Boston Whaler 240 Vantage

New Build
Boston Whaler 240 Vantage  A 24-Foot Dual Console Adventure Machine
The Boston Whaler 240 Vantage is a complete, customizable dual-console boat designed to deliver everything from fun family outings to serious offshore fishing. At 24 feet in length, it strikes an ideal balance between performance, comfort, and versatility, all while offering the legendary unsinkability that Boston Whaler is known for. Because each 240 Vantage is built to order, you can tailor every aspect?from layout to power options, from shade to storage creating a boat that reflects your unique lifestyle and priorities.

Unsinkable Safety & Superior Build
Every Boston Whaler boat begins with a foam-filled Unibond fiberglass hull. The 240 Vantage lives up to this legacy. Even if fully swamped, the boat remains afloat, giving owners unmatched peace of mind. What's more, the hull is built with multi-layered construction, bonded deck, and stainless steel framing for structural rigidity and long-term durability. Built with high-precision molding, the boat?s finish resists wear, corrosion, and UV damage. That means lower maintenance and higher confidence in all kinds of conditions.

Exceptional Dimensions & Capacities
The 240 Vantage measures:

Length Overall: 24 feet

Beam: 8 feet 6 inches

Draft (engine up): ~23 inches

Dry Weight: Approximately 4,200 pounds

Fuel Capacity: 120 gallons

Passenger Capacity: 12 people or ~2,080 pounds

Despite its substantial size, this versatile machine is still trailerable, courtesy of its streamlined mid-size boat profile and included trailers that fit most standard garages. The generous fuel capacity and robust build also make it ideal for extended cruising and overnight ventures.

Configurable Power & Performance
The standard engine platform is a 250-horsepower outboard, often upgraded to a 300 or even 350-hp engine. You'll appreciate quick acceleration, effortless planing, and a sporty top end?a typical 300-hp configuration is capable of hitting high 40s to 50 mph. Yet even cruising in the 20 to 30 knot range delivers efficient fuel economy and a remarkably smooth ride. The hull's deep-vee design ages well in chop, while spray rails, lifting strakes, and transom deadrise ensure crisp handling.

Flexible Power Management
The 240 Vantage can run as a single-engine boat, but many buyers opt for twin engines to maximize redundancy, convenience, and maneuvering. Twin-engine configurations allow confident docking, greater control in tight spaces, and improved safety offshore. Fuel economy remains impressive, and options include the latest digital throttles, intelligent steering, and autopilot interfaces.

Dual Console Layout for Versatility
Central to the Vantage's appeal is its dual-console design. It features two separate compartments: one on the port side and one on the starboard. The port console includes an enclosed head and sink, perfect for full-day comfort on board. Both consoles are easy to access from multiple walkways and include secure storage space for gear, electronics, and personal items.

Between the consoles, a wide passage leads to the bow deck. There, you can add optional windlass-powered anchor lockers and telescoping boarding ladders. This feature-rich layout makes boarding from a dock, beach, or tender seamless and comfortable.

Comfort & Seating Configurations
Portside Lounge
The port console features impressive lounge seating with under-seat storage, cup holders, and optional removable cushions for comfort. With the optional cockpit utility center, the seating area can be configured to accommodate a sink, cooler, or integrated livewell?perfect for entertaining, prepping snacks, or staging fishing tackle.

Convertible Bow Area
The bow seating features wraparound lounges with storage beneath. Optional cushions and strategically placed drink holders turn the bow into a relaxing salon at anchor or while underway. With the anchored windlass option, the bow area becomes a convenient anchoring station complete with a boarding ladder.

Aft Deck Functionality
At the stern, optional fishing upgrades include a centerline fishbox or livewell. Foldable stern seats and walk-through transoms make the cockpit ideal for fishing, lounging, or serving as a kids, play area. Rails and bolsters ensure safety during all activities.

Fishing Features & Options
For dedicated anglers, the 240 Vantage offers various tournament-ready options. These include:

Rotatable aft fishboxes and built-in rod storage

Freshwater and raw-water washdown stations for clean-ups

Multiple rod holders integrated into consoles, gunnels, and hardtop

Optional livewell under the leaning post

Bait prep stations, coolers, and tackle storage space

With these advancements, the Vantage becomes both a family boat and a tournament-level offshore rig in one package.

Entertainment & Onboard Functionality

LED lighting on deck, in consoles, and around the helm

Helm Station & Navigation
The helm on the starboard console includes a polished fiberglass dash, room for large-platform electronics, and practical analog and digital gauges. You,ll enjoy easy operation thanks to ample visibility through windshield glass and side windows. Upper helm upgrades include stylish acrylic dash faceplates, performance steering, throttles, and integrated control systems with VesselView-style diagnostics.

Choose Simrad navigation gear to tech-up your helm with chartplotting, sonar, radar, autopilot, and touchscreen controls. Dual-screen helm clusters are commonly found in luxury configurations.

Hardtop & Shade Packages
The optional integrated hardtop stretches from console to aft, providing shade, weather protection, and mounting surfaces for lights and antennas. Crafted from fiberglass or powder-coated aluminum, it's available with molded-in rod holders, grab rails, integrated lighting, electronics domes, and lifejacket storage. For those who prefer an open boat, Whaler offers a low-profile arch without shade, maintaining a sporty footprint.

Storage & Smart Layout
The design of the 240 Vantage emphasizes smart storage. Highlights include:

Lockable console storage under each helm

Bow lounges with spacious stowage below

Overhead and under-bridge lockers

Cooler space in the utility center or beneath the leaning post

Dedicated storage for lines, fenders, tools, and more

Fold-away aft seats that uncover recessed compartments

All storage areas are designed to be secure, water-safe, and easy to access. Hatches and covers are built with marine-grade seals to keep interiors dry under most conditions.

Trailering & Outdoor Access
Despite its size and capabilities, the 240 Vantage can be trailered?though many owners opt to keep it in water. When trailering, the package includes a tandem-axle trailer with hydraulic disc brakes, corrosion-resistant hardware, LED lighting, and remote tongue assembly for easy garage storage.

When on the water, the boat features swim platforms, fold-down ladders, secondary boarding ladders at the bow, and high rails for safe boarding from docks and tenders.
