2026 Jasper Marine Defender 22

The Jasper Marine Defender 22 is a 27-foot aluminum runabout built around a deep-V hull designed for stability and a dry ride across varied water conditions—offshore, lakes, or coastal cruising. The lightweight aluminum construction keeps the boat easy to tow and launch while maintaining commercial-grade durability. Twin 400-horsepower Mercury engines power the boat to plane quickly and handle chop, with a cruising speed of 30 knots.

The open bow layout maximizes usable deck space with forward and aft seating, keeping the design accessible for fishing, crabbing, diving, watersports, or day cruising. A shallow draft and beachable hull allow access to beaches, sandbars, and shallow coves unreachable by deeper-draft boats. The self-bailing cockpit adds practical functionality for active use.

Joystick control is available on this model. The boat features one head and can be ordered with an enclosed bow option that includes a cuddy berth, allowing customization to suit different uses and preferences.
