The S 358 by Pursuit marks a new milestone as the first center console of its size in Pursuit’s Sport lineup. The bow features wraparound seating, and by adjusting the backrests, you can create two lounging areas. The motorized bow table can be raised halfway to transform into a sun pad or elevated further for dining purposes. It can also be lowered to serve as a footrest or laid flat on the deck.
Above, a fiberglass hardtop shelters the helm station, which includes triple seating and an ergonomically designed dashboard, all protected by a three-sided tempered-glass windshield. Additionally, the starboard-side split foldaway mezzanine seats can be folded down, unveiling a remarkable entertainment center.
Access to the cabin is granted through a port-side console door, where you’ll find an air-conditioned environment complete with wooden cabinetry, a compact galley, a V-berth, a settee, and a flat-screen television. Notably, this Pursuit is among a select group of center-consoles of its size featuring an enclosed wet head. Twin skylights and opening portholes provide ample natural light and airflow.
At the rear, the shaded summer galley is equipped with an electric grill, refrigerator, and sink. The foldout trays convert to two aft-facing mezzanine seats, enhanced by a fold-down transom bench, creating a gathering spot in the rear cockpit.
On the angling front, the spacious cockpit provides ample fishing features: a 32-gallon live well, 12 rod holders, a tackle center, alongside insulated fish boxes located in the port and starboard in-sole, complete with diaphragm pump-outs. Optional 18-foot Taco Marine outriggers are available. A standard inward-opening door on the starboard side facilitates the easy board of a tuna or swordfish and also serves as a dive door or entry point from the dock.
The swim platforms extend well to the rear, ensuring stable re-boarding after swimming and providing access to the dual Yamaha outboards.
