The Discovery 48 OC is more than just a new addition to the family – it is the result of an intensive co-creation process with a client family who wanted to realise their ultimate dream yacht. Their wish? More space, more comfort, more fun – without compromising on style, performance or luxury.

We accepted the challenge and developed a yacht that is 25 cm longer and 19 cm wider than the 47 OC. Measuring 14.60 metres in length and 4.55 metres in width, the 48 OC is the largest Discovery we have ever built.

Fun and comfort in perfect harmony

The increased dimensions offer unprecedented possibilities. The yacht features three fully-fledged cabins: a spacious owner’s cabin in the forepeak and two additional cabins port and starboard – ideal for children or guests. If desired, one of these cabins can be configured as an office or wellness space.

The generous open cockpit features a comfortable L-shaped bench, and at the aft the new BeachDeck stands out: a large swim platform with outdoor shower, parasol, canopy and sound system – it truly feels like your private terrace on the water.

A unique feature is the integrated garage, which offers storage for water toys such as a seabob, jetboard, electric scooters and folding bikes. Charging points and a built-in compressor complete the watersports experience. Even an inflatable swim island has its dedicated spot on board.

Fancy a BBQ on the BeachDeck? We’ve thought of that too. A custom mount accommodates an outdoor grill, and the transom flap doubles as a comfortable seat once opened.

Built around the customer

The Discovery 48 OC was not merely created on the drawing board, but born from close collaboration with a young family. Their requests – from a built-in Playstation to a wine cooler – inspired a yacht that perfectly matches modern life on the water. Think climate comfort with air conditioning and floor heating, a saloon with a large TV (that can rotate towards the cockpit), WiFi throughout, and a high-end galley with modern appliances and additional refrigeration.

“The Discovery 48 OC reflects what we stand for: creating room for dreams,” says Bastiaan Jousma, co-owner of Super Lauwersmeer. “Whether it’s fun, comfort or bespoke solutions – we build the yacht around the owner, not the other way around.”

Visitors of the HISWA te Water are warmly invited to experience this world premiere for themselves. The Discovery 48 OC will be moored from 3–7 September at stand B14 in Lelystad. She will be accompanied by the flagship of our Discovery AC family: the 47 AC.
