Boston Whaler Realm 350 and 380: Refreshed Models on Display at Miami International Boat Show
Boston Whaler has unveiled refreshed versions of the Realm 350 and Realm 380 at the Miami International Boat Show, showcasing updated styling, improved onboard systems and enhancements aimed at raising comfort and performance. These updated center-console models build on the original Realm concept—first introduced in 2017—blending the high-performance attributes of a center console with the onboard comforts and practicality usually found in express and dual-console boats.
The refinements focus on both aesthetic and functional upgrades. Interior furnishings have been reworked to present a cleaner, more comfortable cabin environment, while new exterior upholstery is specified to withstand a wide range of weather conditions and repeated use. An all-new teak trim package has been introduced to add a refined, classic look to deck surfaces and accents, providing a visual and tactile upgrade that complements the updated color and material palette.
At the helm, Boston Whaler has integrated Simrad electronics to provide a contemporary navigation and systems interface. These integrated Simrad systems improve situational awareness and simplify navigation workflows, supporting fishing, cruising and family boating activities. Upgraded cockpit lighting further improves usability during low-light conditions, making evening runs, night fishing or returning to port after sunset more convenient and safer.
Powering the refreshed Realms are Mercury outboard options, including the 400-hp V10 Verado and the 600-hp V12 Verado. These powerplants deliver substantial thrust for fast cruising, responsive handling and confident offshore performance while allowing owners to choose the level of propulsion that best matches their intended use—from spirited day runs to extended weekend cruising.
Both the 350 and 380 models emphasize flexible, social deck layouts. Each boat features ample seating on the forward deck, creating large, comfortable areas for lounging and socializing. The cockpits are designed to be roomy and practical, providing space for fishing gear, water sports equipment or casual entertaining. Under deck, cabins include convertible V-berths that can be arranged to suit overnight guests or family members, and both models offer full showers to support extended time onboard without sacrificing comfort.
The Realm 380 expands on the 350’s layout by including a compact galley, adding food preparation and storage capability that enhances the boat’s suitability for longer cruises or weekend stays. This small galley makes the 380 a more versatile choice for owners who want the blend of a center-console performance platform with the conveniences expected in a cruising-oriented craft.
Overall, the refreshed Realm 350 and 380 present incremental but meaningful upgrades that align with owner expectations for a modern, multi-role sportboat. The combination of durable materials, updated electronics, refined trim and high-output Mercury Verado outboards supports a wide range of activities—offshore fishing, day cruising, watersports and family outings—without moving away from Boston Whaler’s established reputation for solid construction and seaworthiness.
Visiting the Miami International Boat Show gives prospective buyers and boating enthusiasts an opportunity to see the updates in person, experience the new interior and exterior finishes, and compare the different layout choices between the 350 and 380. For those seeking a center-console capable of comfortable cruising and family-friendly amenities, the refreshed Realms aim to offer a compelling balance of performance, comfort and contemporary styling.
