Our Thoughts

This 2004 Ocean Yachts 50 Convertible represents a well-executed offshore cruiser and sportfish platform, maintained to a standard that reflects serious ownership and professional stewardship. Anchored in Point Pleasant, New Jersey, she embodies the classic appeal of the Ocean 50—a proven 16.8-foot beam design that balances seaworthiness with livable accommodations for extended coastal and offshore operations.

Propulsion & Performance

Twin Detroit Diesel Series 60 engines power the vessel with notably low running hours at 1,250 total—a significant advantage for an engine platform known for durability and reliability in commercial and marine service. Recent major service work in 2025 included turbocharged overhauls and new engine couplers, while 2026 propeller reconditioning and fresh Kryptо Quiet Strut bearings underscore ongoing mechanical attention. An Onan 17kW generator with 2,152 hours supports the electrical and climate control systems throughout the vessel. A Glendinning Gear Controller and Cablemaster system manage transmission engagement and docking operations, while a bow thruster added in 2024 enhances maneuverability in confined waters.

Electronics & Navigation

The helm is outfitted with a comprehensive Garmin electronics suite built around three Garmin 8616 and 8612 multifunction displays configured for plotter, sounder, and radar functionality across the main helm, secondary station, and cockpit haunch positions. Garmin Reactor autopilot with GHC 20 head unit handles long-range steering, while Garmin 800 AIS integration and GMI 20 marine instrument display provide real-time vessel traffic and performance monitoring. Dual Icom M510 VHF radios ensure redundant communication, and a Flir thermal night vision camera with ACR RL-100 spotlight control supports low-light navigation and situational awareness. The 2024 electronics package refresh reflects current marine technology standards.

Accommodations & Interior

The Plan "A" layout sleeps six across three staterooms with dedicated heads. The master stateroom features a queen berth, en-suite head with shower, and satin-finish teak cabinetry throughout. Forward guest accommodations include an island queen with en-suite head access, while a starboard guest stateroom with twin berths provides flexible sleeping arrangements. All staterooms feature individual climate control, storage cabinetry, and integrated stereo systems with speakers. The salon showcases an L-shaped port sofa, starboard barrel chair, and entertainment system anchored by a Bose surround sound center with television. A drop-leaf dining table and Hunter Douglas Silhouette blinds complete the space. Wallpaper, carpeting, and Amtico flooring throughout maintain a cohesive, decorated interior.

The galley is equipped with electric stove, microwave/convection oven (refreshed 2022), refrigerator, freezer, and wine chiller (both new 2024), Corian countertops, central vacuum system, trash compactor, garbage disposal, and integrated washer/dryer for extended cruising autonomy.

Fishing & Cockpit Systems

The cockpit is purpose-built for sportfish operations with a live fish well, trolling valves, six rod holders, and a Rupp 38-foot outrigger system paired with a six-rod Rocket launcher on the aft bridge rail. Two large in-deck fish boxes with macerator discharge, a cockpit sink, and transom

