Pack the cooler, grab the towels and get everyone aboard. A family day on the water doesn’t need a complicated itinerary, especially when you’re spending it in the Florida Keys. Find a favorite sandbar, drop the anchor and settle in for an afternoon of swimming and relaxing together.
Our latest lifestyle video follows a family enjoying that kind of day aboard the Sportsman Open 302. With room to spread out and comfortable places to gather, this 30-foot center console makes a welcoming home base for time on the water.
A Place to Gather Between Swims
On a sandbar day, the bow becomes a natural gathering spot. The Open 302’s wraparound seating and removable backrests give everyone a place to get comfortable, while the electric bow table lets the space change throughout the afternoon.
Raise it for lunch together, lower it and add the cushion to create a sundeck, or bring it flush with the floor to open up the deck. Whether the family is sharing snacks or stretching out during a break from swimming, the layout gives you options.
An insulated cooler beneath the console-front seat keeps cold drinks close to those relaxing up front. It’s a small convenience you’ll appreciate when everyone climbs aboard thirsty and ready for a snack.
Made for Time in the Water
With clear water just off the boat, swimming is part of the plan. The Open 302 features side entry doors on both sides and a four-step boarding ladder on the starboard side to make getting back aboard easier.
A freshwater washdown provides a convenient rinse after a swim, helping everyone get comfortable before settling back into a seat or heading to the next stop.
Those practical details help a day flow from one thing to the next: a swim, some lunch, a little time in the sun and another swim before anyone is ready to leave.
