Far offshore and distant from any other vessel, Ocean Master owners safely and confidently ply deep waters. This self-assurance is due in part to the inherent stability designed into each and every boat the company builds. Several factors come into play when considering seaworthiness. First and foremost is the hull shape itself. Ocean Masters are designed with a flaring vee form that softens aft for faster planing—even with a single engine. The company purposefully does not sacrifice stability in pursuit of top-end speed by adding steps. Instead, it relies on a time-tested form that performs in grueling, real-world conditions.
The hull is also formed to reduce spray. Combined with high gunnels and transoms, boaters remain dry when water gets rough.
Ocean Master boats are overbuilt. Massive, full-height stringers are glassed into the laminate—up to 20 layers in the larger models—and the innerliner deck is permanently fused to the stringers and hull sides. The result is a stiff and rock-solid vessel that can take the pounding often found in the harshest offshore environments.
A stable, soft ride offshore is more than simple comfort. It’s a safety issue that Ocean Master has taken seriously for over 40 years. The company builds eight models of semi-custom skiff and offshore center console boats, from 27’–33′ 6″.
