2026 Jasper Marine Defender 22

The Jasper Marine Defender 22 is a 27-foot aluminum runabout built for serious utility across varied conditions. Its deep-V hull delivers a stable, dry ride whether offshore, on lakes, or coastal waters, while shallow draft and beachable design let you access shallow areas and sand bars unavailable to deeper-hulled boats. The lightweight aluminum construction keeps the boat nimble and easy to tow and launch.

The open bow layout prioritizes usable space with forward and aft seating arrangements suited to fishing, diving, watersports, and day cruising. An optional enclosed bow with cuddy berth is available. A single 300-horsepower Mercury gasoline engine powers the boat to plane quickly and cruises at 30 knots, while the self-bailing cockpit adds practical seaworthiness. One head is included.

The Defender 22 balances performance with accessibility—purposeful rather than luxurious, this boat is designed to work hard and adapt to whatever the water demands.
