Boston Whaler Yachts

Founded in Massachusetts in 1958, Boston Whaler is known for building “the boat that cannot sink.” A Whaler's foam-cored fiberglass hull keeps it afloat, whether it runs into shoals or is fired upon by automatic rifles. Not surprisingly, Boston Whalers are the favored boats for coast guards, navies, and police forces worldwide, but the Whaler isn't any less popular with fishermen and recreational sailors. Models include the SuperSport, Sport/Tender, Montauk, Dauntless, Ventura, Outrage, and Conquest.

Whalers generally use outboard motors and have center steering consoles. Many of Boston Whaler's customers are repeat buyers, who were so satisfied with their first experience that they've come back for more. The Whaler receives high praise in online venues like Power and Motor Yacht, Boat Test, Yachting Magazine, and Boating Life.

Boston Whalers are designed for a lifetime of safe, carefree boating, and the company backs every boat with a limited ten-year transferable hull warranty. Depending on the model, a new Whaler can cost anywhere from $25,000 to $450,000, while a used Whaler can go as high as $150,000.