2004 Ocean Yachts 50 Convertible: A Well-Maintained Offshore Sportfish with Premium Electronics and Comprehensive Recent Updates
Overview
The 2004 Ocean Yachts 50 Convertible represents a proven platform in the convertible sportfish category, measuring 50 feet in length with a 16.8-foot beam. This vessel is configured in the popular Plan "A" layout, featuring a queen berth forward in the master stateroom and accommodations for six owners and guests across three staterooms. The yacht is powered by reliable Series 60 Detroit Diesel engines with exceptionally low running hours at 1,250, supported by a 17-kilowatt Onan generator. Located in Point Pleasant, New Jersey, this Ocean 50 has benefited from meticulous owner care and a substantial list of recent upgrades and service completions that underscore its current operational readiness. The appeal of the Ocean 50 Convertible lies in its balance of comfortable cruising accommodations, serious fishing capability, and proven seaworthiness. Convertible sportfish yachts in this size range serve owners who want the ability to run offshore for extended periods while maintaining cabin comfort and entertaining space. The 50-foot length and established hull design provide stability and sea-keeping characteristics valued for both fishing pursuits and family cruising in variable conditions.
Layout and Accommodations
The three-stateroom, two-head configuration supports extended cruising and entertaining. The master stateroom is positioned to port with an en-suite head and shower, featuring a queen berth as the centerpiece. The forward guest stateroom includes an island queen berth with en-suite head access and shower, while the aft starboard guest stateroom provides twin berths, offering flexibility for crew or additional guests. This arrangement allows the vessel to function as both a fishing platform and a comfortable overnight cruising yacht. The salon serves as the social hub, accessed from the starboard side of the cockpit. An L-shaped sofa to port provides generous seating, complemented by a barrel chair and entertainment system to starboard. The dinette to starboard forward and a large peninsula galley to port create defined zones within the open plan. The satin finish teak interior throughout contributes to the warm, traditional aesthetic typical of quality convertible yachts from this era. The galley is equipped for extended cruising and entertaining, with electric stove, microwave/convection oven combination, refrigerator and freezer, and a wine chiller installed in 2024. The addition of a clothes washer and clothes dryer supports longer voyages where laundry facilities are essential. A trash compactor and garbage disposal manage waste efficiently, while Corian countertops and Amtico flooring provide durable, low-maintenance surfaces. Central vacuum system and a water heater complete the galley and general interior functionality. Both heads feature shower compartments, Corian vanity tops with sinks, and electric heads with holding tank capacity. Overboard and recirculating options provide flexibility depending on location and environmental considerations. Wallpapered finishes, medicine cabinets, and exhaust fans in each head reflect attention to comfort and ventilation. Throughout the accommodations, air conditioning and heating controls in each stateroom and the salon maintain climate comfort. Stereo systems with speakers and CD players in the master stateroom, forward guest stateroom, and aft guest stateroom provide entertainment, while the salon features a Bose surround sound entertainment center with television. Hunter Douglas Silhouette blinds manage light and privacy throughout the vessel.
Helm and Electronics
The helm station is equipped with a comprehensive electronics package that supports both offshore navigation and fishing operations. Two Garmin 8616 multifunction display units serve as the primary plotting, sonar, and radar interface, with an additional Garmin 8612 MFD mounted at the helm and a fourth Garmin 8612 positioned at the cockpit haunch for convenient access during fishing. This redundancy and positioning ensures critical navigation data is visible from multiple stations. The Garmin Reactor Autopilot, paired with a Garmin GHC 20 autopilot head, provides hands-free steering capability essential for extended offshore runs and trolling operations. A Garmin 800 AIS receiver enhances collision avoidance and vessel tracking awareness. The Garmin GMI 20 marine instrument display consolidates engine, environmental, and system data in a centralized format. Communication is handled by two Icom M510 VHF radios, ensuring redundancy and the ability to monitor different channels simultaneously. The 4-inch compass and Detroit Diesel Station Command system provide traditional navigation references and engine monitoring. A Glendinning Gear Controller manages transmission control, while the Glendinning Cablemaster automates anchor handling. The helm features LED multi-color overhead lighting for night operation, with additional forward-facing LED flood lights and spreader lights illuminating the bow and working areas. An ACR RL-100 spotlight control and ACR remote LED spot light (installed 2017) provide powerful targeting capability for night fishing. A Flir night vision camera adds thermal imaging capability for low-light navigation and fishing. Lumishore STV 2201 underwater light control and Lumishore EOS underwater lights attract baitfish and enhance the visual environment during evening operations. The helm seats are designed for extended steering duty, with comfortable positioning and visibility over the windscreen. The station is protected by a hardtop with hatch access and navigation lights mounted for regulatory compliance. The Fusion UD650 stereo system with JL Audio speakers provides entertainment at the helm. A bow thruster control adds precision maneuvering in tight quarters, particularly valuable when docking in challenging conditions or positioning for fishing marks.
Fishing Features and Cockpit Design
The cockpit is purpose-built for offshore sportfishing, with a layout that supports both live-bait trolling and bottom fishing operations. A live fish well maintains baitfish in oxygenated, temperature-controlled seawater, essential for extended fishing days. Trolling valves provide the operator with control over water flow and bait presentation. Rod storage includes six rod holders positioned around the cockpit perimeter, with a six-rod rocket launcher mounted on the aft bridge rail for quick access to rigged tackle. Rupp 38-foot outriggers extend the trolling spread, allowing the presentation of multiple lures at varying distances from the vessel's wake, a critical technique for offshore species such as marlin, tuna, and wahoo. Two large in-deck fish boxes provide insulated storage for the day's catch, while a dedicated fish box with macerator system handles waste processing. A cockpit sink with fresh and saltwater capability supports cleaning and fish processing. The transom door provides access to the swim platform, and a cockpit freezer offers additional storage for processed fish or provisions. The three-sided Strataglass aft enclosure, installed as an EZ2CY system, protects the cockpit from weather while maintaining visibility and ventilation. This upgrade extends the fishing season by allowing operation in light rain and spray conditions that would otherwise force retreat to the salon.
Electrical and Power Systems
The electrical infrastructure supports the demands of modern marine electronics, comfort systems, and extended offshore operation. Eight batteries provide starting and house power, with a parallel switch allowing flexible configuration. An automatic battery charger maintains charge when dockside, while the 12-volt and 24-volt DC electrical systems power lighting, pumps, and control systems. The 110-volt and 220-volt AC electrical system supports galley appliances, air conditioning, and entertainment systems. The Onan 17-kilowatt generator with 2,152 running hours provides independent electrical generation, allowing the air conditioning, galley, and comfort systems to operate while anchored or underway without relying on shore power or engine alternators. Dockside cables and a Glendinning Cablemaster system simplify connection to shore power infrastructure. The Series 60 Detroit Diesel engines, the workhorses of this convertible, operate with notably low hours at 1,250. These engines have proven reliability in the commercial and marine sectors, with established service networks and parts availability. A 1,000-hour service was completed in 2025, including new turbos and engine couplers, indicating recent major maintenance. Krypto Quiet Strut bearings, installed in 2025, reduce vibration and noise transmission to the hull structure. Prop Recon was completed in 2026, and the freshwater and saltwater pump systems were renewed in 2025, demonstrating a comprehensive approach to propulsion system maintenance.
Deck and Navigation Systems
The deck layout supports safe movement and operational functionality. A bow pulpit with rails provides secure footing forward, while an anchor with 250 feet of line and a Lewmar electric windlass simplify ground tackle deployment and retrieval. Navigation lights meet regulatory requirements for safe operation in low-visibility conditions.
