The Boston Whaler 365 Conquest is not just another express cruiser — it’s a statement. With the release of this model, Boston Whaler has solidified its position in the hybrid offshore market, offering a boat that is equally at home chasing tuna offshore as it is hosting sunset cruises along the coast. Whether you’re looking for a hardcore fishing platform, a capable overnight cruiser, or a bit of both, the 365 Conquest delivers with versatility, durability, and attention to detail.

Performance and Power
The standard engine configuration for the 365 Conquest is triple Mercury V10 400-hp Verado outboards, offering a smooth and powerful ride. These engines deliver excellent fuel economy relative to their horsepower and are known for their quiet operation and easy maintenance.
Top speed is reported at over 55 mph, with a comfortable cruising speed around 35–40 mph. The joystick piloting system with Skyhook digital anchoring, integrated autopilot, and Active Trim features give the captain fingertip control and ease of docking — ideal for tight marinas or windy offshore anchorages.
Hull and Ride Quality
As expected from Boston Whaler, the 365 Conquest uses their signature unsinkable Unibond™ construction, providing confidence in any condition. The deep-V hull slices efficiently through chop, offering stability whether you’re heading to the canyons for mahi or cruising with family along the intercoastal.
A high freeboard keeps passengers dry and secure, while wide walkways and heavy-duty stainless rails offer safe movement around the deck. This is a boat that begs to go offshore — and stay there comfortably.
Fishing Features That Don’t Compromise
This boat is absolutely tournament-capable, with:
- Two large insulated in-floor fishboxes with macerators
- Pressurized 80-gallon livewell with acrylic viewing window
- Transom prep station with tackle storage, sink, cutting board, and grill
- 17 rod holders and under-gunnel rod storage
- Optional Seakeeper 3 gyro stabilizer for a flat deck while drifting or trolling
It’s designed for serious anglers but retains the finish and detailing of a premium cruiser. For instance, the optional outriggers, freezer plates, and FLIR camera integrations make it truly offshore ready, while the cockpit seating folds away to create a wide, open deck space.
Comfort and Cabin Amenities
Unlike many fishing-forward vessels, the 365 Conquest offers an impressive air-conditioned cabin that sleeps four adults and entertains more.
Interior Layout Includes:
- Spacious V-berth/dinette conversion
- Fully equipped galley with microwave, refrigerator/freezer, sink, and dual-burner stove
- Enclosed head with vanity, VacuFlush toilet, and separate shower stall
- Mid-cabin double berth under the helm deck, great for guests or kids
Finishes are clean and upscale, with matte wood cabinetry, synthetic stone countertops, and LED ambient lighting throughout. While the boat is built for rugged use, Boston Whaler didn’t skimp on the creature comforts.
Helm Deck and Hardtop
The enclosed helm deck is an all-season command center. With climate control, sliding side windows, and forward windshield venting, it’s comfortable in any season. The helm station features:
- Dual 16” Raymarine Axiom XL displays
- SmartCraft VesselView
- Digital switching and Mercury joystick
- Premium helm seating with bolsters and armrests
The hardtop is robust, with integrated LED lighting, rocket launchers, storage for lifejackets, and optional sunroof panels. Aft of the helm deck is a dinette with a solid teak table that converts to a lounge pad, creating an ideal indoor-outdoor entertainment area.
Entertaining and Family-Friendly Layout
While the 365 Conquest is purpose-built for fishing, it’s also surprisingly family-friendly. The cockpit grill makes for memorable dockside cookouts, and the electric sunshade provides relief on warm summer afternoons. With optional Fusion stereo upgrades and underwater lighting, the vibe easily shifts from serious fishing to party mode.
Kids and guests will appreciate the port-side dive door with ladder, ideal for swimming or easy dock boarding. The large swim platform around the engines and transom walkthrough improve usability and safety.
Notable Options and Upgrades
- Seakeeper 3 gyro stabilization
- Diesel generator with sound shield
- Teak cockpit table and interior flooring
- Second helm station joystick
- FLIR thermal night vision

Boston Whaler makes it easy to customize the 365 Conquest to suit your mission — whether that’s chasing bluefin, weekend cruising with the family, or entertaining dockside guests.
Who It’s For
The Boston Whaler 365 Conquest is ideal for:
- Offshore anglers who want a serious fishing platform that doesn’t sacrifice comfort
- Cruising couples who want overnight capability without moving to a flybridge design
- Families that enjoy boating year-round, with protection from weather and the ability to entertain on deck
- Boat owners looking to downsize from a sportfish yacht without giving up luxury or utility
Final Thoughts
The Boston Whaler 365 Conquest is the sweet spot between rugged utility and refined comfort. It’s a vessel that doesn’t force you to choose between fishing and family time, or between performance and safety. Like all Whalers, it’s built to last, with thoughtful design, premium materials, and the brand’s signature unsinkable construction.
If you’re looking for a serious offshore boat that can also serve as your weekend getaway cabin on the water, the 365 Conquest belongs on your shortlist.
