Pursuit OS 405: Two Cabins, One Door That Closes, 43 Feet of Outboard
The Pursuit OS 405 puts two sleeping areas — the aft one behind a solid-wood privacy door — a standard Seakeeper 6 and triple Yamaha 450 XTO…

The cabin boats — 34'6" to 46'6" with berths, galleys and private heads, rated 700 to 1,350 horsepower
The trip you actually want to take does not end at the dock at five o'clock. It ends two days later, in a cove three islands over, after a morning offshore and an afternoon in three feet of water. That takes a boat with a berth you will genuinely sleep in, a head you can shut a door on, and a galley that does more than hold ice. The Offshore line is where Pursuit puts all three.
These are the yard's cabin boats, and they are the only Pursuits that are. Each one has a private head compartment with a shower and a galley below, and each is still rigged to fish exactly like the center consoles — rod holders, livewells, insulated fishboxes, tackle storage. What changes as you go up the line is how much of a home the cabin becomes. Pursuit rates the OS 325 and the OS 355 to sleep four around a convertible forward berth; the OS 405 adds a second stateroom aft behind a solid-wood privacy door; the OS 445 gives you two proper staterooms and lifts the galley onto the bridge deck so the cook stands in the middle of the party rather than below it.
We review all four: the OS325 at 34'6", the OS355 at 37'11", the OS405 at 43'0" and the OS445 at 46'6" with its platform. The OS 445 is, in Pursuit's own words, the largest boat the yard has ever built.

Moving Up the Offshore Series
The OS325 is the entry point and the newest hull in the line — Pursuit says it was redesigned from the hull up. Thirty-four feet six inches on a 10'10" beam, 20 degrees of deadrise, 13,740 lbs dry, 300 gallons of fuel and a 700-horsepower ceiling filled by twin Yamaha F350s. Pursuit's sheet has it at 52.6 mph at 5,800 RPM and marks best cruise at 33.5 mph at 4,000 RPM — 26.3 gallons an hour, 1.27 miles per gallon and 326 miles of range, with nought to thirty in 12.3 seconds. That 1.27 is the best cruise economy in the Offshore line by a distance. The cabin sleeps four around a convertible V-berth with a streamlined galley, and the private head to starboard has a vacuum-flush marine head, an 18-gallon holding tank, a Corian vanity and a hot/cold pull-out shower wand behind a curtain on a track.
The OS355 is the boat that adds a third engine and, with it, the longest legs in the series. Thirty-seven feet eleven inches on a 12'0" beam, 20 degrees of deadrise, 17,470 lbs dry, 388 gallons and a 1,050-horsepower ceiling filled by triple Yamaha F350s. Top speed is 56.5 mph at 5,950 RPM — the fastest figure in the Offshore range — and best cruise is 30.2 mph at 3,500 RPM, burning 30.1 gallons an hour for a flat 1.00 mile per gallon and 348 miles. Nought to thirty takes 10.7 seconds. The cabin sleeps four on an electrically actuated convertible berth and dinette, and the enclosed head to starboard has a vacuum-flush marine head, a 22-gallon holding tank, a Corian countertop, a designer sink and an acrylic bi-fold shower divider.
The OS405 is where the line stops being a cabin boat and becomes a two-stateroom boat. Forty-three feet with the platform, 40'4" without, on a 13'0" beam, 20 degrees of deadrise, 25,292 lbs dry, 482 gallons and a 1,350-horsepower ceiling filled by triple Yamaha 450 XTOs. Pursuit records 55.1 mph at 6,000 RPM and best cruise at 28.5 mph at 3,500 RPM — 38.9 gallons an hour, 0.73 miles per gallon, 317 miles of range and nought to thirty in 12.6 seconds. Forward there is an electrically convertible island-style queen berth with a hanging locker; aft there is a mid-cabin stateroom with a full-size berth, a settee and a solid-wood privacy door, which is the thing that turns a family weekend from a negotiation into a holiday. The private head to starboard has a solid-surface vanity, a 26-gallon holding tank and a shower with a hot/cold mixing valve and wand.
The OS445 is the largest boat Pursuit has ever built, and it uses the length rather than just occupying it. Forty-six feet six inches with the platform, 43'10" without, on a 13'10" beam, 20 degrees of deadrise, 30,718 lbs dry, 600 gallons of fuel and 100 gallons of water, on the same 1,350-horsepower ceiling as the OS 405 filled by triple Yamaha 450 XTOs. Top speed is 49.2 mph at 5,900 RPM; best cruise is 25.9 mph at 4,000 RPM, 52.0 gallons an hour, 0.50 miles per gallon and 277 miles, with nought to thirty in 16.4 seconds. What you buy with the weight is accommodation: a primary stateroom with an island-style queen, two hanging lockers and private head access, a starboard guest stateroom with a berth over storage, a settee and a hanging locker, a bridge-deck galley, and — uniquely in this range — a genuinely separate shower compartment with an acrylic partition wall and its own door rather than a wand and a curtain.
