Who owns Pursuit Boats?

Pursuit Boats was acquired by Malibu Boats (NASDAQ: MBUU) in October 2018 from the Slikkers-family-owned S2 Yachts. The Slikkers family continues to own and operate Tiara Yachts and Tiara Sport under the S2 Yachts umbrella, while Pursuit now operates as a Malibu Boats brand from Fort Pierce, Florida.

Where are Pursuit Boats made?

Pursuit Boats are built in Fort Pierce, Florida, where the company has operated since 1983. Pursuit was originally launched in 1977 as a fishing-boat line under Leon Slikkers' S2 Yachts, and the brand has continued to build Offshore, Sport, Dual Console, and Center Console outboard boats from the Fort Pierce facility through multiple ownership changes.

Who makes Pursuit Boats?

Pursuit Boats are manufactured by Pursuit Boats, a brand of Malibu Boats since 2018. Production continues at Pursuit's Fort Pierce, Florida facility under the Pursuit name, with hulls built in-house rather than contract-built elsewhere.

Are Pursuit Boats good?

Pursuit has a long-standing reputation as a premium saltwater outboard fishing and dual-console builder, dating to its 1977 launch under the Slikkers family at S2 Yachts, with consistent third-party boat-test coverage from outlets like Power & Motoryacht and Saltwater Sportsman. On the used market, build quality on any specific Pursuit depends on model, year, maintenance, and refit history, so a current survey and engine inspection are the right basis for a decision rather than brand reputation alone.

How much do Pursuit Boats cost?

New Pursuit pricing depends heavily on series (Offshore, Sport, Dual Console, Center Console), length, outboard package, and options, and is best confirmed with an HMY Yachts Pursuit specialist or the factory. On the used side, the active HMY Yachts inventory currently spans 26 to 44 feet across model years 1985 to 2024, so asking prices vary widely by length, year, power, and equipment level.

Pursuit's own history traces the brand from Leon Slikkers' 1977 vision through the 1983 move to Fort Pierce, Florida and today's Offshore, Sport, Dual Console, and Center Console lines. The active used Pursuit inventory on HMY Yachts currently runs from 26 to 44 feet and model years 1985 to 2024, so buyers are comparing older Express and OS hulls alongside more recent S, DC, and OS Offshore builds.

For a used Pursuit, the major comparison points are series and model (Offshore, Sport, Dual Console, Center Console), year, outboard brand and hours, fuel capacity, electronics suite, hardtop or T-top setup, head compartment and cabin configuration, livewell layout, and refit or repower history. Older Express and OS hulls often differ significantly from newer DC and S models in cockpit layout and electronics, so condition and equipment matter as much as length.
