17' Willy Classic: Old World Design Meets Modern Day Technology
Our mid-range skiff offers comfort as well as fish-ability. Its classic lines and efficient design strongly reveal its skinny water heritage —a stable, quiet ride and efficient platform from which to chase those stealthy Bonefish in super shallow water, or battle huge Tarpon in the passes. A natural feature of this model and a major reason for its popularity is that, like all Willy Roberts boats, it produces virtually no hull slap when poled and it yields an extremely shallow draft. Of course, it features the traditional Willy raised bow for a great, dry ride.
The 17’ Willy is such an efficient design that it is considered to be one of the finest poling skiffs ever made. With its classic, clean lines and traditional accents, the 17’ Willy will set you apart from all of the rest.
