The 189FS offers the most family features possible in a smaller vessel while still being able to handle a serious fishing trip. This is 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.

The Family Sportsman Series by Key West Boats specializes in exactly what you would expect - family fun and fishing intensity. No matter your reason for being out on the water, this is the boat you need.
A modified V hull with our reverse chine system subdues the waves and puts you in control. Whether it's your children enjoying the sun on the bow, or your fishing buddies gearing up for the next spot, every rider is going to love the easy-going ride of our Family Sportsman Series. With every model geared with at least one live well and plenty of seating, you won't find an event that these boats can't handle with ease. Completely Foam-Filled construction is the key to the Key West name and makes these boats one of a kind, putting them in a league of their own.
Compared to our traditional center console designs, you will see more seating with the full width bench seat in the stern where the cushions are removable to convert the bench to a fishing deck. Cup holders found at the transom seat, console, and even on the front deck. Rod holders are molded into the side wall of the boats. This boat maximizes storage space with fully lined compartments under the bench, and a console intended to double as a head.
As is true with every Key West Boat, the Family Sportsman series has live wells in each model. Live wells can double as storage, cooler space (got to love all that foam!), or simply a trash compartment when not used for their intended purpose.
