Chittum's New 24 Bay Is Built for Serious Days on the Water
Chittum has earned its reputation building technical fishing skiffs, and its new 24 Bay takes that same approach into a larger, more versatile platform. At 24 feet 5 inches, the boat offers the space and capability of a bay boat without abandoning the performance-first philosophy behind the Florida builder's smaller models.
The hull uses fully vacuum-infused, three-piece carbon construction, with a 9-foot-1-inch beam, 15-degree deadrise, and an estimated hull-only weight of 2,400 pounds. Draft is listed between 13.5 and 16 inches, while available outboard power ranges from 250 to 500 horsepower.
Fishing equipment is central to the design. Standard features include multiple livewells, an insulated fishbox, integrated tackle storage, rod holders, and Seakeeper Ride. Buyers can also specify a Key West-style hardtop, second station, trolling motor, shallow-water anchors, and several casting-platform configurations.
Chittum is limiting production during the model's first year and offering private demonstrations. For anglers who appreciate technical skiff construction but want more room to fish, the 24 Bay deserves attention.
