Built by Boston Whaler in 2026, the 280 Dauntless is an 8.53-metre motor yacht that sets a new standard in versatility and modern design. With its striking Platinum Gelcoat hull sides, matching hardtop underside, and sharp chrome graphics, this vessel combines refined aesthetics with purposeful engineering for the active boater seeking comfort and capability.
Powered by twin 300 horsepower Yamaha engines, the 280 Dauntless delivers confident and agile performance across a wide range of on-water activities. Key features include electric trim tabs with indicator for stable riding in varying conditions, an anchor package with windlass and stainless steel anchor, a Deluxe Simrad electronics package with 16-inch display for intuitive navigation, First Mate dual engine system for safety and diagnostics, VHF radio communication, and a comprehensive dual battery package with charging system. The boat is equipped with full-height sideglass and windshield with vent, a bow casting platform with cushions and table, a deluxe leaning post with storage, cockpit table, beach boarding ladder, raw water washdown, and vacuum flush head.
The 280 Dauntless is ideally suited to buyers seeking a versatile day boat and weekend cruiser that performs equally well for fishing, entertaining, or exploring scenic coastal waters. Its thoughtful layout and premium comfort amenities make it attractive to active families and boaters who value both performance and on-water convenience without the complexity of larger vessels.
