288 Pursuit Sport- A Covid Must!!

05/03/2021

I am extremely satisfied with my 288. I put 130 hours on vessel and felt like I did not make it out enough. Maybe the best boating season I ever had!

Paul B.

Very satisfied Carolinas Boater

09/07/2022

Having been boating for approximately 30 years on the southern North Carolina coast through several different manufacturers and size boats from 10 to 52 feet, our newly purchased pursuit 288 has blown away all of our expectations and continues to impress upon every use. We greatly appreciate the ride and excellent build quality of the 288. A++ in all areas, this will not be our last Pursuit!

Another Great Boat

03/19/2021

This is the 4th Brand New Pursuit that I have purchased. They always provide a good experience & provide the best quality of materials, especially the Gel Coat & SS.

Top Notch

08/18/2021

Took delivery of our new S288 this summer in Huron OH. In a couple months it will had to the Keys for more fun! Love the boat. Can't say enough good things about Tom Mack and the team at South Shore Marine in Huron OH! If you are in the market for a boat you will not find a better fit! In Islamorada we will store with Caribee Marina.....great great folks as well. They take care of everything.

Multi-use vessel pursuit

05/19/2022

Pursuit S288sport is a truly multi purpose boat. Capable of fishing with all the implements to make the day a success. Able to handle a crowd in comfort. Attractive that makes heads turn. Can pull aquatic toys with ease. Handles rough seas with grace. Very pleased with my new boat.

RICHARD A.

The Pursuit Experience

05/09/2022

Just wanted to say the purchasing experience at Walker's Marine was laid back and professional at the same time. The staff there was very helpful and made the purchasing experience an excellent one and I strongly recommend anyone that is looking to purchase a quality boat from a staff that can assist with all your purchasing wants and needs. Love my boat!

Best Customer Experience ever

02/05/2023

I have had many new vehicle experiences in my life including many cars/trucks and three new boats. However, Joe Toland, Caroline Yacht Sales and the entire Pursuit team have far exceeded my expectations. I am very excited to have taken possession of my new Pursuit and the overall buying experience before and after the sale has been first class.

We are very excited to take delivery of our new 288! We just upgraded from a 2470 and can't be happier. Our two boys grew up on the 2470 Fish Fite'r and now are captaining our new 288! Pursuit makes incredible boats and we are so glad to be on Fish Fite'r II!

New Pursuit 288 Sport Exceptional!!!

07/25/2021

My new Pursuit 288 Sport has just been phenomenal. She exceeded my expectations for ride, Yamaha’s best in the industry reliability, sea keeping, beautiful looks, fit and finish, comfortable seating and the delivery was terrific. I have owned many new boats and Pursuit built me an incredible boat and it was delivered flawlessly by Bosun’s Marine. I absolutely love everything about her and the best part is how much my family loves her for swimming, water sports and coastal cruising. Thank you!

Perfect for our family!!!

06/28/2022

Pursuit nailed it with this boat!!! Features galore. Our Sport 288 allows us to spend time together with family or friends at the sandbar or an island along the intercoastal and we can also confidently venture well offshore or over to the Bahamas. The 24 degree deadrise makes for a comfortable ride when mother nature isn't cooperating. We are so proud to be part of the Pursuit Family

NEAL H.

My New Pursuit

12/29/2022

After owning and loving my previous Pursuit Offshore I was convinced I would purchase another pursuit. After speaking with Ed Bickel over the last 2 Atlantic City Boat shows he and his associates made my purchasing experience a pleasure. I would definitely recommend Stone Harbor Yacht Sales again and look forward to working with them over the years for the upkeep of my boat.

MARK V.

3 new Pursuits in 2 years....OS 355, DC 365 and S288...Great Quality boats across the entire line up!!!

08/09/2022

As a retired Boat Dealership owner (non Pursuit unfortunately) Our family just can't make up our mind on which type of boating we enjoy the most. Overnighting and fishing on an OS355? Massive Day boating on the incredible DC365 loaded with creature comforts, or the best towable boat we have ever owned, the S288....The "sports car of boating" that we heard about is all true. All have Pursuit Quality and the personal experience at Yamaha Marine Center (Don and Brad) is the icing on the cake!

Andrew K.

Best boat on the market!

03/16/2021

This is my second Pursuit boat and the updated improvements were great. No other boat on the market can compare to the quality of Pursuit!

Daniel C.

We love our Pursuit.

03/09/2022

We absolutely love our Pursuit. These boats aren't cheap but you get what you pay for. Stellar customer service, superb quality and yacht grade finishes. It's a Porsche on the water.

Blake M.

