2025 Jasper Marine Defender 22

Step aboard the Defender 22 and you’ll notice how much thought went into the working layout. High, secure coamings and wide side decks make it easy to move forward when the weather pipes up. Big windows and a clean, rattle‑free helm give you excellent sightlines when you’re running in chop or threading tight channels. The self‑bailing deck, oversized scuppers, and deep cockpit feel purpose‑built for serious fishing or hauling pots. Inside, there’s clever storage tucked everywhere—under seats, along the sides, and in the transom—so gear stays off the deck and out of the way. The hull feels solid and quiet underway, with a confident, predictable ride that makes longer runs far less tiring.

Waters here demand a boat that can handle fast-changing conditions, tight moorage, and mixed-use days, and the Defender 22 fits that profile perfectly. Its compact footprint makes it easy to trailer to different launches, slip into smaller docks, and explore shallow or narrow inlets. The pilothouse protection and insulated cabin keep you comfortable when mornings are cool and the breeze comes up in the afternoon. Robust aluminum construction shrugs off log-strewn passages, rocky shorelines, and frequent use. With efficient power and a practical working deck, it’s just as at home chasing salmon and crab as it is handling daily commuting, gear transport, or spontaneous evening cruises close to home.
