Boston Whaler 15′ Classics

Sakonnet, Striper, Sport, GLS — the 15-foot working Whalers.

Notable lengths: 15′ Sport · 15′ Super Sport · 15′ GLS · 15′ Striper · 15′ Sakonnet

The 15-foot Whaler hull is arguably the brand's perfect compromise: bigger than the legendary 13, lighter and cheaper to run than the 17 Montauk, and with enough freeboard for honest coastal use.

Over the years it wore many names — Sport, Super Sport, GLS, Sport GLS, Striper, the rare Sakonnet — each tuned for a slightly different mission. The Striper added a bow rail and rod holders for fishermen; the GLS added creature comforts; the Sport stayed deliberately simple.

For someone who wants the classic Whaler experience but needs a little more boat than the 13, the 15-foot hulls are the sweet spot of the entire used market.
