For over three decades, Piranha Boatworks has been synonymous with innovation and quality in the world of shallow water skiffs.
Founded in 1989 by Craig Johnson, whose background blends model design from the automotive industry with a passion for boating, Piranha Boatworks offers a range of skiffs designed specifically for the shallow water angler's needs.
Piranha skiffs stand out for their light yet robust construction, making them the ideal choice for anglers seeking to explore the flats with ease. Veering away from traditional materials, Piranha employs Nida-Core foam and bi-axial fiberglass combined with specialized low-profile polyester resins, ensuring durability and high performance.
Based in Sanford, Florida, near the rich fisheries of the region, Piranha Boatworks provides a spectrum of skiffs suitable for any angler. The Alem F2000, hailed as the quintessential fishing platform, offers versatility for fly fishing and light casting. The pioneering Onda F1400, the ultimate microskiff, provides accessibility to various waters, serving as an excellent tender for larger vessels. For those seeking a quick launch, the Raso P140 is the ideal poling skiff boasting minimal draft requirements. The Casador B2200 appeals to those longing for extended trips, with a fuel-efficient design and ample capacity. For family-friendly outings or inshore expeditions, the Alvo F1700 provides space and adaptability, while the innovative Magro P180, designed by Chris Morejohn, represents the future of shallow water site fishing with its modern gear accommodation.
At Piranha Boatworks, every skiff is built one at a time, tailored to the angler's specifications, ensuring that each vessel is unique. Hand-laminated and assembled with precision, a Piranha boat doesn't just offer a trip on the water; it delivers an experience molded to the angler's desires.
