Hewes boats are made for shallow-water saltwater fishing. They are flats and backcountry skiffs built to slip into water just inches deep, where gamefish like redfish, snook, and trout feed. A Hewes has a shallow draft, a quiet hull, and an open deck for casting and poling, which is exactly what flats anglers and fishing guides want. While a Hewes is right at home on calm flats and protected bays, it is not built for rough offshore water like a deep-V center console. If skinny-water fishing is your goal, a Hewes is one of the best tools for the job.
