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!

Amazing boat that can do it all.

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.

Another Great Boat

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!
