Our Flats Skiff & Bay Boat | Panama City Light Tackle

We’ve run Key West boats since the 1720 debuted back in 1994. In 24+ years of full-time guiding, I’ve owned high-dollar tournament hulls, but Key West delivers the real shallow-water performance and build quality I need on the flats.

Built with wood-free composite hulls, Kevlar-reinforced keels for oyster bars, and upright closed-cell foam flotation, both our 23' Bay Reef and 17' Stealth keep you safe, dry, and fishing skinny across St. Andrew and West Bay.
