Carolina Skiff is proud to support Captain Don Dingman and Hook the Future, a heartfelt initiative born from a personal tragedy. After the loss of his son Brian in 2004, Don was moved to share the joy and healing power of fishing with others. Our partnership furthers his mission to teach children and families the importance of spending quality time together through fishing. We’ve increased Don’s ability to touch lives by donating one of our 26LX Sea Chaser bay boats, which is essential for his work. We also provide rod and reel combos for the children who attend the Kids Fishing Clinics he hosts at boat shows across the country.

By backing Don’s dedication, we celebrate the significant impact of bonding with nature and loved ones, which echos our lifestyle view about “family, fishing and fun.”

Through our collaboration with the Sea Turtle Conservancy, we further our commitment to protect and preserve the vibrant ecosystems beneath the waves. With the Conservancy leading the charge in research, education, and advocacy, our role is crystal clear. We’ve equipped them with a Carolina Skiff boat – it’s our way of helping power the work that needs to be done.

This boat provides researchers with an opportunity to explore, educate, and advocate more effectively than ever before. It supports every dive, discovery, and rescue mission. This partnership reflects our shared dedication to preserving and safeguarding sea turtles and their habits, protecting their survival in the face of various threats to their populations.

When we say #JoinTheLifestyle, we think of Patricia Clement, better known as Rivah Sistah to her social media followers. As a boating enthusiast and Skiff owner, she has turned her passion into a mission to get more women out on the water. She is not only dedicated to helping women build their fishing skills and confidence, but she is also mentoring inner-city youth throughout Virginia. Patricia shows that fishing is more than just a pastime, but a lifestyle.

Our partnership supports Patricia’s efforts in sustainable fishing and environmental stewardship. Together, we’re building a community that values our waters and encourages everyone to explore them.

We proudly support veterans groups raising donations for organizations like Wounded Warrior and Take a Soldier Fishing, which are dedicated to our military heroes. By giving back to those who have given so much, we aim to honor their service and sacrifice. Our contributions help provide support and opportunities for veterans to enjoy the great outdoors and find peace on the water.
