280 Dauntless
The flagship of our bay boat family, the 280 Dauntless is a multifunctional center console that is versatile enough to venture offshore for big game. True to its name, this 28-foot bay boat is fearless and ready for any adventure, with a wide range of options and packages available to tailor it to your specific angling needs— whether that’s inshore casting for reds or far past the breakers jigging for snapper. Superb styling, ideal layout and Whaler’s legendary unsinkable hull make the 280 Dauntless a true saltwater champion.
