2027 Boston Whaler 280 Dauntless

The flagship of our bay boat family, the 280 Dauntless is a multifunctional center console that is versatile enough to venture offshore for big game. True to its name, this 28-foot bay boat is fearless and ready for any adventure, with a wide range of options and packages available to tailor it to your specific angling needs— whether that’s inshore casting for reds or far past the breakers jigging for snapper. Superb styling, ideal layout and Whaler’s legendary unsinkable hull make the 280 Dauntless a true saltwater champion.

With unmatched fishing capabilities, offshore confidence, a spacious design, and countless comfortable amenities, this boat has everything you need to get more out of your on-the-water experience. Leisurely cruise close to home, or venture way out for a big catch, with Dauntless you don’t have to choose.

Enjoy an uninhibited connection to the water with a large stern platform, which eases the boarding experience, whether you’re coming off the dock, or out of the water. Swimmers will enjoy the optional swim patio, allowing for easy entry and exit.

The 280 Dauntless is the ideal platform for all boating activities – fishing, watersports, cruising, beaching, hosting friends and family – and just about everything in between. A stern bench seat with folding backrest adds ultimate versatility to handle it all.

The open bow design allows for free-flowing movement around the boat, adding to the ease and comfort of the onboard experience. Spacious bow lounge seats, armrests, flip-up bolster seats and an optional bow table make the 280 Dauntless the ideal platform for entertaining friends and family.

For anglers, the 280 Dauntless was designed to include fishing-focused amenities such as a large casting platform, a 19-gallon livewell, a large fishbox with pump-out, and increased storage capacity throughout the boat to effectively store all fishing gear.
