Research 2020 - Dolphin -18- Back Country Pro

The 18' Back Country Pro known affectionately in the Florida Keys as "the pride", with its Deep V hull, is the most versatile flats boat in the world. It rides better than many fishing boats over 20' and yet poles in 10” of water. The Everglades Park Rangers comfortably run their 18' Back Country Pro's over 55mph in a 3' chop!

Tarpon guides from Jupiter to Key West have been recommending the 18' Back Country Pro for twenty years for its stability in open bays and inlets, allowing people to walk around the gunnels securely. Recreational anglers will appreciate being able to pole the flats in the morning, and pick up the family to water ski or dive the patch reefs in the afternoon.

The 18' Back Country Pro was designed by to be top back country boat.
