2026 • Boston Whaler 22 Dauntless

The undisputed champion of multi-activity versatility and unsinkable performance. The 2026 Boston Whaler 220 Dauntless is built for families and anglers who demand a single boat that can do it all—from skinny-water backwater fishing and coastal exploring to watersports and sunset cruises. Engineered with Boston Whaler’s legendary unsinkable unibond foam-filled hull and a shallow 15-inch draft , this bay boat cuts smoothly through choppy bay waters while keeping everyone dry and stable. Driven by a standard Mercury 200 HP XL FourStroke or the high-output Mercury 250 HP V8 Verado with Digital Throttle & Shift (DTS) , the 220 Dauntless delivers rapid hole-shots, agile tracking, and effortless cruise speeds. Transformative Deck Architecture & Social Zones The strength of the 220 Dauntless lies in its clever convertible seating design, moving seamlessly from a serious fishing machine to a plush family day lounge: Flush-Folding Aft Bench & Casting Deck: The wide rear casting deck features a flush-folding bench seat that flips up instantly to offer comfortable adult seating, or folds completely flat to create an unobstructed fishing platform. Deep Forward Bow Lounge: The bow features a forward-facing lounge seat directly ahead of the console with contoured backrests, flip-up armrests, and a massive integrated storage garage underneath for gear, skis, and rods. Reversible Pilot Seat: The helm leaning post features a multi-position locking backrest that easily transitions from a forward-facing driving seat to an aft-facing fishing station, complete with a slide-out 54-quart cooler underneath. Ergonomic Center Console: Outfitted with a welded 316-L stainless steel grab rail, acrylic windshield, compass, and an enclosed interior compartment that provides a private changing area or space for a portable head. Modern Technology & Upgrades (Configure to Spec) Intuitive Digital Helm: Standard command station featuring an integrated Simrad touchscreen display with SmartCraft Connect , giving the operator seamless access to chartplotting, depth finding, fishfinding sonar, and real-time engine metrics. T-Top & Hardtop Options: Can be equipped with a sleek powder-coated T-Top or a premium fiberglass hardtop (complete with integrated rocket launchers and electronics box), or optioned with a dedicated watersports tower for towing. Complete Fishing Package: Elevates your angling capabilities with an insulated livewell with a blue interior, console-mounted rod holders, raw-water washdown, and dedicated tackle drawers. Premium Audio Integration: Available with a high-output Fusion marine audio upgrade featuring waterproof speakers and a multi-channel amplifier for a concert-quality experience on the water.
