Address: 114 NE 10th St Building 2, Trenton, FL 32693

Description: Biscayne Boatworx LLC was founded in 2018 by Nick Weiland, originally located in Homestead, Florida, a farming town near Biscayne Bay. An avid outdoorsman, and fisherman, Nick spent his spare time as a teenager and young adult, working on his own personal boats, while receiving mentoring and apprenticeships, from boat industry veterans of over 40 years.

After nearly a decade of doing full rebuilds, customizations, and modifications, with top-of-the-line industry standards, the demand for his skills and help in the community increased. Thus Biscayne Boatworx LLC was born.

In 2023, after much prayer, Nick and his wife Allyson decided it was time to leave Homestead and moved Biscayne Boatworx LLC to its new location in Trenton, FL. This move to North Florida allowed for a larger location, more centrally located, to better serve customers from all over the state of Florida, and surrounding states.

Nick’s honesty, attention to detail, cleanliness, and quality of work has brought Biscayne Boatworx LLC to the forefront of recommended boat repair services, for recreational boaters, as well as commercial fishing guides. We are honored to have not only local customers but also customers from surrounding states, as well as the Caribbean islands.

Description: Mason Matejcek grew up in the small town of Gonzales, Texas. You’ve probably heard of Gonzales because of its famous saying “Come and Take it” used in the battles of Gonzales during the Texas revolution in 1835. Despite all the Texas history, miles of Guadalupe and San Marcos river Gonzales had to offer, Mason always found himself at the coast thanks to his dad’s shared love of fishing.  His family raised chickens for Tyson Foods, as well as cattle. Mason is pretty sure his grandparents regretted giving him his first fly rod when they found out he would be pursuing a career in fishing instead of running the family farm.

Now-a-days, Mason Matejcek is a full time fly fishing and light tackle sight casting guide on the Texas coast from Rockport to Port O’ Connor. Mason has been guiding these waters full time, for over a decade and fishing them longer than he can remember. In Mason’s opinion, fly fishing the flats of Texas is one thing you have to experience if you call yourself a fly fisherman. Having fished many places around the world, Texas is still favorite fishery of all.

Capt. Mason Matejcek is a full service Marquesa Marine dealer serving the Rockport area.

Description: Chittum Skiffs was born from a vision to revolutionize the flats skiff market. Founded by guide and boat builder Hal Chittum, our journey began in 1996 with the creation of Hell’s Bay Boatworks. Hal and Chris Morejohn’s first prototype skiff, displayed in a small swimming pool, demonstrated the lightweight and minimal draft capabilities that would forever change the industry. Despite initial skepticism, Hell’s Bay became a benchmark for high-tech, shallow water fishing machines. After selling Hell’s Bay in 2002, Hal was driven to create something even better. Thus, Chittum Skiffs emerged with a mission to build state-of-the-art flats skiffs using the latest high-tech composite materials and innovative designs.

Description: Legendary anglers knew that there were wild fish in far-off, inaccessible places, and in order to pursue them he needed a craft with the sea-handling characteristics of a bigger boat in order to cross the open water basins and channels, the stability and ruggedness of a Jon boat to carry his gear, and the stealth, draft and agility of a canoe to pole the flats and skinny waters where his elusive quarry roamed.

And in 1997, such a craft did not exist and started from scratch, designing and building a revolutionary new skiff under a huge oak tree in north Florida that was unlike anything, and would change everything.

You can visit this very skiff in our showroom in Titusville Florida, the original Hell’s Bay 16’ Whipray. This humble little boat launched an entire industry, changing the way every skiff after it was designed and built. And it became the roots from which the entire Hell’s Bay family of the world’s finest shallow water skiffs would grow.

In 2007, Wendi and Chris Peterson took the helm at Hell’s Bay Boatworks, ushering in new ideas, new models, and a growing community of owners. In fact, many would call out membership in this special group of like-minded anglers as one of the ultimate benefits of owning one of the world’s finest skiffs.

The Peterson’s have also placed conservation as one of the core values at Hell’s Bay, helping support those organizations that in turn support the environments and ecosystems vital to our passions. Hell’s Bay is a proud supporter of Captains for Clean Water, the International Game Fish Association, the Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation, The Everglades Trust, and the Bonefish & Tarpon Trust.

Hell’s Bay is the first choice of some of the greatest guides on earth, and the legendary anglers at the very top of the sport. Every Hell’s Bay skiff is designed to be the perfect tool for those obsessed with their pursuit of the most elusive fish in the most inaccessible places. Unprecedented, innovative design, yacht-level build quality and space-age materials result in stealthy, shallow performance combined with open-water capabilities and comfort. These are the elements that come together in every Hell’s Bay, and we will never stop searching in our quest to continue dreaming, innovating and building the world’s finest shallow water skiffs!
