PIRANHA BOATWORKS, LLC
LONGWOOD, FLORIDA

Piranha Boatworks, LLC, founded by Craig with its roots in creating specialized tri hulls for fishing and skiing, marked a significant shift in design with the introduction of the Piranha 14 foot flats boat in 1993. This innovation followed an extensive four-year development period, further expanding with the launch of the Piranha 1700 flats boat. Celebrated for their enduring role in the realm of flats fishing, these boats remain popular to this day, epitomizing craftsmanship and ingenuity consistent since their inception. Crafted with precision and a commitment to quality, the boats combine Craig’s original designs with advanced materials such as Nida Core Foam core, biaxial fiberglass, and premium polyester resins. Each boat is meticulously hand-laminated and produced individually, ensuring durability and a customized experience for each owner. The company maintains its traditional approach to boat manufacturing while integrating modern techniques. Relocating in 2015 to Sanford, Florida, Piranha Boatworks leverages the abundant fisheries of Florida and remains well-positioned near their customer base across North Carolina, Gulf Coast states, and Texas. As a testament to their dedication to quality over quantity, each skiff is crafted with unparalleled attention to detail by skilled fishermen for fellow fishing enthusiasts. With its headquarters at 1210 Sarah St, Longwood, FL (Seminole County), the company was incorporated in Florida on November 28, 2015, under status 'FORL' and filed number M15000009628. Piranha Boatworks is led by President Michael Held, focusing on producing custom-made skiffs using state-of-the-art building techniques, reflecting a deep commitment to quality in the fishing boating industry.
