2008 Ocean Yachts 42 Super Sport

The 2008 Ocean Yachts 42 Super Sport is a convertible built around the balance Ocean has long pursued in this market class—genuine fishing capability paired with comfortable cruising accommodation in a manageable 42-foot package. Twin Caterpillar diesel engines deliver 1,020 horsepower, pushing the boat to 30 knots at speed and cruising efficiently at 25 knots. The fiberglass hull spans 15 feet of beam, giving the design stability and interior volume.

Topside, the cockpit is purpose-built for fishing with a transom livewell, insulated fish boxes, raw and fresh water washdowns, and rod holders throughout. A teak table serves casual entertaining, while a rocket launcher accommodates outriggers for larger game. The helm and flybridge command excellent sightlines, and engine access forward of the salon door aids routine maintenance.

The interior mixes teak joinery with practical layout. The salon holds an L-shaped leatherette settee to port and a dinette with entertainment center to starboard, while the galley sits forward. Two staterooms below—a master with athwartship queen berth and ensuite head, plus a VIP with double berth—pair with two full heads to provide comfort for family or guests.

Recent service included a full 1,000-hour engine overhaul with replacement heat exchangers and after coolers, along with belts and hoses. Navigation relies on an updated Garmin system featuring a 26-inch display and two smaller screens for flexible chart viewing.
