16 Skiff Dorado

Dorado 16 Backwater Skiff – Go Where Others Can’t

Meet the Dorado 16 Backwater Skiff a shallow-water specialist designed to reach spots other boats simply can’t. Drawing just 4 inches of water, this skiff opens up hidden creeks, mangrove tunnels, and remote flats that were once only accessible by kayak. Its narrow beam allows for effortless maneuvering in tight spaces, while still providing the capability to run out to nearby islands with confidence.

Built with the same rugged standards and attention to detail that have defined Dorado Boats since 1985, the 16 Skiff is a compact, durable platform ready for serious backcountry exploration. Standard features include a full liner, 11.5-gallon fuel tank, and livewell, with an optional side console and remote steering for added convenience.

Unique to the 16 are the running skegs, which help reduce the “fish tailing” commonly associated with light technical skiffs—giving you better tracking and control in skinny water.

If you’re looking for a true shallow-draft skiff built with the quality and heritage of Dorado, the 16 Backwater Skiff is ready to take you places others can’t.
