S 288

 

Purposefully Engineered for Every Pursuit

The all-new Pursuit S 288 represents the next evolution of one of our most popular Sport models. Measuring 30' overall with a 9' 8" beam, this ruggedly refined center console is purposefully engineered to deliver the versatility today's boaters expect. Whether fishing offshore, entertaining family and friends, or exploring new destinations, every enhancement was thoughtfully designed to create a more intuitive, more capable, and more enjoyable experience on the water.

On deck, the S 288 introduces one of the largest cockpit spaces in its class, giving owners more room to fish, entertain, and move comfortably throughout the day. A purposefully designed helm offers improved ergonomics, standard dual 12-inch multifunction displays or available dual 16-inch multifunction displays, and exceptional visibility, while the expansive hardtop provides generous shade and supports available open-array radar, Gemlux® Bluewater outriggers, and a premium JL Audio® system.

Anglers will appreciate spacious insulated fishboxes, abundant rod storage, a recirculating livewell, and an available factory-wired Garmin® Force Kraken trolling motor.

Below deck, a spacious front-entry head provides easy access and thoughtful storage solutions that make spending a full day on the water even more enjoyable. Throughout the boat, purposeful details, from integrated table storage and flexible seating to an expanded hullside entry door with a full 180-degree swing and integrated boarding ladder, reflect Pursuit's commitment to engineering every feature with intention.

Designed on a proven 24-degree deep-V hull and Pursuit's patented fiberglass structural grid system, the S 288 delivers the confident ride, exceptional craftsmanship, and long-term durability owners have come to expect. It's a center console designed to adapt effortlessly to every adventure, combining offshore capability with refined comfort in a way that only Pursuit can.
