This 42-foot center console, powered by quad 425-horsepower Yamaha XTO engines, delivers the kind of range, speed, and reliability that serious boaters demand, while the thoughtfully designed 13-foot beam and 3-foot-9-inch draft optimize stability and shallow-water access without sacrificing interior volume or seaworthiness.

Propulsion & Fuel Economy

The quad Yamaha 425 XTO four-stroke engines—currently logged at just 350 hours—represent one of the most refined and efficient outboard powerplants available for this class. With a 547-gallon fuel capacity and modern four-stroke efficiency, this configuration delivers genuine range for extended offshore work or multi-day cruising.

"Blue Liner" is genuinely loaded for serious fishing. The S 428 Sport features a massive aft cockpit with side boarding doors and an electrically actuated beach platform for easy water access. Three insulated fish boxes totaling 134 gallons—including a 68-gallon refrigerated transom box with digital temperature control—handle any catch. Twin transom livewells of 36 gallons each, with recirculating systems and acrylic windows, keep bait and live catch in optimal condition. Twelve stainless steel rod holders distributed across the gunwales, transom, and bow, plus dedicated lockable rod storage under the hardtop and cabin, accommodate multiple anglers and rigs. A fully equipped tackle center with storage for four Plano trays and dedicated tackle drawers (port and starboard) keeps gear organized and accessible. The bow layout includes a powered, convertible second row of seating beneath the oversized hardtop—an industry-first feature that allows additional crew to enjoy the ride without sacrificing fishing functionality.

Cruising & Comfort

The cabin is notably well-appointed for a 42-foot center console. A spacious forward berth with quality 5-inch foam cushions, removable settee backrests with outboard storage, and indirect accent lighting create a genuine sleeping space. Large hull side windows and forward console windows flood the cabin with natural light and provide excellent sightlines. An 8,000 BTU air-conditioning system with reverse-cycle heat ensures year-round comfort in any climate.

