Hull Profile Description
Inspired by over 25 years of river guiding, the Kingfisher Skiff features a high-bow and pronounced rocker profile (6" Bow / 8" Stern) designed to ride high through standing wave trains while keeping front anglers high and dry. Its shallow-draft hull (3"–5" draft) glides easily over skinny water, riffles, and shoals. The wide beam and flat bottom center section provide an ultra-stable platform for anglers standing, leaning, or casting in heavy water.
Model Description
The Kingfisher Skiff is Blue Ridge Boatworks’ flagship polymer drift skiff. Built with an open, walk-around cockpit layout, this model emphasizes ergonomics, simple line-free interiors, and maximum storage versatility. Built to navigate technical trout waters and warmwater rivers alike, it combines lightweight agility with bomber durability.

Custom-engineered in partnership with Wesco Trailers for the Kingfisher Skiff's rocker profile. Features extra-large full-length walkboard, tiered rollers, heavy-duty winch, spare tire mount, and tongue jack.
