In 1986, Hutch Holseberg had a vision—to build a different kind of boat. One that didn’t compromise quality for cost. One that every family could proudly park in their driveway. A boat built by fishermen, for fishermen.
Today, that vision lives on at Key West Boats, a family of passionate, dedicated employees who continue to build boats with equal focus on quality and value. We take immense pride in every vessel that leaves our facility, and we’re committed to crafting not just a boat—but a lifelong relationship with every customer.
From the drive to the ride, from the cast to the catch, we bring an artist’s attention to detail to every square inch. Because we know that the memories made on the water are the ones that truly last—and we want every one of yours to be perfect.
Whether you're dreaming of stretching out under a T-top after a long week, standing on deck teaching your child to cast their first line, or catching that peaceful Sunday sunset, we’re here to help make it happen.
Let us help you order the boat of your dreams—with your desired options—at an unbelievable price.
Lead time: 6–8 weeks.
Come see us today and take the first step toward your perfect day on the water.
We've been updating it since then to include an added freeboard, a new console, more storage, more deck space, all fiberglass lids, and even a running surface to improve efficiency. All so that you can enjoy this classic boat with updated features to improve its overall functionality.
The 179FS is built specifically for the active family that appreciates the versatility and mobility of a smaller boat while still allowing them to have the fishing and cruising features normally only found in larger boats. The 179FS combines all of that into a package that can fit in an average residential garage and be towed by most modern SUVs. The updated hull design provides spirited performance and superior fuel economy from a modest 90 HP or can be maxed out with the 140 HP option. Although it’s just shy of 18 feet, it still has great features like a folding jump seat in the rear deck, easy bilge access, extensive storage, and even molded-in rod racks—benefits typically only found in larger designs.
This is a family-oriented center console with less emphasis on hard core fishing and more on the water sports many families enjoy, such as skiing, tubing, camping, or just cruising on the waterway. It features more seating, cup holders, and storage to accommodate all family members, but we never forget the fishermen. It also includes molded-in rod racks and a generous live well. The bench seat in the rear features removable cushions to convert it to a nice fishing deck as well.
The 203 FS captures the pleasant feel of a boat that behaves just the way it should. It perfectly executes a dependable response and handling at any speed to create a smooth and effortless ride. It features a forward-facing seat and bow cushion option that provides comfortable and secure seating for even the adult-sized passengers. It also has a standard full-width bench seat in the rear that doubles as a sun lounge or casting platform.
The spacious front deck can effortlessly switch between comfortable forward faced seating with backrests to twin dry storage or fish boxes as you need. The console houses a large changing room that doubles as a tremendous storage space. The dash panel will flush mount up to 12” screens, and most radios, gauges, and controls. The rear bench seat has fully lined storage areas underneath the comfortable seating and the swinging transom door offers easy entry for swimmers.
It provides plenty of roominess and fishing features to bring home the big catch while also providing the comfort features of a relaxing bow lounge and an aft bench seat that can easily accommodate five across.
It includes a new sleek hardtop frame with an integrated windshield. Other upgrades include molded-in speaker pods, digital switching, a wireless phone charger, and an improved stereo with RGB lighting. Comfort is boosted with deluxe upholstery, a dual bucket seat leaning post, and a freshwater system. Additional features like a sandbar package, stainless steel rub rails, and the Sea keeper Ride System enhance convenience and usability.
