Built by Boston Whaler in 2027, the Boston Whaler 280 Dauntless is an 8.53 metre centre console motor yacht that combines rugged capability with versatile design. This vessel exemplifies a balanced approach to modern bay boat construction, offering the confidence to venture both inshore and offshore with Boston Whaler's renowned unsinkable hull as your foundation.
The 280 Dauntless is equipped with a comprehensive suite of features designed for serious fishing and water pursuits. Standard amenities include a transom livewell, forward fishbox with pump-out capability, and generous rod storage throughout the vessel. The innovative helm seat transforms between a captain's chair, leaning post, and stern-facing trolling vantage point, while a spacious forward lounge conceals a large storage garage for dive tanks, rods and equipment. Power options range from a single 400 horsepower engine to multiple dual engine packages with joystick piloting capability. Navigation and control are handled by seamlessly integrated Simrad technology, supported by digital switching for remote lighting and electronics management. Optional enhancements include a 36V MotorGuide XL-5 trolling motor, Power Pole stabilisers, Seakeeper gyro-stabilising system, full windshield with wipers, windlass, beach boarding ladder, and an optional fold-out swim platform patio. Entertainment is upgraded through improved stereo and RGB lighting systems.
This vessel is well-suited to buyers seeking a capable, multi-purpose platform for fishing, cruising and water sports. The 280 Dauntless appeals to those who value practical functionality, weather resilience and the ability to customise equipment to match specific angling and recreational needs, whether inshore or offshore.
