2027 Key West 249 FS Boat in Newport News, VA 23602 US

The 2026 Key West 249 FS is one of the most well-balanced boats in the Family Sportsman lineup-offering the size, power, and layout to comfortably handle both serious fishing and family cruising.

At just under 25 feet, the 249 FS hits a sweet spot for boaters who want more offshore capability than a 22-23 footer, without stepping into the cost and complexity of a larger twin-engine setup. With up to 350 horsepower, it delivers strong performance, efficient cruising, and the ability to confidently run offshore when conditions allow.

Where this boat really shines is its versatility. Like the rest of the FS series, it's designed to be a true hybrid-loaded with fishing features while still prioritizing comfort and usability for families. You get a large bow seating area with backrests, a full-width aft bench, and a spacious console compartment that can double as a changing room or head-making it just as comfortable at the sandbar as it is chasing fish.

From a fishing perspective, it checks all the boxes with livewell systems, rod storage, self-bailing cockpit, and plenty of deck space to move around. The layout is wide open and practical, giving anglers room to fish without feeling cramped, while still keeping all the family-friendly seating intact.

Built with Key West's no wood / no rot construction and foam-filled hull for added flotation, the 249 FS is known for being a durable, value-driven option in the mid-tier center console market-making it a strong choice for buyers who want capability without stepping into premium price points.
