This boat has been sold. We will miss it, but she went to a great home. We will be running the Dolphin Super Skiff moving forward.

Our 2018 Cayo 180 was custom built by Cayo Boatworks for Captain Brian to be right at home in Key West. This boat was built to be simple and effective. It does not have an abundance of bells and whistles, but has exactly what you need for a successful day on the water.

At Low Key Angling, we bleed black and only trust Mercury Marine for our power. The 115 Pro XS pushes this boat past 55mph.

The Cayo 180 can do a lot for a flats skiff. It floats in six inches of water so that we can chase our targets in the skinny. This feat is very impressive for an 18 foot skiff. It takes rougher water as well so that we can cross over Boca Grande channel to get to the Marquesas. The hull was designed to be quiet so that sneaking up on spooky fish like permit can be done. It is a very stable fishing platform. Most flats skiffs are known to be tippy, this is not one of them.
