Key to the popularity of the Ocean 38 SS was her handsome good looks and a potent combination of speed and open-water agility. Like all Ocean designs, she rides on a tapered, low-deadrise hull with moderate beam and cored hullsides. She is equipped with Twin 375hp Caterpillar 3208T. Call and schedule an appointment.

This is a two-stateroom arrangement with the galley in the salon with plenty of teak joinery and decorator fabrics, and included a separate stall shower in the head as well as a walkaround double berth in the bow stateroom. One of the more appealing aspects of the Ocean 38 is her serviceable engine room. The cockpit is set up for serious fishing and includes a tackle center, freezer, teak sole, and teak covering boards. A stiff ride in a chop, 375hp Caterpillar diesels cruise at a fast 26–27 knots and reach 30+ knots top. Note that a new Ocean 38 SS model was introduced in 1992.
