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 a range of conditions, from offshore to lakes and coastal cruising. Powered by a single 300-horsepower Mercury engine, the boat planes quickly and cruises at 30 knots while remaining shallow-drafted and beachable, making it accessible to sandbars and shallow coves. The lightweight aluminum construction keeps it easy to tow and launch.

The layout prioritizes usable space with open bow seating forward and aft cockpit seating, while maintaining accessibility for fishing, diving, watersports, and casual day cruising. A self-bailing cockpit and single head support extended use. The design accommodates both an open bow configuration and an optional enclosed cuddy cabin forward.

Built for versatility, the Defender 22 handles chop with ease and adapts to fishing trips, wake sports, family outings, or exploring remote water access. The shallow draft and beachable hull design allow operation in waters where deeper-drafted boats cannot venture.
