Quick Verdict
- Redesigned from the keel up for 2025 — Pursuit calls it the revolutionized S 328 Sport, and the motor well, cabin and cockpit are all new rather than refreshed
- Legitimate overnight cabin with convertible V-berth, marine head, and standing headroom sets it apart from pure fishing boats in the 32- to 34-foot range
- Yamaha Helm Master EX with joystick control and set point allows single-handed docking and precise positioning over structure without constant throttle adjustment
Our Take
The S 328 Sport is what happens when a builder listens to 485 owners and rebuilds a bestseller without losing the plot. Pursuit used vinyl ester resin, mechanically fastened the hull-to-deck joint, and spec'd bronze thru-hulls below the waterline. These are not marketing decisions. These are decisions that matter when you are running hard offshore or when you sell the boat in seven years. The ride quality in 30-knot winds is better than boats 10 feet longer, and the cockpit layout proves you do not have to choose between fishing functionality and family comfort.
This boat is for the owner who fishes solo on weekdays and runs the family to the Bahamas on weekends. It is not for the buyer who wants the lightest, fastest, or flashiest option in the 34-foot class. The S 328 is heavier than some competitors, and the 20-degree deadrise is moderate by offshore standards. But the hull design compensates with stability and predictability. If you value engineering over aesthetics and plan to keep the boat for more than three years, this is the right choice.
Resale on Pursuit boats is strong because the builder has a track record and a secondary market. The original S 328 held value because 485 units created demand. The redesigned version will follow the same path. Expect to recover 60 to 70 percent of your purchase price after five years if you maintain it properly. Operating costs will run $15,000 to $20,000 annually for slip fees, insurance, and maintenance, plus fuel. This is an owner-operator boat. You do not need crew. You need to know how to run it and take care of it..

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you sleep on a Pursuit S328?
Yes, for two. Pursuit lists a sleeping capacity of two on its spec table, and the redesigned console cabin carries a convertible V-berth, a Vacu-Flush marine head with a 10-gallon holding tank and a Corian countertop, and an opening portlight forward with a screen. It is a genuine overnight space rather than a stateroom, which is the trade a 34-foot center console makes.
What engines does the Pursuit S328 take?
Twin Yamaha V6 Offshore outboards. Pursuit's page describes the boat as powered by twin Yamaha 300 or 350 engines, and every published figure for it — the 12,975-pound dry weight, the 700-horsepower ceiling and the performance test sheet — is quoted on the F350s. Both come with digital electric steering and Helm Master EX digital electronic controls, with Yamaha joystick control an option.
What is the cruise speed of the Pursuit S328?
27.1 mph at 3,500 RPM on twin Yamaha F350s, which is the row Pursuit highlights as best cruise on its own test sheet. At that setting the boat burns 20.4 gallons an hour, returns 1.33 miles per gallon and has 348 miles of range. Push it to 4,000 RPM and you get 34.3 mph at 26.1 gallons an hour, which still leaves 344 miles. Top speed is 51.2 mph at 5,925 RPM.
