2026 • Boston Whaler 285 Conquest

The ultimate all-weather performer. The 2026 Boston Whaler 285 Conquest perfectly balances serious offshore fishability with plush cabin accommodations, making it an exceptional multi-season platform for hard-core anglers and adventurous families alike. Engineered with Boston Whaler’s legendary unsinkable unibond foam-filled hull and an aggressive 20-degree transom deadrise, this cabin cruiser slices through rough open-water chop while ensuring a dry, secure, and rock-solid ride. Driven by Twin Mercury 250 HP V8 Verado outboards featuring Digital Throttle & Shift (DTS) and Joystick Piloting (JPO), the 285 Conquest delivers exhilarating cruise speeds, precise handling, and effortless 360-degree docking control even in challenging currents and tight slips.

The rugged helm deck is masterfully configured to keep you commanding the waters comfortably regardless of changing weather conditions:

• Integrated Fiberglass Hardtop: Comes standard with integrated lighting, speakers, and a tempered glass windshield system featuring an electric opening vent and dual windshield wipers. Can be configured with optional full side glass for maximum shelter.

• Convertible Port Lounge: Cleverly designed portside companion seating adapts effortlessly, functioning as a forward-facing seat, an aft-facing lounger, or a flat sunpad.

• Spacious Command Station: Outfitted with a premium stainless steel steering wheel, dual molded-in footrests, and a large black acrylic dash prepped for high-end electronics.

True to its heritage, the 285 Conquest is fully equipped to head out past the jetty and handle serious blue-water action:

• Expansive Cockpit: Self-bailing cockpit features a safe 28-inch interior freeboard, padded coaming bolsters, and stainless steel toe rails.

• Livewell & Fishboxes: Includes a 26-gallon insulated livewell with a light and blue interior to keep bait healthy, paired with two large in-deck fishboxes equipped with independent pump-outs.

• Rigged and Ready: Outfitted with 4 gunnel-mounted stainless steel rod holders, 3 transom-mounted rod holders, under-gunnel rod racks, and a dedicated bait prep center with a solid-surface countertop and integrated sink.

Step through the lockable acrylic sliding door into a light-filled, beautifully appointed cabin that sleeps 4 comfortably:

• Forward V-Berth & Dinette: Features plush cushions with a gas-assist wood dinette table that quickly converts into a spacious double berth for overnighting.

• Mid-Double Berth: A second dedicated double berth is positioned tucked away under the companionway steps, complete with convenience receptacles and accent lighting.

• Fully Equipped Galley: Rich wood grain cabinetry houses a Corian solid-surface countertop, dynamic single-burner stove, microwave, deep galley sink, and a dual-voltage (12V/120V) refrigerator.
