The skiff that started the sport reborn
The Hewes backcountry skiff was built and born for Florida Bay fishermen, by a Florida Bay fisherman, and that DNA has been in every boat built with the Hewes name since. These new Redfisher models have been redesigned to give flats fisherman, who need a quality product, all the features you appreciate to get on the backcountry waters, at an affordable price.
The 16' and 18' Redfisher offer great standard features such as recessed trim tabs, hydraulic steering, livewell, trolling motor wiring, premium thick cushion, plenty of dry storage, under gunnel rod storage, flat decks with walkable gunnels, console with rod rack and dash area for flush mount electronics. For those wanting personalization the boats are being offered with plenty of hull and deck color options, and optional features such as a cooler seat, removable backrest, release well, jack plate, recirculating pumps, Power-Pole's, poling platforms, and more. The boats have also had their weight redistributed for optimum performance, efficiency, and balance with modern four stroke power. These great new models are simply packed with features that represent a superb value to take you and the family out fishing in the beautiful backcountry shallows of the Florida Keys.
Caribee has our first 16' Redfisher with a reliable Yamaha 90 Four Stroke in stock for your viewing and purchase today, our first 18' is sold and delivered, but more are arriving in the near future for inventory. Come by Caribee today and see how we can get you on the water on a brand new skiff at a great price!
So give us a call at 305-664-3431 and ask Billy in Sales, or come by in person to get more information on these models.
Also, while we are talking about skiff's, take a few minutes to watch this video by Scott Deal (CEO of Maverick Boat Company, the maker of Hewes) compare and contrast a Flats Skiff to a Technical Poling Skiff.

New Brand: Sportsman Boats
|
Caribee Boat Sales is proud to welcome Sportsman Boats to our line-up of incredible Yamaha powered outboard craft for enjoying our Florida waters. Sportsman is a brand new company on the rise in the boating world, and while the name is new, the people behind it are anything but. The people behind Sportsman have decades of experience in the boating industry. They have been turning heads at boat shows this year, offering a quality product, with unique features, at extremely affordable prices. Presently they offer two models that will fit the needs of a Keys boater very satisfactorily.
The first is their Masters 227 Bay Boat. Bay boats have undoubtedly become a mainstay option for those wanting access to fish our diverse waters, the Florida Bay and Reef systems, in just one boat, and this 22 footer is suited for both. Sportsman is aiming for affordability, but not at the cost of building a no-frills, no-features product. The Masters 227 comes with great standard fishing features such as three livewells, a 72 gallon fuel capacity to give excellent range along with efficient four stroke Yamaha power, cast net storage that doubles as a step to the forward casting deck, lockable rod storage, trolling motor wiring, and pop-up cleats throughout. But Sportsman hasn't ignored the popular family aspects of today's Bay Boat either, with even more standard features such as plenty of drink holders and built in seating including a fold up rear bench seat. Convenience and quality construction haven't been left out either, as the rear bench seat removes to provide a massive real "total access hatch" to all bilge systems. Add to that the stainless rub rail, no-wood stringer system, and ten year hull warranty, and you will see Sportsman means business. Remember, those were just the standard features, the boat also has great options such as multiple T-top/Bimini options for sun protection, swim platforms, hull colors, and more. Caribee has our first Masters 227 Bay Boat by Sportsman in stock today for your viewing!
Stay tuned for a future article detailing their Heritage 229 Center Console. Call Caribee at 305-664-3431 or stop by today and ask for Billy in Sales for more information!

Compact Trailer Plates |
If you trailer your boat, and launch it at a boat ramp, chances are more than once you have managed to do some damage to your license plate along the way. We have certainly seen our fair share of mangled plates come through Caribee. Good news for the trailer owner, the State of Florida has decided that marine trailers can now be registered with a compact style plate, as used on motorcycles. Now you can have less plate to worry about dragging on the pavement for your next trip to the ramp. It is always nice to see an easy solution for common annoyances in life, and we hope this will help some of you, in the future.
