Pursuit S 288 Sport Center Console

05/30/2025

Apex Marine has been an incredible experience. This is my third pursuit boat that i have purchased from them. Salvi Cisneros has was my salesman and was very thorough and professional and explained all the details. Sonia in Service Department is one of the best customer support person i have ever experienced she is amazing. Apex is very lucky to have her on their team.

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.

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!!

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!

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!

Great boat for the family and fishing! The boat is very well laid out and the quality is topnotch making it easy to use and enjoy. After running the boat for a few months, the performance has exceeded my expectations. The team at Quality Boats Sarasota (Mark, Josh B, and Dakota) are great and made the entire experience from deciding the model that would meet my needs to purchase and then delivery simply outstanding!

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.

Dave and the whole team at Bosuns are awesome. Combine them with the Pursuit team and you’re got a winning experience. We loved the factory tour and took advantage of the Pursuit Chapmans school. Dave made the process easy and we got a great boat!

We love our Pursuit! Best choice we made was choosing Pursuit as a first-time boat owner. Everything is high quality and the performance is amazing. Our experience with Ocean Blue Yacht Sales in Lighthouse Point, from the sales and delivery process to the service after the fact, has been great. Highly recommend Pursuit and Ocean Blue for the best boating and purchasing experience.

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.

My Pursuit S288 purchase from Stone Harbor Marina was phenomenal! The S288 is a masterpiece—superb quality and performance. Stone Harbor’s service was top-notch; Ed Bickel in Sales was professional, knowledgeable, and patient. The service dept ensured perfection, and the facility is pristine. The staff’s expertise and dedication shone through. I highly recommend Stone Harbor Marina and the Pursuit S288 for an unmatched boating experience! Five stars! (349 characters)

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 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 !

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 !!!!!

Pursuit layout and performance are first class. Craftsman ship and detail are above standard for a upper end boats and yachts.

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.

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.

The attention to quality, detail, and achieving ultimate versatility shine bright with the S288. Pursuit is a major league boat builder and their product is proof.

Brian at Walker's Marina was amazing to work with. He was very knowledgeable about the Pursuit brand and boating in general. He was very accessible and answered all questions expediently. He also was very patient while we made our decision. He is an exemplary representative of the Pursuit brand.

My third Pursuit and always happy with my experience! Great brand, boat, and dealer!

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!

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.

The perfect combination of an outstanding product ( Pursuit ) and a dedicated dealer ( Coastal Carolina Yacht Sales ) . Why take a chance buying any other product from any other dealer ! Thank You for your attention to the customer and thank you for being such a great ambassador for the Pursuit brand.

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!

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 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!

I will only buy a boat that comes from a quality boat builder with an excellent reputation. Has to be a boat that retains its value over time because it is known for performance and quality. Pursuit is all that.

I have had several boats in the past…My new Pursuit is by far the best I’ve owned. Great layout and build quality. Easy to use and operate. Family really enjoys it too!

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!

Overall experience with my Pursuit has been excellent. However, the people at Bosun's are the ones who truly make the experience of boat ownership positive. Jack Flood- salesperson-awesome. Heather in scheduling service-awesome. Josh the service technician who came to my house and quickly resolved a couple issues also super awesome!!! Boating experience is a package deal and Bosun's delivers! Thank you, Brad Franzen

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!

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.

The Pursuit S288 is my 3rd Pursuit and my son has a Pursuit and considering upgrading. We are getting older and have down sized from a 40 Ft Cruiser and Pursuit has been the answer 4 out of 5 boats since. Dependable, safe and well engineered in all aspects of our boating activities. My spouse and first mate loves the layout and open feeling of this model.

Having thoroughly vetted other Boats less expensive and more expensive than the Pursuit 288, I am convinced this is the best boat on the market. In this price range

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!!!!!

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.

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

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 .
