2026 Jasper Marine Defender 22

The Jasper Marine Defender 22 is a 27-foot aluminum runabout built for versatility across fishing, watersports, and coastal cruising. Its deep-V hull design delivers a stable, dry ride in variable conditions, while the shallow draft and beachable construction allow access to shallow water and remote spots unavailable to deeper-drafted boats. The lightweight aluminum frame keeps the boat easy to tow and launch.

The layout centers on an open bow with forward seating and a self-bailing cockpit, with an optional enclosed cuddy cabin forward. The design prioritizes accessible space for fishing, diving, crabbing, watersports, or day cruising. A single head is included.

Power comes from twin Mercury engines totaling 450 hp, enabling quick planing and confident handling in rough water. Cruising speed reaches 30 knots. The combination of performance and shallow draft makes the boat practical for both adventure and everyday use on water.
