The Sea Eagle FishSkiff 16 gives you a 16 ft fishing platform that rolls up and fits in a car boot.

No trailer, no ramp fees, no winter storage bill. This package adds two 360-degree swivel seat fishing rigs with Scotty rod holders, a SUP paddle, and a sun and rain canopy.

Product Highlights
Patented External Inflatable Keel
The 6" deep high-pressure keel adds bow lift and buoyancy while reducing friction and draft. It softens the ride in chop, improves handling in following seas, and forms a fourth independent air chamber.
Fusion Drop-Stitch Construction
Double-layer 1000 denier reinforced drop-stitch is fusion welded rather than glued at the core, which makes the hull stronger and easier to fold. Inflated to 15 psi it behaves like a rigid hull.
Roll Up and Stow
With no frame, the skiff packs to roughly 60" x 24" x 12" and travels in the back of most cars. That means no trailer, no ramp queue, and access to launches a rigid boat cannot reach.
Built Around Fishing
Drafting as little as six inches lets you work skinny water and get to fish that stay out of reach of deeper hulls. The self-bailing floor keeps the deck clear while you concentrate on the line.
Swivel Seat Canopy Package
Two 360-degree swivel seat fishing rigs let you turn and cast in any direction without repositioning the boat, each with a universal Scotty rod holder. A canopy and SUP paddle round out the package.
Motor Ready
The transom takes a 10 hp short-shaft gas engine, and the bow accepts a 55 lb thrust electric motor. Expect up to 21.5 mph solo, or 12 to 18 mph with two or three aboard.

- Remote trips where the boat travels in the car, not behind it
- Long days out where shade and swivel seating make the difference
Important Information
- Everyone on board should wear a properly fitted personal flotation device.
- Inflate all four chambers to 15 psi using a suitable high-pressure pump and gauge. Do not over-inflate, and release pressure if the boat sits in strong sun or heat.
- Do not exceed 3 persons or 1765 lbs total, and keep the load evenly distributed.
- Stay within the stated motor limits: 10 hp and 100 lbs at the stern with a 15" short shaft, or 55 lb thrust and 55 lbs at the bow with a minimum 36" shaft.
- A motorised boat of this size usually requires registration, and may require numbering, navigation lights, and specific onboard safety equipment. Requirements vary by state and waterway, so check before your first launch.
- Inspect all four chambers, valves, seams, the keel guard, and the transom before every outing, and carry a repair kit.
- Check the forecast and match your route to conditions and experience. Avoid offshore winds and rough water beyond your comfort, and tell someone your plans.
- Rinse with fresh water after use, especially in salt water, and dry fully before rolling. Store out of prolonged direct sunlight and away from heat.

The skiff is rated for three people or 1765 lbs in total. This particular package is outfitted with two swivel seat fishing rigs.
What is included in this package?
Two 360-degree swivel seat fishing rigs with universal Scotty rod holders, a SUP paddle, and a sun and rain canopy, alongside the boat itself.
Do I need a trailer?
No. The skiff has no frame, rolls up to roughly 60" x 24" x 12", and fits in the back of most cars, so you can launch anywhere you can carry it.
What motor can I fit?
Up to a 10 hp short-shaft gas engine at the stern, with a 100 lbs maximum weight and 15" shaft, or a 55 lb thrust electric motor at the bow with a minimum 36" shaft.
How fast will it go?
Up to about 21.5 mph with one person aboard, and 12 to 18 mph with two or three, depending on load and motor.
How shallow can it run?
It drafts as little as six inches, which opens up flats and backwaters that deeper rigid hulls cannot reach.
How long does setup take?
Around 12 minutes using a Mega Electric Turbo Pump, bringing all four chambers to 15 psi.
What is the hull made of?
Double layer 1000 denier reinforced drop stitch, fusion welded for strength, with welded quadruple-overlapped glued seams.
Does it need to be registered?
A motorised boat of this size usually does. Registration, numbering, lights, and required safety equipment vary by state and waterway, so check your local rules before launching.
What does the external keel do?
It adds bow lift and buoyancy, reduces friction and draft, cushions the ride in chop, improves handling in following seas, and serves as a fourth independent air chamber.
A fishing boat that lives in your boot rather than a storage yard changes how often you get out. If that is the trade you have been weighing up, the FishSkiff 16 canopy package arrives rigged and ready. Add it to your cart when you are set.
