2016 Boston Whaler 110 Sport

Lightweight and uncomplicated, this 110 Sport is the kind of boat you’ll actually use on a whim. The open interior makes it easy to move around when loading coolers or beach gear, and the low freeboard lets you step on and off at a sandbar without gymnastics. Its compact size means you can tuck into skinny creeks and backwater coves that bigger hulls simply can’t reach. Maintenance is minimal: rinse, cover, and you’re done. With the classic Whaler unsinkable construction underfoot, it’s a confidence-inspiring platform for teaching kids to drive, running the dog to shore, or sneaking out solo at first light with a coffee and a casting rod.

In this region’s mix of sheltered bays, narrow channels, and tidal flats, the 110 Sport really shines. Its modest draft lets you explore oyster bars, mangrove cuts, and tucked-away beaches without worrying about bumping bottom. Afternoon chop on open stretches is handled well by the solid Whaler hull, yet the boat remains small enough to launch at older ramps and crowded marinas with limited space. It’s easy to store in a standard garage, a big plus where dockage can be scarce or expensive. As a nimble tender or primary runabout, it’s perfectly suited to short hops between waterfront homes, moorings, and nearby islands.
