Ocean 62 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for an Ocean 62 means considering a 62-foot Southern Ocean Shipyard cruiser built from 1980 to 1987 as the more private, opulent step beyond the Ocean 60 charter hull. These are heavy-displacement boats with lead ballast and a hydraulic centreboard option, intended for long-term liveaboard voyaging rather than coastal day use.
Layouts on the Used Market
Charter four-cabin arrangements are the more common version available used, though both private and ex-charter layouts turn up, and ex-charter examples are common. The standard configuration sleeps up to eight with good privacy, a deep protective cockpit, and a U-shaped galley that suits a cook in motion. Buyers should expect teak decks on most original boats and large engine rooms, with centreboard-equipped hulls offering the shoal-draft flexibility.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Used Ocean 62s commonly carry serious cruising kit. Power and energy systems frequently include a watermaker, heating, solar, an inverter, and a bow thruster, meaning a buyer can expect self-sufficiency without immediate overhaul. Sail-handling and comfort upgrades often seen are electric winches, a bimini, dinghy davits, and a cockpit shower, while navigation is typically covered by radar, AIS, autopilot, chartplotter, EPIRB, and life raft. That equipment list argues for a boat already wired and plumbed for extended passage life.
What to Inspect
The original fuel tanks are a weak point: even though engine rooms are generally large, the condition of those tanks for internal corrosion should be checked carefully. On centreboard models, the hydraulic system behind the 6'7"–9'10" draft range deserves close survey attention, as its function is central to the boat's shallow-harbour capability.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
The Italian market is the typical region where these boats appear. For a shopper, the short checklist is: confirm the fuel-tank condition, verify the centreboard hydraulics if fitted, and decide between a common ex-charter four-cabin layout and a rarer private layout. With those cleared, the Ocean 62 is a well-founded liveaboard cruiser.
