In 1977 Jack Leek launched Ocean Yachts with the company's first boat - a 40' sportfisherman, Jack was not the first Leek to build boats in New Jersey. In fact, Leeks have been building and launching them in the historic Mullica River since 1721.
Ocean's heritage reaches as far back as the original American colonies. Leek-manufactured vessels helped develop our coastal and river trade, create a rich fishing industry, battle pirates and privateers, intercept rum runners during Prohibition and German U-boats in World War II. We can justly say that the Leek family's involvement in the American maritime industry is as old as the industry itself.
Today's Ocean Yachts may have little in common with those early Leek vessels, But they express - in fiberglass instead of wood - the same spirited determination to produce the highest quality yachts in the world.
It is this resolve that has made Ocean Yachts the world's largest producer of quality-built Super Sports, Sport Fish, and Odyssey models in the 40' to 70' class. Our yachts are valued by thousands of owners the world over for their performance, speed, power, luxury, styling and durability. Boats that appeal to serious sportfishermen.
