Introducing the 2026 Boston Whaler 285 Conquest, specifically crafted for boating on the Great Lakes and Lake Erie.

The enclosed helm, climate-controlled cabin, and luxurious interior design make the 285 Conquest a top choice for Great Lakes enthusiasts. With a forward berth, mid-cabin accommodations, electric head, and a well-equipped galley, it promises comfort for both day trips and overnight excursions.
