2002 Pursuit 3800 Express

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the sheer volume of the 3800 Express sets it apart. Wide side decks with secure handholds make it easy to move forward to the bow, even when the sea is up. The helm is elevated with excellent sightlines over the bow and aft into the spread, and the companion seating keeps crew close for long runs to the grounds. Below, the joinery and fit-and-finish feel more like a cruising yacht than a pure fish boat, with real cabinetry, generous headroom, and a proper enclosed head with a separate shower. The hull’s deep forefoot and substantial weight deliver a reassuring ride when the chop stacks up.

This 3800 Express is particularly well-suited to the mixed conditions found in this region. The hull has the range and seakeeping to run offshore for pelagics, yet it’s manageable enough for weekend hops between inlets or along the back bays. The reliable twin inboard setup and generous fuel capacity make it a confident choice when weather windows are tight and runs are long. At the same time, the comfortable cabin, climate control, and real galley invite overnighting at the dock or on the hook after a day on the grounds. It’s a capable crossover for both serious fishing and relaxed coastal cruising here.
