For the best service after the sale we always recommend that you pruchase from the dealer who is most convenient to you. Because of many variables in pricing we do not quote retail prices at key West Boats. Please contact your dealer. How is a Key West Boat the best value on the water? Key West Boats The Best Value on the Water Today Our boats have more standard features than other boats in their class, such as a compass, and courtesy lights to name a couple. Most builders use these add ons as a profit center. We know you want and need certain items, and we can do it for less if we do it on every boat. At Key West Boats we build one of the safest boats on the market with not only attention to all important flotation, but in every other aspect as well. It is our sincere goal to never have anyone injured on one of our boats because we did not do everything we could to prevent it. Simple but effective, and we put our families on these boats too. Our resale value is one of the highest in the industry because our choice of high quality materials combined with quality construction techniques and versatile designs means that even after years of use it will still appeal to many users and will have many more years yet to go. Construction: Our no wood, no rot philosophy extends to the use of the best materials available today building the strongest, lightest, most durable laminations in the industry. This no compromise approach to boat building insures our owners years of trouble free service. Certification: Key West Boats are built to exceed the standards needed to pass all USCG requirements and the CE standard for export which stresses the same key points we do at Key West Boats; safety, stability, and structural integrity. Privately owned and backed for over two decades with one of the most liberal and seldom needed warranties in the industry. The best warranty is the one you don't need. Are Key West Boats unsinkable? By definition, nothing I can think of is truly unsinkable. If enough weight is attached to any floating object it will sink as a result. In boat terms though, they certainly are, but there are many levels of unsinkable you may have heard of such as 'Positive Flotation' or 'Level Flotation'. Because of the many different levels of flotation and their legal definitions it may become confusing as to which term, or boat is the safest. At Key West Boats we like to refer to our boats as possessing 'Positive Level and Upright Flotation'. This terminology should remove most of the doubt, but we should also qualify under what conditions they should achieve this floating attitude. It is our goal and we test for the boat to float relatively level and upright when completely swamped while loaded with its rated capacity of persons, motor, and gear. This enables the passengers to stay in the boat while they have the chance to drain the boat, or at least to wait for help to arrive. Nothing is as important to Key West Boats as the safety of the people who do us the honor of chosing our product. For a visual demonstration of our flotation quality check out some of the videos posted on this site. Who do I contact to service my boat? To get your boat serviced, we recommend that you contact the dealer you purchased the boat from. If this is not possible, contact the nearest dealer to you.
