The Beavertail Skiffs Rival

Designed for anglers who value simplicity, performance, and the freedom to rig it your way—tiller or side console.

At 16′10″ with a 70″ beam, the Beavertail Skiffs Rival brings modern balance and confidence to skinny water. Built on a proven Beavertail Skiffs hull lineage and refined for today’s anglers, it delivers the stability you want on the platform and the agility you need when the wind or tide shifts.

Choose your setup—tiller or side console—and get precise handling, clean rigging, and smart weight distribution that keeps the boat quiet, level, and efficient. From poling long shots on clear flats to threading shallow creeks, the Rival slips into places that demand stealth and control.

Fit and finish are pure Beavertail Skiffs: purposeful, durable, and dialed. Every detail is there to fish better—nothing extra, nothing missing. If you’re looking for a compact technical skiff that fishes bigger than its size and keeps you dry on the run, the Rival earns its name.
