| - The Skiff is a ship built and used by rock hoppers.
- Skiff is the native language of Skifander. It is distinct from the common language of Europa and incomprehensible to run-of-the-mill Europans. Very few words of the tongue of Skifander have been [ uttered] [[Chronology - Volume #|✣ ]]. The only characters in Europa known to speak Skiff are Zeetha and Baron Klaus Wulfenbach, speculation extends to Gil having some knowledge of the language but no evidence has been seen.

- The survivors of Hunter Gratzner discovered it in a disrepair state. Its fabric wings were wind-torn, but the hull looked intact. It had no power cells to operate and they needed to trek back to the Hunter Gratzner crash site, to cannibalize the ship for parts. Upon escaping the planet, it was intercepted by the Kublai Khan, the Skiff was dragged on-board along with the passengers: Jack, Riddick and Imam Abu al-Walid. The skiff was soon after that ejected from Kublai Khan, and left to drift in space.
- Skiff was a term which could be used to describe a number of different types of vehicle, including both starships and atmospheric vehicles. The Hutt crime lord Jabba owned several skiffs, which he used to transport prisoners to the Great Pit of Carkoon.
- In modular synthesizers, a skiff is a small enclosure meant to accommodate usually 4 to 8 modules, perhaps with some storage space for patch cords. The skiff is intended to be small, portable, and lightweight. This is to facilitate taking the synth to live gigs, busking, and spur-of-the-moment performances. Many skiffs have limits on the depth of the modules they will accommodate, and the performer should take this into account when purchasing or planning the layout of a skiff.
- Skiff is a Dwarf sailor who aided the Torchbearer with his companion Sprig.
- The Skiff is an exhumer with exceptional defensive capabilities.
- Skiffs appeared for the first time in Ultima V, where the Avatar could either purchase one from a shipwright, or have it included with a frigate. They were necessary to reach the shallow waters that the larger frigates couldn't. In Ultima VI, skiffs gained the ability travel over all water surfaces, and no could longer dock with frigates. However, a strong companion now was able to carry the skiff to also safely pass underwater rivers. After that time, skiffs no longer were usable, and the ones encountered were either static (as in Ultima VIII) or part of a ferry system (as seen in Ultima IX).
- Skiff was given wheels after Thomas had his accident and discovered Captain Calles' Pirate Ship. He helped Sailor John and Thomas look for the treasure, thinking Sailor John would give it to the museum. When he found out that John in fact intended to keep the treasure for himself, Skiff tried to stop Sailor John, but could not do much. He saved Thomas from having dynamite thrown at him by shaking Sailor John and later purposely capsized to stop Sailor John getting away with the treasure. After Sailor John was arrested, Skiff was recovered, repainted into a white-and-blue livery, sold to Captain Joe, and started giving "Railboat Tours" around Arlesburgh Harbour.
