With more than 450 photo submissions from Carolina Skiff fans from all over the world, we are excited to announce the grand-prize winner is Rafael L. from Florida!

Rafael, who’s winning photo was a finalist from the November “Fun” contest, said he was blown away when he found out he won.

“We took some great pictures that day and this picture always stood out to me,” said Rafael of his photo, which features his fiancé and her little sister standing on the bow of his JVX 18. “We will definitely never forget this fun day out on the Crystal River coast [and] we can’t wait to get back out there soon.”

Beginning in September, we launched a 3-month photo contest asking our fans to submit their favorite Family, Fishing and Fun photos with their Carolina Skiff brand boat, with “Family” being the September theme, “Fishing” the October theme and “Fun” in November.

At the end of each month, we picked our top five favorite photos and the combined 15 finalists went up for fan voting in December.

Coming in second place is Justin G. from Georgia with his “Family” entry from September, which features himself, his wife Kristin and their three daughters inside their 198 DLV. As a long-time CSkiff fan, Justin entered several great photos during the entire 3-month contest.

Our third place winner is Joe L. from Pennsylvania, who submitted the ultimate “Fun” photo featuring his 20 DSF Fun Chaser, a boatload of family and even two dogs.

From all of us at Carolina Skiff, congratulations to the winners and thank you to everyone who entered! We truly have the best fans! Stay tuned for more photo contests in the future.
