The flagship of the Discovery OC series. With her generous space, open character and strong connection with the water, the Discovery 48 OC is made for long days and distant voyages on board. From BeachDeck to owner's cabin: everywhere you experience the space to cruise, to live and above all to enjoy.
Experience
the excellence
The clean lines, the distinctive curved roof and the straight bow give the Discovery OC her recognisable character. A yacht that stands out without having to ask for it. With colours and materials to your personal taste, you give this powerful appearance an entirely personal signature.
Inside or outside? Aboard the Discovery 48 OC that boundary almost naturally fades. From the saloon you look out over the water all around, and with the four doors open, galley and cockpit merge into one generous living space. The large roof hatch even brings the sky inside.
As the flagship of the Discovery series, the 48 OC offers all the space to get it exactly right. In materials, finish and technology, but above all in what matters to you on board. Share your wishes with us and give this Discovery your own character.

Every Discovery 48 OC begins with your story. In our boutique at the shipyard, we listen to how you wish to cruise, live and enjoy life on board and guide you through choices in layout, materials, colours, technology and details — even when that calls for a solution that has never been devised before. With over five decades of experience, we add our knowledge and ideas. Thus the flagship of the Discovery OC series receives a personal signature as distinctive as the yacht herself.
From the jetty you step directly into a generous open cockpit — the social hub of the yacht. With thick cushions, a well-conceived layout and the water within arm's reach, this is where everyday life on board takes shape.
The generous BeachDeck brings life on board literally to the waterline. Swim, relax in the sun or step aboard from the water — everything flows naturally from this generous platform at the stern.
Underwater scooter, jetboard, folding bicycles or electric scooters: the garage beneath the cockpit accommodates what you wish to take along. A clever hatch provides easy access, without the toys taking up living space.
The garage hatch transforms into a bench at the very rear of the yacht. An intimate spot at water level, perfect for enjoying the sunset or a quiet moment on the water.
Four opening doors connect the saloon directly with the cockpit. Large glazed panels let water and light in from every side. With the doors open, the entire ground floor becomes one flowing living space.
Tell us how you like to cook and we will match position, layout and equipment to your style. From a compact arrangement to a fully equipped culinary workspace — on the 48 OC, nothing is impossible.
Modern navigation and control technology is combined at the helm station. Two large Raymarine touchscreens provide all the information needed for safe passage, from engine data and fuel consumption to navigation and route planning.
At the bow, the generous owner's cabin awaits. The full hull shape creates exceptional width and a freestanding double bed. Ample wardrobe space, natural light through multiple skylights and a direct connection to the private bathroom make this cabin a true retreat.
The guest cabin too benefits from the generous dimensions. Two full-size single beds stand side by side, whilst ample walking and wardrobe space is maintained. So guests do not merely travel along, but can genuinely feel at home.
Shower and toilet together or prefer each in their own space? You choose what suits your stay on board. In both cases, the generous sanitary fittings and high-quality finish provide a comfortable wellness experience.
Travelling with (young) children? Their cabin can be configured as a gameroom if desired, complete with built-in game console and television. So even the youngest generation gets their own space to feel completely at home under way.
