The 2026 Boston Whaler 280 Vantage is a 27-foot fiberglass runabout powered by twin Mercury engines delivering 600 horsepower. Built with a 9.5-foot beam, the boat combines responsive handling with the ability to manage a range of water conditions, from calm bays to rougher offshore scenarios.
The design centers on a functional cockpit layout with a modest cabin area and a head compartment. The boat incorporates multiple seating arrangements across the cockpit and cabin spaces, with provisions for both sun exposure and shade. The configuration supports both casual day cruising and extended time on the water.
This is a new boat built to current Boston Whaler standards, featuring modern construction and contemporary equipment typical of the 280 Vantage model line.
