About Ocean 1
Captain Dean Maggio started Ocean 1 after years of assessing tenders from the helm of megayachts, with the aim of building a boat that met the demands of a professional yacht program. The result is a range that sits between a traditional RIB and a sportfishing-style center console.
Construction uses resin infusion with a sandwich core, aimed at a stiff, light hull. High bulwarks keep spray down, and practical details such as beach-gear stowage and livewells reflect how tenders are really used, from guest runs to fishing and supporting water-sports and dive programs.
Tender types
- RIB tenders
- Center-console tenders
- Chase boats
- Custom tenders
- Patrol boats
Beyond superyacht tenders, Ocean 1 builds center consoles and patrol boats, and offers custom builds for owners with specific requirements.
Models and range
- Rogue SeriesThe core tender line in several lengths, blending a collared hull with a center-console layout.
- Shadow SeriesA second tender line offered in two sizes, giving owners an alternative layout within the range.
- Custom SeriesCustom builds of around 10 to 11 meters, specified to a yacht's garage and program.
Applications for superyachts
For yachts that carry a large tender on deck or tow a chase boat, Ocean 1's larger models provide a fast, dry boat for long runs to shore, fishing and supporting other toys. Owners can coordinate upholstery and finishes with the mother yacht.
As with any outboard tender of this size, weight with engines and fuel should be checked against the crane's rating, and deck or garage dimensions should be confirmed with the tubes inflated as well as deflated.
Why owners choose Ocean 1
Owners and captains choose Ocean 1 for its operational thinking: a boat designed by someone who has launched, driven and maintained tenders on large yachts, with performance and seakeeping suited to open-water runs rather than only calm anchorages.
Available tenders
Tenders are usually specified to order, and pre-owned examples tend to change hands quietly, often together with their mother yacht. Daniel does not hold tender inventory; on request he can approach Ocean 1 or its representatives, and search the pre-owned market, for a tender that suits your yacht.
Work with Daniel Grant
Daniel can introduce owners to Ocean 1, help evaluate whether a center-console-style tender suits the yacht's layout and cruising area, and help source a pre-owned example when one fits. He does not represent the builder. Owners based in South Florida may find his Fort Lauderdale page useful.
A tender is often one part of a larger decision. Daniel can also help you find the right yacht, guide a new build from brief to delivery, or compare the yacht builders behind the mother yacht. To talk it through, contact Daniel directly.
