2016 Boston Whaler 320 Vantage

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the 320 Vantage feels bigger than the numbers suggest. The wraparound port lounge converts from forward‑facing to sunpad in seconds, and the helm seats swivel to turn the cockpit into a social nook when you’re on the hook. The enclosed console cabin with a berth and marine head makes long days on the water easier on everyone, especially when the weather turns or kids need a break. High gunwales and deep freeboard keep crew secure offshore, while the hull’s wide bow carries volume forward for a dry, confident ride. Thoughtful touches like stainless toe rails, smart storage for boards and rods, and heavy-duty hardware remind you this is a serious Whaler under the shiny cushions.

For waters that can swing from flat calm to short, choppy fetch in an afternoon, the 320 Vantage is right at home. The unsinkable deep‑V hull softens the lumps when the breeze comes up, and the tall windshield and integrated hardtop give welcome protection on cooler, breezier runs. On milder days, the open bow and flexible cockpit seating make sandbar rafting, shoreline cruising, and harbor tours easy with a crowd. The enclosed head and below‑console retreat extend your season and let you stay out through passing showers. With twin outboards, shallow‑draft exploring of creeks and coves is simple, yet there’s still plenty of range and speed for longer runs to distant anchorages.
