2026 Jasper Marine Defender 22

The Jasper Marine Defender 22 is a 27-foot aluminum runabout built for versatility across offshore, coastal, and inland waters. Its deep-V hull design delivers a stable, dry ride in variable conditions, while the lightweight construction keeps the boat easy to tow and launch. Power comes from a single 300-horsepower Mercury engine, capable of cruising at 30 knots.

The open bow layout provides forward seating with flexible accommodation options—the bow area can be configured as open seating or enclosed with a cuddy berth. Aft seating rounds out the layout, with a self-bailing cockpit and a head aboard. The shallow draft and beachable hull allow access to sandbars, coves, and shallow anchorages beyond the reach of deeper-hulled boats.

The boat works equally well for fishing, diving, watersports, or day cruising with family and friends. Usable deck space and accessibility are prioritized throughout the design, making it straightforward to fish, launch water toys, or simply enjoy time on the water.
