After much thought and discussion with my wife, we have decided against building a skiff right now and are planning on getting on the list for an Ankona Cayenne sometime next year.

I have searched forums, facebook, and multiple other sources and have yet to see a picture of a Cayenne with a side console. Does anyone have one?

I assume its the same as the ones they put on the copperhead and shadowcast? I have read through all the Ankona related threads on here that I can find. Watched all the videos, and the Cayenne seems to fit our needs/wants well, while also being at a great price.

I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen a side console Cayenne either now that you mention it. Your best bet is to email Erin at Ankona. If there has ever been one built they would definitely have pictures. I bet she will respond within a matter of a couple hours, their customer service is the best in this business

I will do that now. Also posted in the ankona owners FB group. Thanks!

I’m pretty active in that group as well, so I’m sure your post will pop up. I’m sure shadowcast on this forum will comment with some pictures or Information once he sees it.

I’d go tiller. Sure wish I did.

Tiller would be my choice as well, however wife wants a steering wheel. She doesn't like running a tiller. Considering she poles our current skiff with me on the bow I'm willing to compromise lol!

You bring up an interesting question about the side console on a Cayenne. I am not sure I have ever seen one either. However, with the reaction that skiff has to trim, running a side console would be great and really open the cockpit up on that skiff. I ran one for 2 years and loved every second of it. feel free to text me with any questions you may have or if you need help with getting pricing or with your build. 863-860-7250

They don’t show a side console option on their website. They offer center, offset, or tiller. Give them a call I’m sure that it would be possible to have one built that way. I bet that it would look incredible and give that boat a lot more space.

My thoughts as well. I like having room. My gheenoe lt25 has a center box. While I like the storage space, it eats up alot of room on an already small skiff. While I know the Ankona is in a different league than a Gheenoe, the same applies, at least in my mind. I think a side console really opens up the cockpit. My only concerns are comfort on longer runs.

Hi I have one that I have been obsessed over getting to know every tiny detail about the boat. I would be happy to answer any specific questions you have and would also be more than happy to take you out on my boat anytime to show you some idiosyncrasies about how it actually performs on the water. I am not consistent in checking online forums but feel free to text me at 786-647-5330 for a quick response.

BLUF - The boat is incredibly versatile and reliable. Will be the best decision of you life lol.
