Boston Whaler 290 Outrage (2026-)

Brief Summary

Since 1958, Boston Whaler has defined maritime safety with its legendary "unsinkable" Unibond construction. Originally founded by Dick Fisher, the brand has evolved from simple utility skiffs into a global icon of premium craftsmanship. The 2026 290 Outrage continues this heritage, debuting the cutting-edge WhalerStep hull technology. This dual-stepped design significantly reduces drag and bow rise, providing a stable, dry, and highly efficient platform for those who demand excellence in varying sea conditions.

Designed as a premier multi-purpose vessel, the 290 Outrage prioritizes social interaction without losing its competitive edge. The layout features a deep-V center console with a spacious walk-in head compartment that includes a pull-out shower and vanity. Luxury seating dominates the bow with a plush lounge and wrap-around benches, while the cockpit serves as a flexible hub for entertaining or serious sportfishing. Specialized options like the "Summer Kitchen" with a built-in grill or a high-performance Simrad electronics suite allow owners to tailor the craft to their specific lifestyle.

• WhalerStep Technology: A next-generation stepped hull that delivers a faster, smoother ride with improved fuel economy.
• Adaptive Social Spaces: Quickly transform the bow from a relaxing sun pad into an open casting deck for fishing
• Intuitive Helm Station: Features a full-glass enclosure for weather protection and dual Simrad displays for effortless navigation.
• Unsinkable Security: Built with pressure-injected foam to ensure the vessel remains buoyant and quiet even in heavy swells.
