Worth Avenue Yachts is proud to represent Offshore Yachts as a leader in the sales of offshore yachts. With nine recent Offshore yachts sold, including Honore, Sierra Fox, Veronica K, Tango Nuevo, Sierra Fox, One Last Time, Our Girl, Coda, Happy Heart and more, we know that these boats are truly something special.
Offshore Yachts have a rich history dating back to World War II when the US Navy was looking for alternative construction materials due to steel shortages. Founder Richard O. Hunt pioneered the use of laminated fiberglass in the construction of auxiliary navy boats and went on to build the first laminated fiberglass pleasure cruisers in 1948. Ten years later, his sons joined him in the business, and Offshore Yachts was born.
One of the keys to Offshore’s success has been its commitment to safety, comfort, convenience, and performance. In the 1960s, the company sought out legendary naval architect William Crealock, one of the world’s leading authorities on performance cruising boats, to help achieve these goals. Crealock’s “deep fore foot” designs led to Offshore’s very successful high-speed Marauder series, which were built from the 1960s into the 70s. His designs are masterful realizations of the yachter’s abstract needs in physical form. In 1983, Crealock extended the deep-fore-foot design to the first Offshore 48, a boat that is the direct progenitor of the current line of cruisers, now reaching 92 feet. Today, designs are created by Doug Sharp, who continues the form, function, and style begun by Crealock.
One of the signature elements of Offshore design is the deep forefoot, which allows for a sharp entry that cuts cleanly through rough seas, offering a smooth, controlled ride and virtually eliminating slap and pounding. Offshore owners frequently report feeling confident in proceeding when other craft are turning back to the docks. In addition, the immense core strength structure of Offshores, combined with the finely detailed, sensual elegance of the interior/exterior, provides an uncommon feeling of luxurious safety. A generous beam offers liberal space for comfortable accommodation.
Offshore hulls derive their amazing strength from being molded as a single integral unit. The construction molds are equally admired for their aesthetic features, including built-in facet lines, insets (vs. cutouts), and their clarity and flaw-free smoothness of surface. This attention to detail is often skipped by other manufacturers.
Today Offshore has evolved from a long history of refinement, materials development, and customer inputs and experiences. As of the newest Offshore 80, now nearing construction completion, the company has built over 300 yachts. Offshores are almost always semi-custom crafts, perfectly tailored to the owner’s requirements, and so the company’s half-century plus of know-how is critical in making them successful creations.
Because of their quality and high reputation, Offshores have tremendous liquidity. As an owner, you have a built-in exit strategy and a lower overall ownership investment. In one recent quarterly survey of brokerage sales, thirteen yachts ranging in size from 48’ to 66’ were sold, as opposed to three yachts from our top three competitive brands. This says just about all you need to know.
If you’re considering purchasing a yacht, we urge you to ask Offshore owners, shipyard owners, captains, professional yacht brokers, surveyors and yacht club members this simple question, “What do you think of Offshore yachts?” The answers will surely be overwhelmingly positive, and if not, we want to hear about it. At Worth Avenue Yachts, we’re proud to represent Offshore Yachts and their commitment to excellence.
