skiff
Small shallow-water craft
A skiff is a small, light boat, typically flat-bottomed and designed for one or two people.
Skiffs are propelled by oars, poles, or small outboard motors and used for fishing, rowing, or navigating shallow waters: He crossed the bay in a wooden skiff.
The word suggests something modest and utilitarian rather than elegant.
