Built by Boston Whaler in 2027, the Boston Whaler 280 Dauntless is an 8.53-metre centre console motor yacht that combines versatility, safety and practical design. True to its name, this 28-foot bay boat is engineered to handle both inshore and offshore conditions, offering buyers a genuine all-purpose platform for fishing, cruising and water-based adventures.
The 280 Dauntless features Boston Whaler's legendary unsinkable hull construction and a well-thought-out layout designed around angler and watersport enthusiast needs. Key equipment includes integrated Simrad navigation technology, a multifunctional helm seat that transforms between captain's chair, leaning post and stern-facing trolling position, and a spacious forward lounge with integrated storage garage for gear. The yacht offers ample rod storage, a standard transom livewell, and a pump-out forward fishbox. Engine options range from single 400-horsepower to multiple dual-engine packages with optional Joystick Piloting. Additional systems available include an optional 36V MotorGuide XL-5 trolling motor, Power Pole stability options, a Seakeeper gyro-stabilizing system, digital switching technology for remote lighting and electronics control, and an optional full windshield with wipers.
The 280 Dauntless appeals to buyers seeking a practical, capable day-boat or weekend cruiser focused on fishing and water sports. Its shallow-draft design and fishing-specific equipment make it ideal for anglers working inshore grounds or venturing offshore, while the versatile helm and spacious deck support a wider range of water pursuits from diving to entertaining guests.
