Pursuit S 288

The best-selling Pursuit sport boat.

The S 288 is the boat people move up into: twin F300s, a genuine offshore hull, and an interior finished like a small yacht — berth in the console, proper head, glass helm. It's big enough for the canyons out of Ocean City and refined enough that a sunset cruise feels like the boat's real job.

As a two-time Pursuit Flagship Dealer and 2023 Rookie Dealer of the Year, RT 113 stocks the S line and films our own walkthroughs of them. Every one is rigged and serviced by our Yamaha Pro Elite department — the shop side of why Pursuit gives us the award.

Common questions

How big is the Pursuit S 288?

30 ft 0 in overall with a 9 ft 8 in beam.

What is the deadrise on the Pursuit S 288?

24 deg at the transom. A sharper V softens a chop; a flatter one adds stability at rest and shallower draft — where this one sits is part of what a sea trial is for.

How much fuel does the Pursuit S 288 carry?

230 gal.

Is the Pursuit S 288 in stock at RT 113?

None on the lot today, but 1 is on order from the factory and not yet spoken for — ask about claiming one before it lands.

Can I sea trial the Pursuit S 288 before buying?

Yes. RT 113 runs sea trials out of Selbyville, Delaware — on the water, not just around the lot. Book one through the sales desk at (302) 436-1737 or from any listing on this site.
