19' Carolina Skiff

The Unreel Charters GA vessel is a 19' Carolina Skiff center console, specifically chosen for its ability to access the shallowest reaches of the Georgia marshlands. This stable platform is powered by a reliable 70 HP Suzuki engine, providing the efficiency needed to reach the best spots quickly and safely. The boat is outfitted with essential tools for a productive day, including a modern fishfinder, a live bait tank, and an icebox for storage. While the layout comfortably accommodates up to two anglers for traditional fishing, it is expertly optimized for a single fly fisherman to cast with precision and ease.
