Captains for Clean Water is accepting entries for its annual World’s Finest Skiff Giveaway. You can support the fight for clean water and give yourself a shot at a one-of-a-kind boat by entering the contest.
This year’s Hell’s Bay Professional skiff sports a classic Orvis-inspired, green-and-cream finish and comes with a custom AquaTraction floor kit. It comes with a Mercury 60R outboard, Power Pole Pro II, Simrad electronics, Ram-Lin trailer, Stiffy push pole and all the gear you need to chase redfish in the Lowcountry or tarpon in the Keys, including four Orvis Helios D fly rods, a Yeti kit, a Turtlebox speaker and a $1,000 Costa gift card.
There also are two runner-up packages, with gear from such brands as Yeti, Costa, Turtlebox, AFTCO, Columbia, Marsh Wear, Pelagic, Free Fly and Duck Camp.
The giveaway is about more than gear — it’s about standing up for clean water. Captains for Clean Water is a grassroots nonprofit on a mission to restore and protect the Florida Everglades and interconnected waters. By entering the giveaway, you’re supporting critical efforts in advocacy, outreach, education and more.
From Chris and Wendi Peterson, owners of Hell’s Bay Boatworks:
“Conservation is at the heart of everything we do. Hell’s Bay Boatworks has committed from day one to fight alongside Captains for Clean Water in the pursuit of the restoration of the Everglades. By donating the Professional as this year’s raffle skiff, we are investing in the protection of Florida’s waters now and for future generations.”
Each $50 donation secures one entry in the giveaway, with a maximum of 20 per individual. (Mail-in entries without donations are also accepted.) The entry period closes at 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) Dec. 31.
The drawing is Jan. 11, 2026, at 5:30 p.m. (Eastern Time), and will be streamed live on Facebook and Instagram from Fort Myers, Fla.
