Redfisher 18

The Redfisher 18 takes popularity to the next step. This versatile, mid-sized skiff has been the choice of top backcountry anglers and guides for decades. Now the Redfisher 18 delivers even greater range, speed and performance and is perfectly matched for mid-power options.

A true backcountry 18, the Hewes Redfisher 18 features a CAD designed hull, lighter weight and increased strength for more range and speed. There's expanded dry storage, too. The Redfisher 18's fishing-focused design has been enhanced with the addition of optional release wells, more rod storage and recessed trim tabs for snag-free fishing. Features like a flip-up backrest and ergonomically designed console plus the legendary Hewes ride make those long early-light runs into the backcountry a safe and comfortable pleasure.
