She’s built on the same proven modified-V hull used in the production of her sistership, the Ocean 40 SS, with a sharp entry, a shallow keel and a relatively wide 14-foot, 2- inch beam. Rather than being a dedicated fishing boat, the 40 Sport Fish is better described as a capable fisherman with a comfortable cruising interior. This is a great boat for South Florida and the Bahamas!

An innovative cabin layout and a notably affordable price are among the attributes of the Ocean 40 Sport Fish, a good-looking open sport fisherman whose highly elevated bridge deck and spacious mid-cabin interior set her apart from most other express fishing boats of her type. A good performer, twin 420hp Cat diesels cruise the Ocean 40 Sport Fish at 23 knots and reach 30+ knots wide open.
Note that the engine long blocks were replaced 750 hours ago by Caterpillar and a new Phasor 8 kw genset was replaced 1200 hours ago. Both run terrific!
The Garmin suite of electronics is particularly noteworthy. Includes a number of fishing waypoints in the Bahamas.
This is an ideal sportfisher for charter purposes and a terrific platform to fish/ dive comfortably between Florida and the Bahamas. “Necessity” has received continual service and care. Note new bottom paint, boot stripe and cutlass bearings January, 2022