2021 Pursuit S 428 Sport: A Fully Equipped Offshore Fishing and Cruising Yacht
The 2021 Pursuit S 428 Sport represents the pinnacle of the builder's engineering and design philosophy—a 42-foot offshore fishing and cruising platform that combines raw power, sophisticated electronics, and exceptional comfort in a single cohesive package. Located in North Falmouth, Massachusetts, this model stands as the largest, most powerful, and most spacious Pursuit ever built, engineered to deliver performance and capability across fishing, entertaining, and extended cruising missions.
Overview and Vessel Identity
At 42 feet in length with a 13-foot beam and 3.75-foot draft, the S 428 Sport occupies a commanding position in the mid-range offshore sportfish category. The vessel is powered by quad Yamaha 425 XTO engines—a four-outboard configuration that delivers unmatched thrust, redundancy, and precision handling. With only 350 hours on the engines and a Yamaha Extended Warranty in effect through May 2026, this particular example demonstrates conservative operation and manufacturer-backed reliability. The 547-gallon fuel capacity and 70-gallon fresh water capacity support extended range and comfortable cruising operations. Pursuit's construction methodology emphasizes structural integrity and longevity. The hull features a laminated design with vinyl ester resin and engineered fabrics, a five-ply resin-infused composite transom system with patented reinforcement grid, and an integrated fiberglass structural grid with molded finish. Bronze thru-hull fittings below the waterline, stainless steel clad composite fittings above the seven-degree heel line, and a comprehensive bonding system protect the vessel against corrosion and galvanic degradation. The Zipwake trim control system with Series S interceptors provides fully automatic pitch and roll management, enhancing ride quality and fuel efficiency across sea states.
Layout and Deck Design
The S 428 Sport's deck arrangement prioritizes both fishing functionality and social entertainment. The cockpit spans the full beam of the hull, creating what Pursuit identifies as the largest aft cockpit in its class. This expansive working and entertaining zone is the operational heart of the vessel, accessible via port and starboard side boarding doors with electrically actuated platforms and swim/dive ladder receivers—a critical feature for water sports and emergency egress. The bow area features a multi-function forward lounge with molded seating, insulated storage below, and electric-actuating hinged backrests that allow clear passage forward. A removable jump seat, bow tables with storage, and a bow sunpad chaise for two with adjustable backrests and armrests create a comfortable social zone. Forward-facing seating with adjustable backrests accommodates two additional occupants, while a dedicated gear locker below the bow floor access hatch provides secure storage for water sports equipment and supplies. The helm station occupies a raised, aft-tilting fiberglass console with comprehensive instrumentation visor, fold-out footrest, and safety lanyard. A triple captain's seat configuration—with center seat featuring fore, aft, and vertical adjustments—provides ergonomic support during extended helm operations. The seat box integrates a slide-out trash can, DC panel and battery switch access, and bridge machinery access hatch. Aft of the helm, a molded mezzanine seat with armrests and dedicated storage faces the transom, while a secondary row of forward-facing bridge seats (two seats) mounted on a power sliding fore-and-aft assembly allows crew to position themselves for optimal visibility or social engagement. A custom molded cockpit table with storage, folding transom seat with patent-pending flipping backrest, and eleven deep drink holders complete the entertaining infrastructure. The cockpit entertainment center features a molded sink with hot/cold mixing faucet, electric grill, top-load refrigerator/freezer (11 gallons with digitally controlled thermostat), cutting board, and dedicated storage drawers. A fresh water cockpit shower with hot/cold mixing valve and pull-out sprayer, plus raw and fresh water outlets with quick-connect fittings and 25-foot coil hose, support rinsing and washdown operations. Ten LED courtesy lights and ten full-spectrum mid-level accent lights, controllable via panel, create ambient lighting for evening entertaining.
Fishing Features and Offshore Capability
The S 428 Sport is engineered from the transom forward as a serious offshore fishing platform. Twelve stainless steel rod holders—four in the gunwale, four in the transom, and four in the bow—provide secure storage and quick access for multiple fishing rods. Two transom livewells, each holding 36 gallons with recirculating and insulating design, lighted Oceana Blue finish, fiberglass lids, and acrylic windows (port and starboard), maintain bait and catch viability during extended fishing operations. Three fish boxes totaling 134 gallons provide primary catch storage and preservation. The transom fish box (68 gallons) features insulation, refrigerator/freezer capability with digitally controlled thermostat, and overboard drain. Two cockpit floor fish boxes (42 gallons and 24 gallons, respectively) include insulated construction, diaphragm pumps, and overboard discharge—allowing rapid seawater circulation for live bait or immediate icing of catch. Rod storage extends throughout the vessel: lockable storage under the port gunwale accommodates three rods with custom embroidered reel pads; under-bow gunwale storage (port and starboard) holds two rods each with matching pads; under-hardtop storage provides two additional rods per side. Four rods can be stored in a lockable cabin locker. Aluminum reinforcement plates and pre-wiring for downrigger installation on the aft gunwale (port and starboard) support deepwater trolling and vertical jigging techniques. A port and starboard cockpit tackle center with storage for four Plano trays and tackle drawers organizes lures, terminal tackle, and small tools within arm's reach of the working cockpit. The combination of livewells, fish boxes, rod storage, and tackle organization positions the S 428 Sport as a capable platform for Gulf Stream, offshore bank, and extended bluewater fishing missions.
Helm and Electronics Integration
The helm station is equipped for modern navigation, fish detection, and vessel management. The vessel accommodates two Garmin chart plotters and an open array radar system, providing redundant navigation capability and comprehensive seabed imaging. A Yamaha gauge display monitors engine parameters, while a Yamaha Command Link Plus display (overhead) integrates engine data, trim system status, and system diagnostics. A bottom machine (sonar/fish finder) delivers real-time water column and seafloor information. The JL Media Master 12V Bluetooth-compatible stereo system includes six 7.7-inch exterior speakers and two 10-inch subwoofers powered by dual amplifiers, with remote controls at the bow and extended antenna coverage. The helm features a Ritchie Navigator compass, Zipwake trim system control panel, and a single windshield wiper with washer control. A bow thruster joystick control simplifies close-quarters maneuvering, while the Yamaha electric steering with programmable friction provides responsive helm feedback. Practical helm conveniences include a top-load glovebox with USB port and wireless phone charger, two extra-deep and two regular drink holders, one 12V outlet, dual USB charger, and helm fire extinguisher access. A custom grab rail and port fold-down footrest enhance ergonomics during long helm watches.
Hardtop, Windshield, and Weather Protection
A molded fiberglass full-beam hardtop with visor and powder-coated structural supports spans the cockpit, providing weather protection and structural mounting points for electronics and navigation lights. Integrated ladder rungs allow safe access to the hardtop surface. A custom windshield system features optically clear laminated glass with electrically actuated vents (port and starboard), tempered side glass with powder-coated frame, and 316L stainless steel grab rails. A pantograph windshield wiper with fresh water washer maintains visibility in rain or spray. The hardtop integrates anchor/stern LED lights with burgee rings and electrically actuated flag mounts, six tri-color LED lights, two aft-facing spreader lights, one forward-facing spreader light, and integrated stereo speakers. Hardtop access/ventilation sliding hatches (port and starboard) allow fresh air circulation and equipment access. A trumpet horn, 2-mile navigation lights, and dedicated radar and outrigger mounting locations complete the topside infrastructure.
