Designed For Families 


The D-series is designed with families and social gatherings in mind, featuring a host of amenities aimed at maximizing comfort and convenience. Key highlights include a swim platform, built-in cooler, 180-degree swivel helm seat, spacious bow, and a large rear sun pad, making it an ideal choice for extended outings on the water.


New Sporty Aesthetic & Improved Performance


Jerry Newton, President of Brunswick's Venture Boat Group division (a portfolio of brands including Bayliner, Heyday, Quicksilver and Uttern) emphasized that customer feedback played a crucial role in the redesign. "We retained the open and comfortable interior layout that our customers love but added a sportier aesthetic and improved performance with the new hull and elevated bow," Newton said.

D-Series Range


The D-series boats are available in lengths ranging from 20 to 22 feet and are powered exclusively by Mercury Marine engines, with options for both outboard and sterndrive configurations. Some of the standout features include multi-function analog gauges with fog-resistant lenses, an in-floor ski locker, a swim platform with a telescoping ladder, a waterproof four-speaker stereo with Bluetooth capability, a portable head, and a cockpit refrigerator.

Customizable Features


Buyers have the flexibility to customize their D-series boats with various options, including different interior and exterior paint colors, lighting, tower speakers, a glass Simrad screen with engine data, a bow table, and wireless phone charging.

The starting MSRP for the D-series is $34,815, positioning it as an affordable option for boating enthusiasts looking for a blend of performance, style, and functionality.
