The remarkable increase in the popularity of bay boats was obvious at the 2016 Miami Boat Show, as was the increasing sophistication of these coastal performers. While this gallery can’t begin to show all of the boats in this category on display at the show, it offers a good selection (randomly ordered) of bay boats and skiffs from many top manufacturers.
