Boston Whaler had all hands on deck for their big announcement at the recent Miami International Boat Show.
The longstanding Edgewater, Florida boatbuilder had major local support, not to mention a large media gathering, as they gave attendees a thorough walkthrough of the all-new 365 Conquest.
Whaler says the 365 will complete their popular Conquest series, which also includes the 285, 325, and 405 models. Dubbed the "SUV of the Sea," the 365 Conquest features nearly all the features and stylings as the 405, albeit slightly scaled down and mixed with innovative new tech and design features.
“Our extensive market research showed buyers were searching for a model with high adaptability that could truly take them anywhere and be ready to pivot within the same trip,” said Lenn Scholz, President, Boston Whaler, in a press release.
“The 365 Conquest is unique in that it bridges the gap between its sister models with all-in-one capabilities like the smaller 325 and the unapologetic luxury of the 405.”
The company calls the 365 Conquest "a capable multi-day entertainer and formidable fishing boat built with Boston Whaler’s legendary unsinkable craftmanship." The new design comes standard with triple 400 horsepower V10 DTS Mercury Verado engines with joystick piloting, which will serve offshore anglers and long distance cruisers alike.

During the launch event, Scholz also commended Whaler's commitment to responding to the needs of their devoted ownership base. Scholz told the crowd, "It's only appropriate that here in the grand stage of Miami that we launch the 365 Conquest. It's an absolutely beautiful boat packed full of innovation. It's got the right content for fishing, for cruising, for entertaining, for overnighting. The 365 Conquest truly delivers the opportunity to boat 365 days a year," he said.
Her standout features include a highly customizable floorplan for both fishing and entertaining, a multi-functional portside seating configuration for multiple guests, an integrated livewell, a boarding/dive door, ample rod storage, and multiple outrigger options.
The helm includes dual 19" electronic displays integrated with Simrad technology and an optional portside display, quick-find switches, and a galley up design that includes a sink, cooktop, and storage. The expansive cockpit also offers U-shaped seating and a pull-out aft bench. The hardtop offers canvas storage and a manual-flip sunroof.
