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 varied conditions, while the shallow draft and beachable profile let you access shallow waters and sandbars inaccessible to deeper-hulled boats. The aluminum construction keeps weight low, making the boat easy to tow and launch.

The open-bow layout prioritizes usable space with forward and aft seating areas positioned to accommodate fishing, diving, or casual day-use activity. A cuddy cabin option with berth is available for those needing additional shelter. The self-bailing cockpit manages water efficiently during active use.

Power comes from a single 300-horsepower Mercury gasoline engine, capable of planing quickly and cruising at 30 knots. The combination of responsive power and lightweight build makes the boat nimble and efficient across a range of water conditions and uses.
