Our Thoughts

The 2023 Pursuit S378 represents a thoughtfully engineered 40-foot sportfishing center console that balances genuine offshore capability with the comfort expectations of modern boating. Located in Huntington, New York, this vessel arrives equipped and ready for serious fishing, extended cruising, and entertaining on Long Island Sound and beyond.

Power and Performance

Twin Yamaha 425hp XTO V-8 outboard engines deliver 850 total horsepower, propelling the S378 to a maximum speed of 48 knots while maintaining a comfortable 23-knot cruising speed. With 229 engine hours and 239 generator hours as of June 2026, these are well-maintained, relatively low-use powerplants. The 427-gallon fuel capacity supports extended offshore range, while the 45-gallon water capacity handles extended cruising. Electric Lenco trim tabs with auto-retract provide precise hull attitude control across varying sea states, and a 3.0 HP bow thruster with dedicated AGM battery adds valuable maneuvering assistance in confined spaces.

Hull and Structural Design

Pursuit's construction approach emphasizes durability and longevity. The hull features fresh white gelcoat over laminated fiberglass with vinyl ester resin and engineered fabrics, reinforced by a 5-ply resin-infused composite transom system with patented transom reinforcement grid. The infused fiberglass structural grid system incorporates molded finish and integrated bilge water management. Bronze thru-hull fittings below the waterline and stainless clad composite fittings above the 7-degree heel line reflect quality hardware selection. A dedicated transducer location and foam-filled structural grid support electronics integration and long-term structural integrity. Forward hull compartmentation includes three bilge pumps—one 900 GPH with automatic float switch and two 1500 GPH units with electric switches—ensuring reliable water management.

Deck and Cockpit Layout

The single-level splash well deck with non-skid provides safe athwartship access and clean sight lines. A mechanically fastened hull-deck joint with aluminum backing plates at cleat locations, combined with a high-density PVC rub rail featuring solid 316L stainless steel insert, protects the topsides during docking. The molded transom walkthrough with hinged door and magnetic catch facilitates crew movement and water access. Molded recessed hatches with gaskets and stainless latches, multiple grab rails (bow, midship, and transom mounted), and a self-draining cockpit with molded water management demonstrate attention to seaworthiness and safety.

The cockpit layout prioritizes both fishing and entertaining. Forward bow seating features insulated storage below with electric-actuating hinged backrests and a removable jump seat. A fiberglass forward table with removable base and designated storage sits adjacent to a bow sun pad chaise for two with tilt-up leg rest, armrests, and drink holders. Forward-facing seating for two accommodates additional guests. Custom cockpit upholstery with Dri-Fast foam and mesh backing resists moisture and mildew. An aft-facing molded cockpit seat with armrests and dedicated storage, combined with a folding transom seat featuring a patent-pending flipping backrest, provides flexible configurations for fishing or entertaining.

The triple helm seat configuration includes a center captain's chair with fore, aft, and vertical adjustments, flanked by folding armrests and footrests on port and starboard seats. Helm seat

