The best custom skiffs Hand Made in georgia

Thompson Boatworks began with a simple yet ambitious idea: to build custom skiffs that redefine fishing experiences.

Best Skiffs for
Inshore Fishing

Redfish

Redfish are explosive fighters of the shallow flats, tearing through baits and testing your tackle from the first strike. Their bronze sheen and distinctive tail spot make them instantly recognizable, but it’s their relentless fight that anglers remember long after the catch.

Trout

Speckled trout are explosive hunters in shallow water, known for crushing bait and testing your tackle the instant they strike. Their sleek, spotted bodies and bold lateral line make them easy to identify, but it’s their relentless fight and acrobatic leaps that leave every angler hooked.

Snook

Snook are solid and unforgiving, sticking tight to structure and striking with authority. Once hooked, they dig deep and test you from the first pull. Their sleek, torpedo-shaped bodies and powerful runs make them recognizable, but their relentless fight that keeps anglers coming back.

“Awesome person and skilled craftsmanship is spot on. I’ve seen the boats on the water and got the opportunity to fish out of one. No other boats like it. Best built and practical boat you’ll ever own.”

Mark D.

“We love our boat for fishing. The 21 Thompson runs well across the bay, even on rough days. It’s stable and narrow enough to fish comfortably. Rear-facing rod tubes keep tackle organized. Large gutters protect hatches and keep gear dry.”

F. Matters

John is easy to work with, transparent and meticulous.  I am very pleased with the build process and my new skiff. If you are interested in a custom-built boat, I highly recommend ThompsonBoatworks.”
