Excellent Crafts Since 1986

The roots of Key West Boats can be traced back to 1986 when founder Hutch Holseberg started building high-quality, high-value midsize fishing boats. From there, through hard work and perseverance, Holseberg was able to turn Key West Boats into one of the greatest-selling companies of mid-sized fishing boats on the market. One of their keys to success (no pun intended) is their expansion into more versatile boats. Many of the latest models offer features that all sorts of on-water enthusiasts can enjoy, including families.

You’ll find many of the available vessels are best suited for saltwater environments, but can also make river and lake boating more fun and easier to maneuver. Plus, they’ll have plenty of room for your entire boating party!

Fantastic Features

The list of standard features is so extensive that when you buy a Key West boat, you’re buying a vessel with more standard features than any other model in its class. This is because their focus on providing you with better performance, improved safety, and simply a more exciting experience helps to elevate the quality and quantity of features.

They come with some of the basic features you’d expect—from powerful engines and molded swim platform to rod storage and Foam-Injected Fiberglass Stringer System. You’ll also get to choose from lots of optional features to make the experience more comfortable and improve the performance. This can include a range of mooring covers and the T-top deluxe with a radio box, spreader lights, and rocket launchers. And these are just a handful of the features you can expect from these vessels.

No Wood-No Rot Construction

But of course, no amount of features can replace the importance of good designs and construction. That’s why every Key West boat comes with No Wood-No Rot Construction. This ensures you can continue to enjoy time in your boat for many years to come without having to take any additional preservative steps. This adds to the durability and superior performances that you can expect from these models, on top of improved designs. Everything is also backed by a thorough, although often unused, warranty so you can use your Key West boat knowing they’ve got your back.

Plus, we’ll have your back.
