Imagine spacious helm areas with comfy Stidd seats, top-notch Garmin MFDs, and the muscle of Yamaha outboards.

VESSEL OVERVIEW


Cruising into the spotlight as the second-largest gem in Pursuit's Offshore (OS) lineup, the OS 405 seamlessly blends the thrill of bluewater fishing with luxurious overnight comfort. At 43 feet, this new vessel boasts a sleek silhouette, updated styling, and a commitment to raising the bar in design.

ENGINES AND PERFORMANCE


Powered by a trio of Yamaha XTO 450 outboards and controlled with Yamaha Helm Master EX and joystick docking ease, this powerhouse achieves speeds in the mid-50s. Navigating through choppy waters is a smooth experience thanks to the deep-V hull, while the Yamaha Helm Master EX system and Lewmar bow thruster simplify the docking process. It's about practicality and ease on the water. Whether you're chasing thrills or enjoying leisurely pursuits, the OS 405 elevates the experience with standard features like the Seakeeper 6 gyrostabilizer for ultimate comfort. With as much open ocean boating I’ve done, I can truly say it is an appreciated addition.

COCKPIT


For angling enthusiasts, the open and easy-to-maintain cockpit is a haven. A lighted Oceana Blue 50-gallon recirculating livewell and in-cockpit-floor fish boxes of 39 and 50 gallons enhance the fishing experience. When the catch is reeled in, a hullside door welcomes it aboard, and a 75-gallon refrigerator/freezer stands ready. Mezzanine seats and a folding transom seat line the space, with ample rod holders strategically placed.

HELM STATION


At the helm, the captain and companion are treated to a stylish ride with Stidd seating, positioned behind a panoramic single-piece windshield and facing dual 22-inch Garmin MFDs. Side windows provide extra weather protection, while hardtop skylights usher in natural light.

BRIDGE DECK


Shielded by a streamlined hardtop that includes a sweeping single-piece, optically clear front windshield and side windows, the air-conditioned bridge deck offers practical features such as Stidd captain and companion chairs and wraparound seating - including a dining table to port that creates a social space around a convenient dining table.

Seeking rest and relaxation? The air-conditioned cabin beckons with an island-style forward berth that electrically converts into a lounging position, a mid-cabin guest room, and a full galley entertainment area equipped with a sink, a microwave, a refrigerator, and a 32-inch TV. A hanging locker keeps belongings tidy, and a private head features a shower.
