Ocean Yachts For Sale

Ocean Yachts is a legacy New Jersey builder based in Egg Harbor City, launched in 1977 by Jack Leek, and best known for building value-forward, fast sportfishing convertibles and cruising-oriented cockpit yachts. The brand’s core identity is tied to its Super Sport and sportfish platforms, boats designed to run efficiently at speed while still offering real cruising accommodations, an approach highlighted in period sea trials like Yachting’s review of the 57 Super Sport, which emphasized the advantage of “speed over ground” for both fishing and cruising owners. On the brokerage market, Ocean models commonly seen (and frequently searched) include the 48 Super Sport, 56/57 Super Sport, and later 50–58 Super Sport generations, along with models like the 37 Billfish and multiple Super Sport sizes documented in model directories.

Among competitors, Ocean historically sat in the production sportfish arena—often cross-shopped by buyers comparing layout, ride, and price against brands like Viking and Cabo (as reflected in owner/buyer discussions), positioning Ocean as a compelling “big sportfish capability for the money” option in many years. Because most Oceans in circulation today are brokerage boats (rather than a steady stream of new-model launches), “recent awards” are less central to the story than enduring popularity and the model reputations built through long-running press coverage and owner communities. In real life, Ocean owners tend to use these boats for exactly what the layouts were built around: serious offshore fishing (including tournament-style weekend trips), plus family cruising and entertaining, fast runs to the grounds or the next port, then comfortable time aboard in the salon, cockpit, and bridge. Ocean Yachts closed their doors in early 2016 with the announcement that Viking Yachts would acquire the company and assets.
