Description

2026 Mako 18 Pro Skiff
Overview
The all-new MAKO® 18 Pro Skiff is built for anglers who demand stealth, stability, and peak performance in shallow water. Its advanced hull design is packed with lightweight flotation foam that insulates sound, allowing you to move silently through skinny water. With an ultra-shallow draft and a wide beam, the 18 Pro Skiff offers exceptional stability—ideal for poling, casting flies, or navigating tight inshore zones with confidence.

Thanks to the Rapid Planing System™ transom, the skiff delivers enhanced rear lift for quicker, smoother takeoffs in shallow conditions. From bow to stern, the boat is rock-solid, providing edge-to-edge stability that makes fishing more comfortable and efficient. Six vertical rod holders keep your gear within reach, while additional storage under the front deck ensures everything stays organized. Trim tab provisions and an optional poling platform add versatility, making this skiff a serious inshore threat.

Every 18 Pro Skiff comes paired with a custom-fit, fully galvanized trailer designed for long-lasting corrosion resistance. The swing-away tongue adds convenience and expands your storage options. Whether you’re launching at sunrise or trailering home at sunset, this setup is built for durability and ease.

The new MAKO 18 Pro Skiff isn’t just a boat—it’s your edge inshore. Ready to fish. Ready to perform. Ready to dominate.
