The Discovery 48 OC is the newest and largest model within the Discovery line of Super Lauwersmeer. With this new design, the yard responded to the demand for a spacious, comfortable and safe yacht, suitable both for long voyages and for relaxed days on the water. Designer Arnold de Ruyter and yard director Louis Jousma translated the wishes of the first owners into a 14.90-metre yacht with a well-thought-out layout and premium finish.

"Exceptionally cosy interior"

Marienfeld describes the Discovery 48 OC as “a steel displacement yacht of absolute top class, from every perspective.” He particularly praises the generous living space, the smart layout and the homely atmosphere on board: “The large windows and the electric sliding roof create a light-flooded salon, while the indirect lighting in the evening creates an exceptionally cosy interior.”

"Fantastic performance"

The technical side also impresses. The engine room is described as “a hobby cellar for technology enthusiasts”, and the yacht’s performance is praised as well: “Whether you cruise stylishly at low revs or push for almost nine knots at full throttle – the Discovery 48 OC always remains stable like a board in the water and puts a smile on the face of the entire crew.”

Quality and comfort

In addition to her handling, the finishing stands out: rounded furniture edges, high-quality materials, luxury bathroom with wellness shower and a king-size bed in the owner’s cabin. Minor points of criticism – such as the sporty wheel that requires many turns – fade completely compared to the overall impression of quality and comfort.

Conclusion

His conclusion is crystal clear: the Discovery 48 OC convincingly sets itself apart from the competition and represents a new highlight in the proud tradition of Super Lauwersmeer.
