Pursuit OS 445 Best of both worlds.
P
ursuit has a new flagship, the Offshore (OS) 445, and this model promises to extend days on the water into idyllic nights as well. Blending the best of both fishing and cruising worlds, the new OS 445 is sure to impress the entire family. “The OS 445 will be the largest boat we have ever built at Pursuit,” notes Christopher Gratz, vice president of engineering for Pursuit Boats. Early renderings show the bridge deck as the real star, with its galley-up design — an extremely popular layout that’s now widely adopted — which brings the chef into the center of the conversation, surrounded by ample seating for guests. The bridge deck offers open air enjoyment but can quickly be fully enclosed when the weather changes. Yacht-style bulwarks provide ease of passage from cockpit to foredeck, where there is well-appointed entertaining and cabana space. When the party ends, retire in style below deck

with dual staterooms to accommodate your family or guests with amenities, fabrics and lighting completed in a yacht-like manner. Keep in mind that Pursuit is not giving up on fishing. In-floor fishboxes, room for tackle and additional storage in the bilge, and easy access to the equipment room are part of the Pursuit pedigree. The offshore capabilities of the OS 445 are deeply embedded in the proven design. A 13-foot, 10-inch beam, a Seakeeper for stability and a 20-degree deadrise combine for a comfortable ride. And ride you will, thanks to a 600-gallon fuel tank and Yamaha power that will let you chase fish in any environment or cruise to remote islands when you need a break. Overall length of this new beauty is just a tad over 46 feet. First boats are due to arrive at dealer showrooms throughout the summer with orders booked well into the 2023 model year. H
