A poling platform, a quiet hull and a draft measured in inches. Flats boats exist to get into the skinny water of Florida Bay, the backcountry and the Everglades where the bonefish, permit and redfish are — places where anything else runs aground.
What it is good for
- Sight fishing the flats and the backcountry
- Everglades and Florida Bay
- Trailering to wherever the fish are that week
What to watch for
- Almost no shelter and very little freeboard: not a boat for crossing open water in a chop.
- Running aground on seagrass damages protected habitat and carries real fines.
- Resale is strongly brand-driven in this niche.
The dock it needs
Draft is a non-issue, so almost any waterfront home works. A lift and a shaded slip do more for resale value than dock length ever will.

Other boat types
General orientation for South Florida waters, not professional advice. Lengths and drafts are typical ranges — the only numbers that matter are the ones on the specific hull you are looking at. Before buying, get a survey from an accredited marine surveyor and verify depth and clearance on the actual route you will run.
