Pursuit S 288 Sport Center Console

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!

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.

We looked at many boat brands, and styles. My wife wanted a dual console , while I wanted a center console. When we boarded the S288 at Walker's Marine with our salesperson (Brad Snyder) it was love at first sight for my wife. She loves driving the boat, while sitting on the comfortable, well designed helm seat. When running the boat in the Gulf of Mexico (SWF), in choppy seas, this boat handles like a 40 footer, dry and stable. The Garmin Electronics, and joystick are incredible. We love it!!

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!

Jack Flood is our sales rep and he did an excellent job with us in sales and delivery of our new boat. Including the trailer, delivery, and scheduling to bring boat back for custom fitting of cover, wings , and side panels. Jack truly knows the product in detail and has been super easy to work with. The regional rep Bryan Harris was a pleasure to work with as well from Annapolis Boat Show. We look forward to our continued business with Jack!!!!!

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.

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!

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.

I previously had two Pursuit boats and decided to try a Grady in North Carolina. The quality and reliability issues were terrible! I traded back to Pursuit !

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

For us it was all about choosing a boat that was quality, Styling and reliability we believe our Pursuit hits on all levels. We have enjoyed our boat and already are comfortable in it. Our experience purchasing was also very good made us feel comfortable and not pushy. overall we are thrilled .

My new Pursuit has been excellent. First off - everything works. I know this sounds obvious but my last boat, which I bought new, had problems from day one. The boat handles very well and is easy to operate. Very happy with her.

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 !!!!!

Cant say much more than this! John at Coastal Carolina is a great salesman, who goes above and beyond to deliver great customer care. The dealership really takes time to understand customer needs, and does everything in their power to deliver....Pursuit Boats...what else can I say! Awesome machines!

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!

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.

I am pleased with the purchase of my Pursuit S288. It meets my needs for off-shore fishing in the Gulf of Mexico and still gives me the flexibility to anchor and enjoy time with friends at private beach areas.

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!

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

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.

If you are searching for a boat to meet various needs, be it for family outings or a day of fishing, check out the Pursuit line up at Quality Boats of Sarasota. You will find both the sales and service teams very knowledgeable and great to work with!

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!

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.

The boat not only looks great but the performance excedes my expectations. Its a tough fishing boat but can day- cruise with the best of them. It rides like a much bigger boat.

Couldn't be happier with our brand new Pursuit. As first time boat owner, Pursuit has far exceeded our expectations and has provided us with a top quality boat and experience. We are beyond happy with Ocean Blue Yacht Sales and our salesperson, Colter Swafford. They did not put pressure and made the experience very enjoyable and stress free.

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!

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!

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.

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!

My new Pursuit 2023 S288 is a terrific boat. I bought it to replace a 2012 Pursuit 280 C that I’ve enjoyed for the last 12 years. The new boat features, many refinements and product enhancements to make it even more enjoyable than my first boat. You should strongly consider Pursuit when shopping for a high-quality seaworthy center consul.