2023 Pursuit S378: A 40-Foot Dual-Console Sportfish Yacht Built for Offshore Performance and Luxury Cruising
The 2023 Pursuit S378 represents a refined evolution in mid-size sportfish yacht design, combining a sophisticated dual-console layout with serious offshore fishing capability and the comfort systems expected in a modern luxury cruiser. Located in Huntington, NY, this 40-foot vessel is powered by twin Yamaha 425-horsepower XTO V-8 outboard engines, delivering a maximum speed of 48 knots and a comfortable cruising speed of 23 knots—a performance envelope that supports both rapid transit to distant fishing grounds and relaxed coastal exploration. With a beam of 12 feet, a draft of 3.17 feet, and a fuel capacity of 427 gallons paired with a 45-gallon freshwater system, the S378 is engineered for extended offshore operations while maintaining the shallow-draft capability that defines modern outboard-powered sportfishing yachts.
Overview: Design and Purpose
Pursuit has positioned the S378 as a bridge between dedicated fishing platforms and full-service cruising yachts. The hull features the brand's proprietary construction approach: a fresh white gelcoat finish over a laminated hull built with vinyl ester resin and engineered fabrics, reinforced by a five-ply resin-infused composite transom system with patented transom reinforcement grid. This structural methodology is designed to ensure durability in demanding offshore conditions while maintaining the light weight and fuel efficiency that outboard propulsion demands. The integrated fiberglass structural grid system includes molded finish and an engineered bilge water management system, with foam-filled compartments that contribute to the vessel's seaworthiness. The S378's practical design philosophy is evident in its deck layout, which prioritizes both working space and entertaining capacity. The molded one-piece deck and cockpit liner feature non-skid patterning and integrated overboard drains, while the self-draining cockpit incorporates molded water management and bronze ball valves at the hull sides—details that support the vessel's function as a working fishing platform. The transom is engineered for serious fishing operations: a molded transom walkthrough with hinged door and 316L stainless steel latches provides direct access to the water, while integrated transom platform extensions outboard of the engines create operational space for anglers and water-sports activities.
Layout and Deck Design
The S378's cockpit is configured as a multipurpose entertaining and fishing space that reflects Pursuit's understanding of modern boating expectations. Forward seating includes a molded bow area with electric-actuating hinged backrests for port and starboard seats, clear passage forward, and a removable jump seat for flexibility. A forward-facing chaise lounge accommodates two adults with tilt-up leg rests, armrests, and drink holders, while forward-facing seating for two additional passengers is positioned ahead of the chaise. This arrangement transforms the bow into a social gathering space during cruising or entertaining, while maintaining the open deck access necessary for fishing operations. The entertainment center, positioned aft of the bow seating, is molded with electric sliding operation and features Corian accents, a molded sink with hot and cold mixing faucet, an electric cockpit grill, and a 1.3-cubic-foot top-load refrigerator/freezer with hinged fiberglass lids. A cutting board and three entertainment-dedicated storage drawers support galley-style food preparation and beverage service in the cockpit, while a 120-volt outlet with GFI protection allows use of standard electrical appliances. This level of cockpit infrastructure enables the S378 to function as a floating entertainment platform, supporting everything from casual lunch service to full meal preparation without requiring transition to the cabin galley. Aft seating includes a molded cockpit seat with armrests and dedicated storage below, paired with a folding transom seat featuring a patent-pending flipping backrest. The helm station incorporates a triple captain's seat configuration with dedicated folding armrests and footrests for each position; the center seat includes fore, aft, and vertical adjustments to accommodate the helmsman's preference. This triple-seat arrangement reflects modern boating practice, allowing the primary operator to remain in an optimized helm position while accommodating a co-operator and a passenger in the helm area. The cockpit features a fresh water shower with hot and cold mixing valve and pull-out sprayer, plus raw and fresh water outlets with quick-connect fittings and a 25-foot hose—amenities that support extended cruising and water-sports activities. A side boarding door on the starboard side includes a removable and storable ladder for water play, while the full cockpit features breathable coaming bolsters with Dri-Fast foam. Seven LED cockpit courtesy lights (two at the bridge deck, three at bow seating and walkways, and two at cockpit steps) plus six LED blue mid-level accent lights create functional and ambient lighting, with a dockside fresh water inlet featuring pressure regulation completing the utility infrastructure.
Helm and Electronics
The helm station is positioned aft of the windshield and features a molded fiberglass design with aft tilting capability, an instrumentation visor, electronics mounting surface, fold-out fiberglass footrest/platform, and safety lanyard. The steering system uses a 316L stainless steel wheel with control knob and non-slip grip connected to Yamaha electric steering control with programmable steering friction, providing both precision and customization for the operator's preference. Navigation and situational awareness rely on a comprehensive Garmin electronics package: dual GPSMAP 8616 displays (one with XSV capability), an Airmar B175M 20-degree 1-kilowatt CHIRP transducer, NMEA 2000 starter kit, Pursuit custom dash panel, Yamaha gateway with cable, and a Garmin 315 VHF radio. This system configuration provides dual-screen chart plotting and fish-finding capability, networked through NMEA 2000 marine networking, enabling integrated display of navigation, sonar, and engine data across multiple helm stations. The Garmin GMR Fantom 54 open array antenna, noted in the factory options, provides solid-state radar capability without moving parts, supporting navigation in low-visibility conditions and vessel traffic awareness. Helm instrumentation includes a 12-volt panel with illuminated Carling rocker switches, a top-load glovebox on the starboard side containing a USB wireless phone charger, a single windshield wiper with washer control, a compass, trim tab control panel with indicator, and a JL Audio Media Master full-function display. Two 316L stainless steel drink holders, one 12-volt outlet, and dual USB chargers support the helmsman's comfort and device management during extended cruising or fishing operations. A helm fire extinguisher is mounted within immediate reach. The Yamaha electric steering system includes a bow thruster joystick control, enabling precise maneuvering in tight quarters, docking, and anchoring scenarios—a feature that significantly enhances operational capability for a vessel of this size. The bow thruster itself is a 3.0-horsepower unit (2.2 kilowatts) powered by a dedicated Group 31 AGM battery with switch and fuse, providing independent lateral thrust independent of main propulsion.
Fishing Features and Systems
The S378 is equipped with a comprehensive fishing system that supports offshore sportfishing operations. Ten stainless steel rod holders are distributed throughout the vessel: four in the gunwale, two in the transom, and four in the bow. Under-hardtop rod storage includes three positions on the port side and two on the starboard side, while additional under-hardtop rod storage provides two more positions on each side. A lockable rod storage locker in the cabin provides secure storage for valuable rods, while a cockpit tackle center accommodates four Plano trays for organized tackle management. The livewell system features a lighted Oceana Blue 36-gallon recirculating insulated livewell with fiberglass lid and acrylic window positioned under the gunwale, allowing anglers to maintain bait and catch in optimal conditions. Two insulated fish boxes, each with 41-gallon capacity, are positioned port and starboard with diaphragm pumps and overboard discharge, providing redundant systems for preserving fish catch during extended offshore operations. The hardtop structure includes aluminum reinforcement plates and dedicated wiring for downrigger installation on the aft gunwale, port and starboard, supporting the installation of electric downrigger systems for trolling operations. Six tri-color overhead LED lights mounted in the hardtop provide night operation capability, while indirect lighting over the dash supports low-light helm operations. Two aft-facing spreader lights and one forward-facing spreader light provide

The system operates independently without requiring trim tabs or additional fuel consumption, and it functions effectively across a wide speed range from displacement cruising to full-throttle running. For anglers, the stabilizer maintains a steadier boat angle, improving casting accuracy and lure presentation. For family cruising, it reduces motion sickness and fatigue, making extended offshore passages more enjoyable for all passengers. The SeaKeeper 3 is particularly valuable in the Atlantic waters off Long Island, where variable sea conditions are common.
