Worth knowing
OGEM B.V.; cover, cost and conditions
OGEM B.V. is the builder behind the Searocco yachts, registered as M. Poluk OGEM Searocco B.V. in Ubbergen near Nijmegen in the Netherlands. The boats were built in steel to a design by the Dutch naval architects Vripack. The Searocco 1500 was conceived as a seagoing motor yacht for long voyages and carries CE category A, the rating for open ocean. She brings together the Dutch tradition of the steel yacht with the ambition to go beyond canals and rivers to the coast and further. Two things define her, then: steel as the material and a design meant for open water.
Our model records hold one design: the Searocco 1500, a motor yacht of 14.97 metres listed with build years from 1999 to 2007. The number in the name matches the length in centimetres, rounded. Beam is 4.94 metres and draft 1.30 metres. Below deck there are two generous double cabins, each with its own bathroom. Boats offered for sale show a fit-out for living aboard over long periods, with bow and stern thrusters, stabilisers, generator, double glazing and central heating.
Steel is forgiving and strong, but it asks for steady attention. On a Searocco 1500 a buyer should have the hull thickness measured by ultrasound, look closely at the bilges and under fixed tanks where water can sit, and check the condition of the anodes and the paint system below the waterline. Rust streaks on deck fittings and around windows are worth tracing to their source. The stabilisers, thrusters and generator add comfort and complexity in equal measure, so service records matter. Kept dry inside and well painted outside, a steel yacht of this kind can serve long-distance owners for decades.
