2026 Jasper Marine Defender 22

The Jasper Marine Defender 22 is a 27-foot aluminum runabout built for versatility across fresh and salt water. Its deep-V hull delivers a stable, dry ride in varied conditions, while the shallow draft and beachable design allow access to shallow water, sandbars, and coves. Lightweight aluminum construction keeps the boat easy to tow and launch.

The open bow layout prioritizes usable space with forward seating and an aft cockpit, accommodating fishing, diving, watersports, or day cruising. An enclosed bow option with a cuddy berth is available. The self-bailing cockpit and single head support extended outings.

Twin Mercury engines totaling 400 horsepower provide responsive acceleration and cruising speed of 30 knots. Joystick control is standard, simplifying maneuvering in tight quarters. The design planes quickly and handles chop with confidence while remaining manageable in weight and footprint.
