Built by Boston Whaler in 2027, the Boston Whaler 280 Dauntless is an 8.53 metre centre console motor yacht that combines practical versatility with genuine offshore capability. True to its heritage, this bay boat delivers a balanced offering of comfort, fishability and presence on the water, designed to perform equally well in shallow coastal waters or further offshore.
The 280 Dauntless is equipped with Simrad navigation technology for precise control and enhanced onboard management. Key features include a versatile helm seat that transforms into a leaning post or stern-facing bench for trolling observation, a spacious forward lounge with integrated storage garage, ample rod storage, a transom livewell and pump-out forward fishbox. Engine options range from a single 400 horsepower configuration to dual engine packages with optional Joystick Piloting. Additional fishing-focused equipment includes optional trolling motor packages (pre-rig panel or fully installed 36V MotorGuide XL-5), Power Pole stabilisation options, and optional windlass and beach boarding ladder. A large swim platform with optional fold-out patio expands recreational possibilities, whilst optional Seakeeper gyro-stabilisation and full windshield provide comfort and visibility in varying conditions. Digital switching technology manages lighting and electronics remotely for improved battery efficiency, and enhanced entertainment options include improved audio systems and RGB lighting.
The 280 Dauntless suits buyers seeking a capable, multi-purpose day boat or weekend cruiser with a strong emphasis on fishing performance. Its unsinkable hull, flexible layout and comprehensive equipment options appeal to anglers and water enthusiasts who value both inshore versatility and the confidence to venture further offshore when conditions permit.
