The Ocean 56 Super Sport is a diesel-powered convertible built on a 56-foot fiberglass hull with a 16-foot 10-inch beam. Twin Caterpillar engines deliver 1,600 horsepower total. The boat accommodates three staterooms and three heads, with a full-beam master suite and a floorplan that closely mirrors the larger 60 SS model. The upper bridge deck is notably spacious and shares the same layout as the 60 SS.
In 2012, the boat underwent extensive mechanical refurbishment: the original Cat 3406 engines were replaced with Caterpillar rebuilds, new transmissions were installed, and a new Westerbeke 15 kW genset was added. The entire hull was refinished with Awlgrip paint during this same period. Since then, the bridge enclosure was renewed in 2025 and engine batteries were replaced in 2026. The rebuilt engines have logged just 140 hours since installation; the generator shows 180 hours.
