1996 Ocean Yachts 48 Super Sport

Step aboard and you’ll notice how bright and open this 48 feels, with big salon windows and that classic Ocean Yachts sightline straight from the helm into the cockpit. The bridge layout gives the skipper a secure perch with great visibility on the spread, while guests have plenty of seating to stay part of the action underway. In the cockpit, there’s room to rig baits, set up a couple of chairs, or lay out a cleaning station without feeling crowded. Wide side decks and solid rails make line handling and anchoring less of a dance and more of a stroll, even when it’s bumpy. It’s a boat that still feels thoroughly modern where it counts: space, comfort, and fishability.

The 48 Super Sport is a sweet spot for waters where you might run offshore in the morning and tuck into a protected harbor by evening. Its size gives you the range and seakeeping to push out confidently on a choppy forecast, yet it’s still manageable for an owner-operator in tighter marinas and shallow approaches. The elevated bridge and generous bow flare help keep the ride dry when afternoon wind kicks up, and the three-stateroom layout means family or crew can comfortably overnight between runs. For anglers, that big cockpit and quick access to the engine room make turnarounds between trips straightforward, even when conditions demand you move fast.
