2014 Boston Whaler 270 Vantage

Step aboard and you’ll notice how thoughtfully this 270 Vantage is laid out for a full day on the water. The deep, secure bow seating and high freeboard give a confident, dry ride when the chop kicks up, while the convertible port lounge lets crew stretch out facing forward or aft as the mood changes. The compact head compartment is a genuine game-changer for longer outings, adding privacy and comfort for family and guests. Wide walkways and solid handholds make moving from cockpit to bow feel safe even with kids aboard. Add in the generous swim platform and transom access, and it’s as easy to slip in for a swim as it is to haul in a striper.

In waters where conditions can swing from flat calm to lumpy in one tide cycle, the 270 Vantage really earns its keep. The unsinkable hull and deep-V entry soften steep afternoon chop, while the dual-console layout shields guests from wind on brisk runs home. It’s just the right size to explore tight coves, moorings, and shallow harbors, yet has the offshore pedigree to chase birds along the rips when the bite turns on. With twin power, you get both reassuring redundancy and confident control around crowded channels, making it a smart, versatile choice for this boating area.
