Built by Boston Whaler in 2023, the Boston Whaler 280 Dauntless is an 8.53-meter motor yacht that combines confident performance with refined comfort and genuine versatility. Designed for owners who want to make the most of their time on the water, this center console delivers a balanced platform for everything from offshore fishing to coastal exploration and family cruising.
Powered by twin Mercury 250 V8 AMS outboards with only 80 hours of operation, the 280 Dauntless offers smooth and responsive power. The vessel is equipped with a comprehensive electronics package centered on a 16" Simrad EVO3S display, complemented by VHF radio, satellite weather and radio capability. Additional onboard features include a Power-Pole, hydraulic windlass, raw water washdown system, bow seating with removable table, dedicated casting platform, rod storage, bow sun shade, and beach boarding ladder. The spacious, well-considered layout supports both serious fishing operations and comfortable family outings.
This 280 Dauntless is well-suited to private owners and families who value flexibility and capable performance. Whether exploring the backwaters and shallow waters of Southwest Florida, cruising the Gulf islands, or anchoring at favorite sandbars, the yacht offers the freedom and usability to support a wide range of water-based activities. The vessel's efficient design makes it equally at home on a productive fishing morning or a relaxed day with friends and family.
