1998 Ocean Yachts 45 Super Sport

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the cockpit is laid out for serious action—deep, secure coamings, a wide transom door, and enough room to dance around a bent rod without stepping on your crew. The molded tackle center and in-deck fishboxes keep the business end organized, while the high freeboard gives a reassuring sense of security when the weather pipes up. On the bridge, the sightlines are classic Ocean: you can watch your spread, read the water, and still keep an eye on the cockpit. Below, the raised dinette and big windows make the salon feel bright even on gray days, and there’s ample stowage to actually live aboard for more than a weekend.

This 45 Super Sport is a smart match for local waters where you might run offshore at dawn and be back on the hook for sunset drinks. The efficient Detroits let you cover the miles to the canyons or outer ledges without burning through the fuel budget, while the deep-vee hull softens up the tight, stacked chop this area is known for. When the breeze turns against the tide, the boat’s wide beam and solid tracking keep things comfortable. At the dock or on a mooring, the generous cockpit and inviting salon make her just as suitable for dockside entertaining as for the next overnighter offshore.
