Built by Boston Whaler in 2027, the Boston Whaler 280 Dauntless is an 8.53-meter center console motor yacht that combines practical versatility with offshore capability. True to its name, this bay boat is designed to be fearless and ready for adventure, offering a well-balanced package for both inshore and offshore pursuits.
The 280 Dauntless is equipped with Simrad navigation technology for precise control, a versatile helm seat that transforms from captain's chair to leaning post to stern-facing bench, and a spacious forward lounge with integrated storage for dive equipment and fishing gear. Key fishing features include ample rod storage, a standard transom livewell, and a pump-out forward fishbox. The yacht offers flexible propulsion options ranging from a 400-horsepower single engine to dual engine packages with joystick piloting, and can be configured with trolling motor packages, Power Pole stabilization options, and an optional Seakeeper gyro-stabilizing system. Additional options include digital switching technology for remote lighting and electronics control, windlass and beach boarding ladder, a full windshield with wipers, an improved stereo system with RGB lighting, and a large swim platform with optional fold-out patio.
This yacht is ideally suited for buyers seeking a capable day boat and fishing platform that can venture beyond the breakers with confidence. The 280 Dauntless appeals to anglers and water enthusiasts who value practical functionality, versatility, and Whaler's unsinkable hull design without compromising on comfort or styling.
