More Storage, More Features, More Comfort

Expanding on our beloved and proven Minijet Rover, the Defender truly emulates the playful characteristics of our smaller platforms while providing the stability, buoyancy, and comfort to tackle the hardest of conditions.

Tough Construction - The Minijet Standard

As with all our models, the Minijet Defender is designed and built to take a beating! Smash into rocks and launch it over logs, the Minijet Defender will give you the confidence to take you and your team where no one has gone before.


Bigger boat means Bigger strength! Every Minijet Defender comes standard with a 5/16" thick 6061-T6 Aluminum bottom and a 3/8" thick 6061-T6 Aluminum keel section. Paired with our standard 1/2" UHMW hull protection, shoals are a concern of the past!
