Built by Boston Whaler in 2027, the Boston Whaler 280 Dauntless is an 8.53-meter center console motor yacht that combines practical design with genuine offshore capability. True to its name, this bay boat is purpose-built for adventure, offering a balanced platform for both inshore and offshore fishing while maintaining the versatility for broader boating pursuits.
The 280 Dauntless is equipped with seamlessly integrated Simrad navigation technology for precise control and enhanced onboard management. The innovative helm features a multi-function captain's chair that transforms into a leaning post or stern-facing bench for trolling operations. A spacious forward lounge conceals a large storage garage for dive tanks, buckets, and fishing rods. Fishability is a core strength: the yacht offers ample rod storage, a standard transom livewell, and a pump-out forward fishbox. Engine options range from single 400-horsepower to dual-engine packages with available Joystick Piloting. Additional features include optional trolling motor packages, Power Pole stabilization options, Digital Switching Technology for remote lighting and electronics control, large swim platforms with optional fold-out patio, and optional windlass and beach boarding ladder. A comprehensive windshield package is available for enhanced protection and visibility.
The 280 Dauntless suits buyers seeking a capable, multifunctional center console for serious fishing operations—whether targeting inshore species or venturing offshore for big game. The flexible customization options and robust hull design appeal to anglers who value both performance and reliability in varied water conditions.
