approach for spooky, pressured fish
  • Easy access for clients stepping in and out
  • Low-maintenance layout with intuitive gear organization

It’s one of the most guide-friendly boats ever built for technical fisheries.
