The RO Deville was engineered for anglers who want skiff-like ease and drift-boat power in one sleek package. With its modern profile and refined performance, it glides through shallow water, handles current with confidence, and lets you make the most of every float.
Built with RO’s signature composite construction—fiberglass, Kevlar, Innegra, and carbon fiber deployed in key stress zones—the Deville delivers a lightweight hull without sacrificing strength. At just ~300 lbs and capable of floating in as little as four inches of water, it opens up new possibilities on rivers where others can’t (or won’t).
Performance on the Water
- Skiff Feel, Drift-Boat Performance – Rows like a skiff, yet handles whitewater with the stability and control of a McKenzie style drift boat.
- Shallow-Water Advantage – A draft of approximately four inches means you can slip into skinny water and softer seams where fish hide.
- Effortless Control – Balanced geometry, refined rocker and chine profiles help you pivot cleanly and track true, whether you’re guiding or fishing solo.
Designed for Every Day on the River
For Guides & Outfitters
The Deville stands up to high-use environments with a hull that rows easier, drifts straighter, and endures longer. Dry boxes, rod holders, and optimized layouts mean you spend less time rearranging gear and more time fishing.
