2026 Key West 188 Bay Reef

This 2026 Key West 188 Bay Reef is a fiberglass bay boat built for serious fishing. Powered by a single Yamaha 115 hp engine, the 18-foot hull features an aggressive V entry that delivers a smooth, dry ride in variable conditions. The boat measures 7 feet 4 inches across the beam, draws 12 inches, and carries 40 gallons of fuel.

The fishing layout prioritizes functionality. Bow and stern livewells keep bait and catch fresh, while gunwale-mounted rod storage and a generous bow casting deck offer ample room for tackle and anglers. A self-bailing cockpit keeps the working area clear, and bilge access is straightforward through a removable storage tub. Battery storage for cranking and trolling motors sits integrated under the console floor.

Construction throughout uses no-wood materials to eliminate rot concerns. The hull is foam-filled for flotation and backed by a 10-year warranty. Standard equipment includes white hull color, while additional options are available—including GPS/chartplotter, stereo with Bluetooth audio, swim platform, cooler seat, and stainless steel hardware.
