OC3 4.8 - 5.5
OC3 4.8-5.5m
The OC3 4.8–5.5m is the latest addition to the Ocean range, designed as a natural step up from the OC1 while retaining the same proven and practical layout options.
Available in lengths from 4.8 metres to 5.5 metres, and featuring a wider 2.1 metre beam, the OC3 offers increased onboard space, enhanced stability, and greater versatility across a wide range of uses. The wider beam improves balance at rest and confidence-inspiring handling underway, making the OC3 suitable for both coastal conditions and inland waterways.
The familiar OC1 layout options have been carefully scaled up for the OC3, allowing owners to choose a configuration that suits leisure boating, fishing, or practical day use, while benefiting from the additional length and width of this larger platform.
The OC3 can be powered by a range of outboard engines from 40hp to 90hp, depending on intended use and specification, offering flexibility from efficient cruising to higher-performance setups.
With its stability, space, and adaptable layouts, the OC3 makes an ideal family boat and is equally well suited as a safety or support vessel for clubs, events, and water-based activities.
Bare boat prices start from around £12000, with final pricing varying depending on layout, specification, and optional extras. As with all Ocean models, most boats are built to order, allowing customers to tailor layouts, finishes, and features to their individual requirements.

HERITAGE
05/05
Gerry’s love of boats began at a young age, spending much of his childhood holidays fishing and boating. From the age of ten, when he was given his first boat, time on the water became a constant part of his life.
After settling in Somerset, that passion was reignited when a friend introduced him to offshore boating on a RIB. Experiencing the way these boats handled at sea, particularly in more challenging conditions, sparked a deeper interest in performance, safety, and hull design.
When the opportunity to take on Ocean Ribs arose, it felt like a natural progression. Combining years of hands-on boating experience with a clear vision for practical, capable boats, Gerry knew this was the right direction and embraced the opportunity to build and develop the Ocean range.
