Sea Eagle FSK16 Inflatable Fishing Boat Reviews

This boat is remarkable, it’s sturdy, easy to put together for a quick launch into almost any type water. My son and I both put the boat together and it operated as expected. With an electric motor and both of us having a combined weight of over 400lbs, and some tackle, the boat navigated the water with ease and quickness. Several people were amazed when I took it out of the water and stored it in the back of my Jeep. They couldn’t believe it fit so well with all the equipment and gear. Several people wanted the Sea Eagle website to look for the same boat to buy! My son was happy to be out on the water too, and not just looking at his cell phone!

The Fish Skiff 16 is just what I was looking. Running the Honda 5hp motor I can get around the harbor and fish very shallow water. It has been extremely durable, easy to setup and break down. I use a cooler for a seat in the back, for storage and leave the front open for fly fishing. I also throw my kids or wife in with beach chairs or marine bean bag and it's great. Handles well but going in the direction of larger chop the boat "slides" a bit but I think I'm pushing it beyond its typical use. Love that I can throw it in the back of my car or easily store for winter indoors, although I typically trailer it. I also have 15 lb anchor which I love. It can hold in some pretty strong currents. Overall its a one man fishing machine that gets me into a lot of fish and compliments.

Today I went out on my FS16 and really had a great time out on the waters near the sunshine skyway bridge in Tampa Bay. I was able to paddle in some very shallow water, 3 to 4 inches. This was something I could never dream of doing in any previous boat I had owned. I also enjoyed using my gas engine in the deeper water. I only have a 6hp motor on it and it still was able to cover a good amount of water. With that small of a motor, I was able to be out for a long time without burning an excessive amount of fuel. The boat also handled very well in the swells out in the deeper water. I love the fact that you can stand and not worry about falling out of the skiff. All bets are off for larger swells though. One of the best things I enjoy about the boat is that once back at home it does not take up much space in my garage, just a small portion of a side wall is all it requires.

I think the SE16 is a practical design. I used it with a Mercury 3.5 and a Honda 2.3. Not enough HP to get her up on plane, but enough to get around. A very stable platform and since I fish alone most of the time, I can carry a lot of gear. show full review ▼ Good for poling, fly fishing etc.

Just got back from 2 weeks fishing at Hatteras NC. The FSK 16 is a great inflatable boat,my wife and I enjoyed everything about it. I will be ordering other attachments for my on preference but overall it is prefect. I have it pared with a 5 horse Honda. Moves it along just fine. I would like to see SeaEagle come up with an inflatable plug for where you inflate the keel to make the floor more stable in that area. Otherwise this is a great product

I love the boat no trailer and little storage. Went out in the ocean off of San Diego California 20 miles out offshore in 6-8 foot swells. It handled alot better than I expected. Great fishing vessel. Highly recommend for someone on a budget. I have a Mercury 6hp. It's perfect for the boat. It gets up to 12 mph. That's perfect for the swells in the pacific ocean. It's a game changer. I have alot of photos but this site will only let me take a picture and not share photos.

I am very impressed with the Fishskiff 16, l turned mine into a 2 seated fishing machine. Very rugged boat and stable. I’m going to send my photos separately because I’m unable to retrieve them from photos on my tablet, so look for an email from ricfhanner@gmail l think you will like them. Thanks for a great skiff, Richard Hanner

Tremendous fishing and cruising platform. The Honda 9.9 hp is a great addition that gets me to my favorite spots in a hurry. The inflatable keel is an awesome upgrade. The Sea Eagle staff are customer oriented, providing timely and reliable responses to your questions and requests.

We have owned this boat for about a year and it's been great. It's paired with a 9.8 Tohatsu. With two people plus gear (we have a lot) we can run about 20 mph and have about a 60 mile range with a three gallon tank. We live in northern Wisconsin and use it for fishing and diving. We just got back from a two week trip in the Florida Keys and it was great for diving (free diving). Used a bunch of kayak/rustic launches and being able to hand carry the boat and gear in was great. Got a bunch of lobster and fish! No problems with the boat. Like others have said we think the electric pump is a must. We have the model before the inflatable keel was added, turn radius isn't great, my only minor complaint. Seems to handle well at running speed. This boat was quite the conversation stater so plan on extra time at the launch!

I live in southern Rhode Island and fish in rivers and a bay for bass and blues. Buying this boat was a game changer because it allows me to cover a lot of water and get to the fish. I use a 5hp motor which is perfect and the boat moves right along. The boat is comfortable and stable and is easy to get in and out of the water. We use public access locations and the set up is very easy to carry in and out and the motor is light enough to carry around. Anyone looking to avoid the hassle of a trailer, hauling around a boat and the like should consider this option. This is a great fishing boat for inshore locations!
