Whether your Key West boat is docked, on a trailer, or in storage, our covers provide reliable protection from UV rays, rain, dust, and bird droppings, keeping your boat in top condition.

About Key West Boats
For more than three decades, Key West has focused on dependable performance and everyday usability. From classics like the 1720 Sportsman and Bay Reef series to versatile FS (Family Sportsman) center consoles and dual-console DFS models, plus offshore-leaning Billistic hulls, the lineup is built for anglers and families who split time between fishing, cruising, and beach days. Popular rigs such as the 189 FS, 203 FS, 219 FS, 239 FS, and 239 DFS are known for smart storage, self-bailing decks, and no-nonsense hardware that stands up to real use.
Why Protect Your Key West With a Custom Cover?
Sun, salt, rain, and dock grime don’t rest. A purpose-built Key West boat cover:
- Blocks UV to help prevent gelcoat fade and vinyl cracking on bolsters, loungers, and helm seats.
- Repels water yet breathes, reducing mildew and corrosion around fasteners, hinges, and lockers.
- Keeps decks clean, stopping bird droppings, pollen, and dust before they stain nonskid or cushions.
- Shields the helm, protecting screens and switches between trips.
Custom-Fit vs. Generic Covers
Key West hulls feature pronounced bow flare, walk-around decks, integrated windshields, optional bow rails, and T-tops/hard-tops—details that generic tarps can’t handle. Loose covers sag, pool water, flap in the wind, and can scuff gelcoat.
Our model-specific Key West covers are pattern-cut so they:
- Fit cleanly over the bow flare and route around T-top uprights and windshields
- Shed water without pooling at the foredeck or around the console
- Use reinforcement pads at contact points to minimize chafe
- Breathe to help prevent trapped moisture
- Install quickly with a logical, quick-release strap layout
Designed for stationary storage (lift, trailer, dock). Remove the cover before trailering or getting underway.
Features of Our Key West Boat Covers
- Precision Patterns by Model – Whether you run a classic 1720 Sportsman, a Bay Reef (e.g., 196/210/216/246 Bay Reef), or an FS/DFS favorite like 189 FS, 203 FS, 219 FS, 239 FS, or 239 DFS, your cover is cut to your console height, top style, bow seating/rails, and transom rigging.
- T-Top & Console Coverage – Full-height designs wrap the console and top cleanly while maintaining airflow; open consoles are protected just as thoroughly.
- Marine-Grade Fabrics – UV-resistant, water-repellent, breathable textiles built for salt and sun. For year-round outdoor storage, our rugged 9-oz marine polyester is the workhorse; solution-dyed premium options deliver a luxe look and excellent color retention.
- Reinforced Construction – Double-stitched seams, abrasion pads, and heavy-duty tie-downs keep the cover secure through the season.
- Owner-Friendly – Quick-release buckles, a smart strap map, and an included storage bag make installs fast—even solo.
Warranty Coverage
Every Perfect Fit Key West cover is backed by our limited warranty:
- 1-year workmanship coverage (stitching, components, construction)

Frequently Asked Questions - Key West Boat Covers
Which Key West models do you provide covers for?
We provide custom-made T-top and center console covers for a wide range of Key West models, including popular options like the 176 Bay Reef, 203 FS, and 246 Bay Reef.
Are these covers effective in protecting my boat from weather elements?
Our covers are water-resistant and designed to shield your boat from rain, moisture, and other environmental elements. While not fully waterproof, they offer excellent protection against typical weather conditions.
Can I use the cover while trailering my boat?
Yes, our covers are suitable for trailering, providing protection from road debris, dust, and adverse weather while keeping your boat secure during transport.
How do I select the right cover for my Key West boat?
Use our cover selector tool by entering your boat’s make and model to find the best-fitting cover for your Key West vessel.
How should I maintain my boat cover?
To maintain your boat cover, brush off loose dirt regularly and rinse with fresh water. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, avoiding harsh chemicals to preserve the fabric's durability.
Do You Pattern For Both FS/DFS And Bay Reef Layouts (And Older Billistic Models)?
Yes. We maintain dedicated patterns for FS and DFS family boats, Bay Reef models (including popular sizes like 196/210/216/246 Bay Reef), and legacy Billistic hulls such as 261/281/351 Billistic. Each pattern accounts for console height, top geometry, bow seating or casting decks, and transom rigging.
My Key West Has Optional Gear—Bow Rail, T-Top Electronics Box, Power-Poles®, Or A Bow-Mount Trolling Motor. Will The Cover Still Fit?
It will. Our patterns route around hard-top uprights and integrated windshields, and we offer allowances for common options such as bow rails, trolling motors, and shallow-water anchors. We also offer matching outboard engine covers for single or twin setups.
What Fabric Should I Choose If My Key West Lives Outside All Year?
Pick our 9-oz marine polyester for maximum durability—it’s rugged, UV-resistant, water-repellent, and breathable for full-season storage. Prefer a premium look with excellent color retention? Choose our solution-dyed upgrade. Both are covered by multi-year fabric warranties.
