Beavertail Osprey - Uncompromising performance, quality and value.

Many claims have been made in the skiff industry, but seeing a Beavertail Osprey in person - or better yet, spending a few hours fishing on one - is believing. The Osprey, Beavertail’s highly anticipated center-console skiff, is sure to appeal to a wide audience of hardcore shallow water fishermen. Sharing the proven hull configuration with the Beavertail B2 and Bare Bones, the Osprey’s balanced design delivers exceptional handling and the capability of elevated stand-up operation.

The awesome, no-slide cornering will be greatly appreciated when flying down winding creeks or through tight mangrove cuts. The sharp entry and massive spray rails make for a remarkably smooth, dry ride in a chop. And while superior handling and ride usually mean a compromise in draft, the Osprey is truly manufactured for the skinniest of water. The hull design allows the engine to be operated extremely high on the transom without losing water pressure, meaning you can run in as little as five to six inches and get up on plane in a foot of water. The Osprey achieves tunnel hull-like performance under power, yet it will pole where a tunnel hull can't with a draft of only four to six inches, depending upon engine weight and payload. With an Osprey, there are no more boundaries!
