Customer service isn’t an afterthought for us. It’s built into how we operate. From the first conversation to years after delivery, we remain connected and committed to supporting every customer.
Made for the Caribbean: Not Adapted to It
Most imported boats are built for a general market. KSB boats are built for you.
We customize:
- Layout
- Fuel capacity
- Electronics
- Seating
- Storage
- Finishes
You’re not trying to make a factory design fit your lifestyle. We build around it. When support is close to home, you enjoy:
- Lower logistics costs
- Shorter wait times
- Warranty support
- Less delays for parts
Engineered for Serious Offshore Use
Caribbean waters are no joke. Strong currents. Rough seas. Long runs. That’s why KSB boats are engineered for offshore performance and tropical conditions.
We focus on:
- Deep-V hull design
- Proper deadrise
- Reinforced structures
- Quality fiberglass layup
- Corrosion resistance
Many of our older boats are still running strong today! Proof that good design lasts.
Quality Is Never Rushed: Built by Hand, Not by Shortcut
Every KSB boat is handcrafted. No shortcuts. No rushing. We continue to innovate and improve with every build. Our build process includes:
We focus on:
- Hand-laid fiberglass
- Multiple quality checks
- Careful finishing
- Professional rigging
- Corrosion resistance
You deal directly with the team who built your boat, not a distant call centre.

What Our Owners Are Saying
Rob S.
We took delivery of our KSB 429 boat in Trinidad in March 2025 and made the crossing to its new home in Grenada in under three hours.
The boat handled beautifully — Kenny’s craftsmanship really shines on the water.
Throughout the build process, Kenny, Wayne, and the entire team were fantastic. They paid close attention to every detail, making the experience smooth and straightforward from our end.
Since arriving in Grenada, the boat has drawn a lot of admiration. We’ve already enjoyed several fishing trips 15 miles offshore, and it continues to perform flawlessly in open water.
It’s a wonderful boat, and choosing Kenny Scott Boats was absolutely the right decision. We couldn’t be happier.

On December 1st 2023, I took delivery of my KSB 429 in Trinidad. I live in the US Virgin Islands which is 600 miles north of Trinidad. This was the 8th Boat Kenny Scott has built for my charter business in U.S.V.I. It is also the longest vessel I have ever owned. KSB 429 looks and feels massive! It handled the 600 mile journey without any discomfort in six to eight foot seas.
The design and looks are impressive. I’ve been stopped by many envious boaters. The vessel rides smooth, very rigid and dry. Powered by three 300 hp Suzukis the fuel mileage is 1.5 mpg with 8 people and 200 gallons of fuel. For a 40’ vessel these numbers are unheard of. During the build Mr. Scott called me very often to make sure I was happy with the layout and location of all installations.
I have known Kenneth Scott for over fifty years, and vouch for his attention to detail and honesty. I highly recommend this vessel to anyone in the market for probably the best 40’ speedboat on the market. The vessel is built with high safety factors especially the strength in the design

I purchased a 43ft. Center console KSB429 boat from Kenny Scott in May 2023 and took possession of the boat in February of 2024 in Trinidad.
I shipped my boat to St. Martin from Trinidad. In St. Martin I rigged it with Triple F300 Yamaha outboards, and we ran the boat from St. Martin to Antigua.
The boat handles the water very well and is a dry running boat. I am very impressed with the overall performance of the boat and the service provided by Kenny Scott Boats. With the Triple F 300 Yamaha we were able to get 60mph with about 1/4 tank of fuel.
I have known Kenny for over 30 years and he has been in the boat building business even longer. Working with Kenny during the build was a great experience and I am looking forward to doing more business with him in the future.
