Chittum

Chittum Skiffs was born from a vision to revolutionize the flats skiff market. Founded by guide and boat builder Hal Chittum, our journey began in 1996 with the creation of Hell’s Bay Boatworks. Hal and Chris Morejohn’s first prototype skiff, displayed in a small swimming pool, demonstrated the lightweight and minimal draft capabilities that would forever change the industry. Despite initial skepticism, Hell’s Bay became a benchmark for high-tech, shallow water fishing machines. After selling Hell’s Bay in 2002, Hal was driven to create something even better. Thus, Chittum Skiffs emerged with a mission to build state-of-the-art flats skiffs using the latest high-tech composite materials and innovative designs.
