The all new Pursuit S 288 represents the next evolution of one of Pursuit’s most popular Sport models. Purposefully engineered for fishing, cruising, entertaining, and exploring, this versatile center console combines rugged offshore capability with the comfort and refinement Pursuit owners expect.
Measuring 30 feet overall with a 9 foot 8 inch beam, the new Pursuit S 288 offers more space, smarter technology, and thoughtful features designed to make every day on the water more enjoyable.
More Room for Every Pursuit
One of the most noticeable enhancements aboard the S 288 is its spacious cockpit, which is among the largest in its class. The open layout provides plenty of room to fish, entertain guests, or move comfortably around the boat throughout the day.
Flexible seating allows owners to easily adapt the cockpit for different activities. A folding transom seat, forward bow seating, a doublewide console seat, and an aft facing seat provide comfortable options for family and friends without sacrificing valuable deck space.
Integrated table storage also makes it easy to transition from an active day of fishing to a relaxed afternoon meal on the water.
A Helm Designed Around the Captain
The redesigned helm of the Pursuit S 288 places technology, visibility, and comfort at the center of the experience.
Standard dual 12 inch multifunction displays provide clear access to navigation and vessel information, while available dual 16 inch displays create an even more advanced command center. Ergonomic controls, adjustable helm seating, and excellent sightlines help make the S 288 intuitive and enjoyable to operate.
An expansive hardtop provides generous shade and can support available features including open array radar, Gemlux Bluewater outriggers, and an upgraded JL Audio system.
Built for Serious Fishing
The Pursuit S 288 may offer premium comfort, but it remains a highly capable offshore fishing boat. Anglers will appreciate features designed to keep equipment organized and the cockpit ready for action, including:
- Spacious insulated fishboxes
- Abundant rod storage
- Four stainless steel gunwale rod holders
- A 24 gallon recirculating livewell
- Dedicated tackle storage
- Raw water and freshwater washdowns
- Available Gemlux Bluewater outriggers
- Available factory wired Garmin Force Kraken trolling motor
These features make the S 288 well equipped for offshore fishing while preserving the flexibility needed for family cruising and entertaining.
Comfort for Full Days on the Water
Pursuit designed the S 288 to make longer days aboard more convenient. Below deck, a spacious front entry head provides easy access, privacy, and practical storage.
At the bow, comfortable seating with folding backrests creates an inviting place to relax while cruising. Insulated storage beneath the seats provides room for gear, drinks, and other essentials.
The expanded hullside entry door offers a full 180 degree swing and includes an integrated boarding ladder, making it easier to board from the dock or return to the boat after swimming.
Confident Pursuit Performance
The Pursuit S 288 is powered by twin Yamaha F300 engines, delivering a maximum of 600 horsepower. Its proven 24 degree deep V hull is designed to provide a stable, confident ride when conditions become challenging.
Pursuit’s patented fiberglass structural grid system adds strength and long term durability, while its 230 gallon fuel capacity supports offshore fishing trips, coastal cruising, and full days exploring Long Island waters.
