About Ocean Master Sportfishing Boats
Ocean Master builds center console, express and cuddy / walkaround sportfishing boats ranging in size from 18 to 34 feet. The current model line includes 18, 27, 31, 33 and 34-foot sportfishing boats. Ocean Master boats are designed to handle to rigors of serious offshore and nearshore fishing. As a Florida boat builder and manufacturer, we have a 30 year track record of building serious fishing machines for hardcore anglers.
Power options include 2-stroke direct injection / 4-stroke outboards along with diesel inboard and diesel I/O sterndrive configurations. Buyers can choose from either single or twin engine power on their Ocean Master boats. Single and twin-engine options are available on both center console and express boat configurations – both outboard and diesel powered. We also offer a number of stern layouts including traditional notched transoms, single and twin brackets and Porta brackets to reduce draft.
Our fiberglass hulls are semi-custom meaning every customer gets exactly the boat they desire. Options are limited only the customer’s imagination – from simple t-tops to pilothouses to customized tuna and marling towers and anything in between. Single, twin or even triple outboards are no problem. Or diesel if fuel economy and range are what you need in your fishing boat. Or if you want to customize your boat for cruising, we can do that too with our express and superconsole models!
Every Ocean Master sportfishing boat offers plenty of wet and dry storage including massive fishboxes. Custom storage configurations, both insulated and un-insulated, are available.
Ocean Master center consoles have long been the favorite of professional fishing captains, charter boats and tournament anglers – afterall, it’s hard to be a contender if your boat is not up to world-class standards. Our vessels are also in use by commercial towing and rescue operations worldwide. Even the US Navy has Ocean Master boats in use in one of their toughest offshore locations!
We are based in south Florida and have been building semi-custom boats for over 30 years. The company has remained 100% owned and operated by its founder, Mark Hauptner, who continues to oversee every single Ocean Master built. Mark holds 14 world records and 6 national championships in powerboat performance racing. Mark is also a member of the American Powerboat Association "Hall of Champions" and the "Gulf Hall of Fame." It is fair to say he is one of the pioneer Florida fishing boat builders and manufacturers.
Ocean Masters are known for being bullet-proof and that is not an exaggeration. Consider the hull on the 31, it is hand laid with 20 layers of solid fiberglass and is over an inch thick. We’ve even done tests where we actually shot the hull with a gun and it stopped the bullet dead in its track. When you put this much solid, hand laid fiberglass in your hull, it assures durability. When you’re 100 miles from shore, this is good thing indeed.
Our customers are some of the most fanatical fishermen and anglers on the planet – they rely on their Ocean Master boat when they’re offshore chasing dolphin, marlin, sailfish, tarpon and sportfish. Our outboard powered center console boats are particularly popular with this group of customers.
But if you’re looking for a cruising style, we can also provide your dream boat. We offer cuddy, walkaround and express versions of our boats and they can be fully outfitted for overniting and extended cruising. Our diesel engine models are a favorite of the cruisers due to their extended range and improved fuel economy. A diesel powered Ocean Master Express is a long-range cruising machine, able to reach to furthest island or remote destination with amenities that only an express cabin makes possible.
If you fall somewhere in between the fishing and cruising crowd, you may want to consider one of our new pilothouse models that offers increased weather protection over a center console. A recent delivery of a pilothouse diesel has drawn excellent reviews from commercial agencies.
The bottom line is this - we have a 30-year track record of building some of the world’s finest and most reliable offshore fishing boats. We invite you to come see what makes Ocean Master the best there is.
