2024 Key West 263 FS - KEYWEST FOR SALE

Propelled by twin white Yamaha F200 outboards with joystick control and integrated steering upgrades, this refined center console delivers effortless handling and composed power. A Yamaha CL5 display keeps vital data at a glance, while a Garmin suite—Fantom 18 radar, dual 8612XSV touchscreen combos, and VHF with antenna and GPS position—locks in confident navigation offshore. Yamaha Twin EX Autopilot steadies the course on long bluewater runs, and a Fusion Apollo MS-RA670 system energizes the day with eight Signature speakers, a 10-inch Signature subwoofer, and upgraded amplification via an 8-channel 2000W and a 2250W monoblock. A wireless phone charger adds modern ease, and the accent-colored hardtop with powder-coated framework integrates radio boxes, a cargo net, LED lighting, and rod holders for a sleek, functional profile befitting a luxury powerboat and sport yacht.

Fish, cruise, and entertain in comfort from the convenience-center leaning post with powder coat finish, while interior LEDs and seven-color underwater lights set the perfect mood at twilight. Up front, a bow filler board with cushion creates a sprawling lounge, complemented by a console dash pad and a cushioned helm floor pad for all-day comfort. Protection comes via a hardtop spray shield and side curtains, aided by a tall windshield that softens the breeze. Practical touches include pop-up fender holders for clean topsides, a console cover and leaning post cover for added care, and a transom dive ladder for easy reboarding after a swim. Below, a pump-out toilet with a built-in 9-gallon tank transforms the spacious console into a proper day-cruising head, elevating this family dayboat and fishing yacht into true motor-yacht versatility.

As the flagship of the Family Sportsman series, the 263FS blends poise with purpose. An under-deck windlass streamlines anchoring, the hardtop crowns a generous helm, and a side entry door with a concealed ladder makes water access simple. Power-assist steering and balanced hull dynamics deliver a confident ride, while its bluewater sportfish DNA shines through with twin aerated livewells, 22 rod holders, and horizontal gunwale racks for eight rods—proof that serious angling and elegant family cruising can live aboard the same offshore fishing boat.

Quality is baked in from bow to transom: a ten-year hull warranty and no-wood, no-rot construction with closed-cell positive foam flotation inspire long-term confidence, and a foam-injected fiberglass stringer system stiffens the ride. The helm features a stainless wheel and SeaStar hydraulic tilt steering with power assist, backed by twin bilge pumps with automatic float switches and a self-bailing cockpit for security at sea. Creature comforts abound—premium flip-up bolster leaning post over a 94-quart cooler, cushioned console seat with backrest, and a wide aft bench with removable cushions—while forward seating with integrated backrests invites relaxed conversation. Stainless cup holders, cockpit bolsters, courtesy lights, blue footwell accents, and a power outlet at the dash keep every journey indulgent and organized.

Anchoring and washdowns are effortless thanks to a through-hull windlass with rope and chain and a high-pressure washdown system, while LED livewell lights and a macerated bow fish box with a 5-gallon bucket holder bolster tournament readiness. Storage and service access are smartly arranged, including a lined bilge with large hatch through the bench box and a console footrest with storage. The hardtop integrates twin storage/radio boxes; the bow remains sleek with a recessed, low-profile rail; and the large console offers generous flush-mount space and lighting ideal for the enclosed head. Gunwale racks secure 8-foot rods, and the built-in fuel tank stretches your range. The engine package comes complete with stainless props, a dual battery switch adds redundancy, and the fresh water system elevates onboard living. Finished with a white rub rail with stainless insert and guided by Ride System AI-driven trim tabs, the 263FS stands as a polished, capable center console yacht—equally at home as an offshore sportfisher, luxury day cruiser, or versatile family tender.
