2017 Boston Whaler 270 Vantage

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the 270 Vantage is laid out to keep everyone happy all day long. The wraparound bow seating with removable cushions turns the front of the boat into a lounging den, while the clever portside seat quickly converts from forward-facing to a full-length sun lounge. The hardtop and full-height windshield give you real protection when the breeze kicks up, yet still feel open and airy. A deep cockpit, wide walkways, and stainless grab rails add confidence when kids or guests are moving around. Add in the swim platform access and transom door, and you’ve got an easy, inviting setup for snorkeling, sandbar hopping, or just floating off the stern.

In these waters, conditions can change from flat calm to choppy in a blink, and the 270 Vantage is built to handle that with composure. Its deep, secure cockpit and broad beam keep everyone comfortable when afternoon wind chop rolls through. The dual-console layout and substantial windshield give welcome shelter on long runs between sandbars, reefs, and waterfront hangouts, while still offering plenty of open space for sun and breeze. With its agile size, it slips into tighter slips and busy marinas more easily than larger offshore rigs, yet still feels capable and confident when you point the bow toward open water for a quick offshore run or a sunset cruise.
