Most anglers would agree that a successful day on the water means more than a good catch. Having a comfortable boat that can handle rough water and is easy to fish from, is vital to enjoying the sport. Pursuit, a division of S2 Yachts, builds thirteen different models of luxurious and sporty offshore fishing boats ranging from 23 to 40 feet. Several double as fine cruising and utility boats for cottage country.

The 2570 Offshore is what Pursuit terms an express-style machine. If you have never sat in an offshore boat like this, you are in for a treat. Visibility is great and it has a fiberglass hardtop that gives sun protection and shelter in bad weather. You certainly won't feel claustrophobic. The Pursuit's wide-open cockpit will appeal to large families and boaters who entertain. Should cruising be your thing, the spacious and functional cabin lets you overnight in style.

Happen to be a fisherman? All the better. Under various seat cushions, we found a number fish boxes and bait wells, one of which is actually painted light blue to "calm" the bait. Hey, it's stressful being a minnow these days! 

Lifting the rear bench, we discovered a "big-catch well" that also performs as a cooler. This tub, so to speak, lifts out completely for access to batteries etc. A "small-catch well" is located just behind the operator's chair. We liked the aft bench that has stress-buckles to latch down and prevent rattles.The hinge itself is full-width. Seat pads snap off and are made from quick-drain foam. For clean ups, a fresh-water wash down hose is located in the cockpit near the sink on the starboard side. A second stainless steel sink can be found in the cabin.

For added comfort and convenience, the helm and companion seats swivel and incorporate large armrests. We liked the aft-facing jump seats with their tall, firm back-supports. Realistically, the boat can carry plenty of weight but seven passengers seated in the cockpit appears to be ideal.

Boats this size are often constructed with multiple panels in the cockpit, but in the Pursuit, a one-piece, raised diamond- pattern non-skid floor makes for level, sure-footed traction. There are two handy step pads on both sides of the boat and a wide walking surface leading to the 2570's flush deck forward. Obviously safety is a priority.

Entering the cabin through the companionway sliding door, the simple, fresh looking décor is inviting. The berth looks great with its standard striped Cabana fabric. To starboard is a china bowl head with hidden holding tank and macerator.

Pursuit pairs tradition with technology every step of the way, including the methods in which the 2570 is constructed. Built for reliability at sea, the hull is strong, quiet and well engineered. Weighing 5,480 lbs. with a single 250 Yamaha, there wasn't any water in sight that could make us back down.

Whether cruising at 30 mph or WOT at 37, this hull turns perfectly, even with the engine trimmed out.
