Center Console Boat Rentals
Key West center consoles for anglers and beach-goers alike, rented by the day or week from Paradise Boat Rentals.
Center Console Boats
For Fishing, Sightseeing or a Family Cruise
A center console boat rental is a versatile pick for fishing, sightseeing or just a family cruise. We rent Key West center consoles in 21' and 24' lengths, with 200 to 250 HP and room for 5 to 9 people, depending on passenger and gear weight. They have a live well and a depth finder for fishing, and they're just as handy for a restaurant or beach run. See the rest of our boat rentals fleet, or browse the consoles below.
Rent a Center Console Boat for the Bay and the Gulf
With the wheel in the middle and walk-around room on every side, a center console makes it easy to cast from any spot on the boat. It's built for more open water, so it's a good choice for the bay, Pine Island Sound and, on a good day, the Gulf. Your captain will go over where to go, where not to go and how the tides work before you leave.

Can I take a center console offshore?
Center consoles are built for more open water. Each boat's page shows whether it's approved for the Gulf, and your captain will go over where you can go and where not to go.
Is a center console best for fishing?
It's a great fishing boat, with a live well, a depth finder and room to cast all the way around. Center consoles are popular for beaches and restaurants too.
What's the difference between the 21' and 24' consoles?
The 24' gives you more length and deck space. Both are Key West center consoles with 200 to 250 HP. Each boat's page lists its exact HP and capacity.
Does the center console have a live well?
Yes. Our Key West center consoles have a live well, so you can keep bait or your catch fresh.
