Boston Whaler has introduced two new models for 2024, including the Conquest 365 and Vantage 210. Both have set new benchmarks in their respective categories, appearing at the Miami International Boat Show last week, where they earned innovation awards. Let's delve into the key aspects and innovative features
Conquest 365
The 365 Conquest seamlessly blends versatility, accommodating nearshore overnight stays, intensive offshore fishing ventures, multi-day journeys, or simply an evening of leisure. It features a helm equipped with dual 19" Simrad® displays, easy-to-locate switches, and a captain's chair that can be adjusted for comfort. The convertible port lounge offers forward-facing, dining, and full lounge configurations. A luxurious cabin includes a queen bed that can be converted into a dining area. The boat took home the 2024 Miami Innovation Award in the "Cabin Cruisers, Motor Yachts & Trawler" category, recognized for its drawer style seats, point of use storage and moving the galley topside.

Vantage 210
The 210 Vantage introduces a modern reinterpretation of the classic dual console design, completely redesigned from the bottom up. It's crafted to address the changing preferences of the boating community, with a particular emphasis on accommodating the needs of young families and those transitioning into their empty nester phase. This model distinguishes itself through a unique combination of features, designed for both simplicity in operation and versatility. It incorporates a flexible transom that serves well for both cruising and fishing activities, alongside a layout that prioritizes social interaction with ample seating space. Like the Conquest 365, the 210 Vantage also took home an Innovation Award in the "Cuddy Cabins, Bowriders, And Deck Boats category, noted for its convertible port side lounge.
