Dogfish Boats

When Adventure Hits The Water

Dogfish Boats are simple, ultra-stable 8-foot boats built in Bellingham, Washington — light enough to fit in a truck bed, tough enough to launch anywhere, and stable enough to stand up and cast from.

What Owners Say About Their Dogfish

Rated 5 out of 5
Steve Ronholt of Fishing with Ladin | April 2016
“Used this boat for the first time last week and love it. Many advantages over my pontoon boat. I can stand up and not have to sit the entire time fishing. And I do not have to wader up and have my feet dangling in the water (No flippers that I can barely squeeze on to my boots). Loved fishing from a one man watercraft that is so stable and comfortable.”
Clint Avery | March 2016
“These boats make a great fishing platform. Easily maneuverable easy to row. The clean lines greatly reduce line snags, and the stability makes standing for casting a breeze. This boat has me planning on selling my pontoon boat. Love my Dogfish 8 boat.”
Denny | April 2016
“Thank you again for an awesome little fly fishing pram. It suits me perfect. Allows me to stand up whenever I want to even with my poor balance issues from my stroke. For me I rate it a perfect little boat for flyfishing.”
Michael T. | April 2020
"Love this thing! Fits perfectly in the back of my Chevy Silverado and can easily be thrown on top of a Subaru outback or something similar. It is SUPER stable and has an incredible amount of space inside for such a small craft. It is lightweight enough to drag to the water by myself and the bottom is super tough and can handle plenty of wear and tear. I cant stop heading to the water every day after work. Thanks Dogfish Boats!"
