2026 Jasper Marine Defender 22

The Defender 22 is a 26-foot aluminum pilothouse built by Jasper Marine with twin 400-horsepower Mercury gasoline engines. Compact enough to tow on a trailer despite its 8.5-foot beam, the boat combines stability and maneuverability with practical design suited to fishing, day cruising, weekend trips, and commuting.

The cabin features a fully insulated walk-through design with heating and cooling systems for comfort across varying conditions. The layout prioritizes access and functionality: the bow provides storage and beach access, while the generous aft cockpit serves as a working and social space. The aluminum hull construction offers durability and low maintenance alongside structural strength.

Jasper Marine collaborates with established marine engineers and designers, manufacturing in Gibsons, British Columbia. The boat emphasizes craftsmanship and attention to detail in both construction and finishing.
