Ocean Yachts 42 SS First Glance

  • By John Brownlee
  • Updated: June 8, 2006

The original Ocean Yachts 42 Super Sport hit the market in the early ’80s and became an overnight success. It combined a large cockpit with a stable hull design, and like all Oceans the boat ran fast with relatively small engines. It also happened to be one of the better-looking boats the company ever built.

With this illustrious history in mind, I looked forward to running the new version of the 42 SS. I tested the boat in Naples, Florida, courtesy of Florida Yacht

But Tom Butz of FYS assured me that we were looking at the right one.

The new 42-footer boasts a spacious cockpit and a sumptuous interior (another Ocean trademark) in a very well proportioned package. The sleek lines that are the hallmark of Ocean Yachts’ current styling create a handsome look overall and an extremely functional design in the real world, something every Ocean Yacht possesses. This 42 represents yet another chapter in the company’s ongoing success story.
