2027 BOSTON WHALER 280 Dauntless Confronta

Built by Boston Whaler in 2027, the 280 Dauntless is an 8.53-metre centre console motor yacht that combines versatility, seaworthiness and practical design. True to its name, this bay boat is engineered to venture confidently inshore and offshore, offering a balanced platform for both fishing and recreational boating with a wide range of customisation options available.

The 280 Dauntless is equipped with Simrad navigation technology for precise control and enhanced situational awareness. The helm features an innovative captain's chair that transforms into a leaning post or stern-facing bench for trolling, while a spacious forward lounge conceals a large storage garage ideal for dive tanks, tackle and rods. The vessel offers ample rod storage, a standard transom livewell and a pump-out forward fishbox. Available engine options range from a 400-horsepower single installation to multiple dual-engine packages with optional Joystick Piloting. Additional features include optional trolling motor packages, Power Pole stabilisation options, digital switching technology for remote lighting and electronics control, and an optional Seakeeper gyro-stabilising system. Entertainment upgrades feature an improved stereo and RGB lighting, whilst an optional full windshield provides enhanced weather protection and visibility.

The 280 Dauntless appeals to buyers seeking a capable, multi-purpose centre console suitable for day trips, fishing expeditions and weekend cruising. Its legendary unsinkable Boston Whaler hull, combined with practical deck layouts and extensive storage, makes it well-suited to active boaters who value both functionality and seamless adaptability to different pursuits—whether casting inshore or jigging offshore.
