2024 Key West 239 FS

Step aboard and you’ll notice how thoughtfully this 239 FS is laid out for real-world days on the water. The forward loungers convert from casting deck to a shaded conversation pit in seconds, with deep backrests and storage that actually swallows all the beach gear. At the helm, the wide, bolstered leaning post keeps you locked in when the chop picks up, and the windshield/console combo gives surprising protection for a 23-footer. Aft, the full-beam bench folds away cleanly when it’s time to fish, revealing a broad, uncluttered cockpit and easy access to the swim platforms. Details like the finished bilge, stainless hardware throughout, and grippy, easy-rinse deck surfaces make this boat feel dialed-in, not just dressed up.

This 239 FS shines in local waters where you might bounce from shallow sandbars to nearshore reefs in a single outing. The hull has enough deadrise to soften the afternoon chop, but still floats shallow for sneaking into calm coves. It’s an ideal size for crowded weekends at the sandbar, offering generous seating without feeling bulky around tight inlets or busy channels. When the breeze comes up, the predictable handling and solid ride inspire confidence for runs offshore to chase dolphin or bottom fish. Add in the family-friendly layout, enclosed head, and swim platforms, and it’s perfectly suited to mixed-crew days where some want to fish hard and others just want to relax.
