Description
A rare opportunity to own a beautifully maintained, one owner from new Aqua-Star Ocean Ranger 38 Flybridge, renowned for its robust build quality, sea-keeping ability, and timeless design. Powered by twin Volvo Penta TAMD63L 318hp diesel engines with just 560 engine hours, this capable cruiser delivers strong performance with reassuring efficiency. The spacious flybridge and aft deck are perfect for entertaining, while the deep, secure side decks and high freeboard offer peace of mind underway. Below deck, the Ocean Ranger boasts a well-appointed interior with generous accommodation. This flybridge motorboat has the scope to be adapted to a variety of uses both leisure and commercial in nature.
Aqua-Star Ocean Ranger: Timeless Design, Unmatched Seakeeping... For over four decades, Aqua-Star has been a byword for rugged construction, elegant lines, and exceptional sea-keeping abilities. Among its most respected and versatile models is the Aqua-Star Ocean Ranger—a range of semi-displacement motor yachts that blends the robust DNA of a working vessel with the comfort and sophistication of a cruising yacht. Aqua-Star began life on the Channel Island of Guernsey, originally building commercial hulls for pilot and patrol vessels. This commercial-grade heritage set the foundation for the Ocean Ranger series: built to handle the roughest conditions with confidence and control, while offering luxury and comfort for leisure cruising.
Ocean Ranger 38 & 40: Cult ClassicsTwo of the most iconic models in the line-up, the Ocean Ranger 38 and 40, showcase everything that makes Aqua-Star revered among experienced mariners. Their solid GRP hulls, deep keels, and long waterlines provide exceptional directional stability and fuel efficiency—perfect for long-range cruising in both coastal and offshore waters. With a wide beam and intelligently laid-out interiors, these boats offer generous accommodation below deck, typically featuring twin cabins, a separate shower room, and a bright, elevated saloon with commanding views. The flybridge versions add a second helm station and social space, ideal for summer passages and entertaining.
Typically powered by twin Volvo Penta or Caterpillar diesels, the Ocean Ranger cruises efficiently in the 16–20 knot range, with top-end speeds approaching 24 knots, depending on engine choice. Importantly, the semi-displacement hull allows for lower-speed cruising in comfort and safety, with excellent fuel economy and minimum slamming in head seas. Side decks are deep and secure, with high guardrails, making the Ocean Ranger a safe platform for family use or short-handed operation. Many models include bow and stern thrusters, electric windlasses, and upgraded navigation systems, making them user-friendly and capable.
The Ocean Ranger has developed a cult following among discerning owners who value solid build, sea-kindly performance, and understated style. These boats are often kept for many years and maintained to high standards, with resale values reflecting their enduring appeal and trusted reputation. In a world of flashy hull designs and mass production, the Aqua-Star Ocean Ranger stands apart as a serious motor yacht for serious cruising. Whether navigating the Solent or voyaging across the Channel, it delivers reassurance, comfort, and timeless style. For anyone seeking a proven offshore performer that doesn’t compromise on comfort or craftsmanship, the Aqua-Star Ocean Ranger remains a standout choice.