Honest review, lifelong family boaters & fisherman

05/10/2023

We use our pursuit 288 weekly in southern North Carolina offshore areas. It handles 90% of conditions as well, as any comparable boat we have been on. The fit and finish are second to none, we get compliments everywhere we go, and the ride is on par with the market benchmark. We almost always outpace other boats in the ocean without coming close to a punishing ride. Beautiful boat, top quality construction, solid, fast, very fishable, family & dog friendly.

Christopher P.

More than a fishing boat

01/06/2023

I purchased a new Pursuit 288s at the Miami boat show. This model is so much more than just a fishing boat. I have used it to anchor out and swim for the day. The Mediterranean shades make hanging out a pleasure. I have taken a crowd out to watch 4th of July fireworks with great comfort. The boat handled the ride back to the dock with ease. It handled large boat wakes, the radar spotted the smaller vessels, while the passengers remained dry and happy. I would highly recommend the boat.

RICHARD A.

More than Expected

10/31/2022

From the moment I stepped onboard through the side door, I felt at home on this boat. But it got better from there. The S 288 turned out to be the perfect boat for me. I live on the south shore of Long Island and this boat is great for inshore and offshore fishing and we've cruised the eastern end of Long Island with up to 8 friends aboard. I love how the S 288 quickly jumps up onto a plane and effortlessly zips through the inlet to the fishing grounds. Yay to Drew at Strong's Marine!

S-288

08/17/2021

We were fortunate to be able to visit the factory while our boat was being built. The tour confirmed our decision to purchase a Pursuit was the right decision. The attention to detail and pride in workmanship was displayed by everyone we encountered during the tour. Our finished boat was delivered a couple of weeks and we’ couldn’t be happier. While we are bias we constantly receive comments from others while out and about along the Alabama / Florida Gulf Coast on how good the boat looks.

Amazing boat that can do it all.

06/07/2021

We looked at every brand boat is the 30 ft sector and just couldn’t find another brand with the fit and finish of Pursuit. After that the ride sealed the deal! Coastal Carolina Yacht Sales in Charleston really nailed it.

I just purchased a S288 Pursuit. I couldn’t be happier with the layout and the ride. I highly recommend the boat.

RICHARD S.

Amazing Quality and Versatility

04/23/2023

My Pursuit S288 has been an inredible boating experience. I have owned the boat for a year. The versatilty allows our family to enjopy the boat in so many ways. We love to fish and the fishability is great. We also cruise, take it the sandbar, and other destinations. The quality and comfort of the seats make the boat such an enjoyable ride.The solid, stable ride makes me feel safe when the seas get a bit choppy. It is everything we had hoped for and then some!

MIKE S.

Best boat ever!

07/21/2022

I’ve been researching center consoles since I sold my Cruiser 2 years ago and had a decent idea of what I was looking for, so when I contacted Al Elson at Stripper Marina , he not only had the boat I was looking for he made the whole experience incredible with his attention to detail, accessibility, and patience. This boat does everything right- great layout, awesome performance, and well designed helm- perfect for me and my family- thank you Al and the whole Team at Stripper!

SCOTT W.

Love my Pursuit 288 Sport!!!

04/21/2022

This is my first 288 Sport Pursuit after having 3 models of another premier brand. I switched to Pursuit because I could see that Pursuit now builds the best looking, yacht quality, best fit and finish boat in this class and I will only go with Yamaha reliability power they have that too. Can’t wait to get back out on her!

Pursuit S288

07/03/2022

We are very pleased with our purchase and love to spend time on it for pleasure and soon fishing. Would definitely recommend this boat or any other in the Pursuit line.

James H.

Awesome Boat !

01/15/2023

We have owned alot of boats and different style of boats all high end so we were very selective and had it narrowed down to 3 other big names in the industry the S288 Sport came out on top for our family. After custom ordering and taking delivery even more impressed with the quality, ride, comfort, interior layout, exterior design, fish ability and performance. AWESOME BOAT !!!!!

ANTHONY G.

A Promise Kept

07/15/2021

I have purchased new boats in the past and each time every manufacturer was late on delivery. In 2021 everyone is trying to purchase a boat. Pursuit gave my dealer a delivery date and hit it right on the mark. A promise kept!

Performance without Compromise

06/24/2022

Our Pursuit S288 exceeded our expectations. The build quality is top notch. Everything within the boat is well thought out and laid out. The boat performs extremely smooth with plenty of power equipped with twin 300 hp Yamaha outboard engines. At first we thought about adding a bow thruster; but the equipped joystick controls more than handle the boats needs. We couldn’t be happier! KUDOS Pursuit!