Read the steps in the yard's own numbers. OS 325 to OS 355 buys 88 gallons of fuel, 14 inches of beam, a third engine, 3.9 mph on top and 22 more miles at cruise, and costs 3,730 lbs and about a quarter of a mile per gallon. OS 355 to OS 405 buys 94 gallons, another foot of beam and a second stateroom with a door, and costs 7,822 lbs, 31 miles of cruising range and another quarter of a mile per gallon. OS 405 to OS 445 buys 118 gallons, 20 gallons of water, a second full stateroom and the bridge-deck galley — and costs 5,426 lbs on identical horsepower, which is why the biggest boat is also the slowest: 49.2 mph against 55.1, and 277 miles at cruise against 317. If range is what you are buying, the OS 355 is the answer and it is not close.
Our Take
The OS 355 is the one I point people at, and the reason is a single row in Pursuit's own test sheet rather than anything on the brochure. At 3,500 RPM it does 30.2 mph on 30.1 gallons an hour — a flat mile to the gallon, 348 miles of range out of 388 gallons. That is the longest cruising leg of any boat in the Offshore line, including the two that are bigger and carry more fuel. Everybody expects the flagship to be the one that goes furthest. In this range it is the middle boat, and that changes the shortlist.
What the line as a whole gets right is that these cabin boats never stopped being fishing boats. You get the berths, the galley and a head with a door on it, and you also get the livewells, the insulated fishboxes and the tackle storage, so nobody has to pretend the boat is something it is not on a Tuesday morning. And Pursuit publishes its homework — RPM by RPM, mph, gph, mpg and range, with a test date and a full test weight printed on the sheet. Very few builders in this class will show you that, and it is the single best reason to trust a Pursuit number rather than a brochure adjective.
Here is the honest limit. The OS 445 is a genuinely lovely thing and it is the only boat here with a real separate shower compartment, two staterooms and a galley up on the bridge deck. But it carries 5,426 lbs more than the OS 405 on exactly the same 1,350 horsepower, and the sheet does not hide it: 49.2 mph flat out against 55.1, 16.4 seconds to thirty against 12.6, and 277 miles of range at cruise against 317. Buy it for the accommodation, which is the real reason to buy it. Do not buy it expecting the biggest boat in the line to also be the quickest — here it is the other way round, and the OS 405 does the two-stateroom job on less boat.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Pursuit Offshore and Sport series?
Offshore boats have cabins; Sport boats have consoles.
Every Offshore model, from the OS 325 to the OS 445, is built around a cabin with berths below the helm, an enclosed head with a shower and an air-conditioned interior, so the boat can stay out overnight.
The Sport line is centre consoles, where the deck is open all the way around and any accommodation is tucked inside the console itself. The S 248 and S 268 have a head and no berth at all; the S 388 and S 428 fit a berth, a shower and air conditioning into the console cabin.
Both lines fish hard. The question is whether the boat also has to sleep you.
Which Pursuit Offshore model has the longest range?
The OS 355, at 348 miles at best cruise, from Pursuit's own test sheet. The OS 325 manages 326 miles, the OS 405 317 and the OS 445 277 at its published cruise setting — so the second-smallest boat in the line goes furthest.
The reason is fuel burn rather than tank size. The OS 355 returns 1.00 mile per gallon at 30.2 mph on triple F350s, while the OS 445 manages 0.50 mpg at 25.9 mph and needs its 600-gallon tank simply to stay in the conversation.
All four figures are calculated on 90 percent of test-condition fuel rather than a full tank.
What is the Pursuit Offshore series?
Pursuit's cabin-boat line, and the range that sits above its Sport centre consoles and Denali dual consoles. There are four models — the OS 325, OS 355, OS 405 and OS 445 — running from 34 feet 6 inches to 46 feet 6 inches with the platform.
Every one has a cabin with berths, an enclosed head with a shower and air conditioning, and every one is outboard-powered: twin Yamaha F350s on the OS 325, triple F350s on the OS 355 and triple 450 XTOs on the two largest.
The OS 445 is the largest boat Pursuit has ever built, at 30,718 pounds dry with two staterooms and a bridge-deck galley.
