  THIS CERTIFIES THAT                 is the owner of
                      Units.

   

  Each Unit (“Unit”) consists of one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share
      (“Ordinary Shares”), of Blue Ocean Acquisition Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), and one-half of one redeemable warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Ordinary Share for
      $11.50 per share (subject to adjustment). Each Warrant will become exercisable on the later of (i) 30 days after the Company’s completion of a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or other similar business
      combination with one or more businesses (each, a “Business Combination”), and (ii) 12 months from the closing of the Company’s initial public offering, and will expire unless exercised before 5:00 p.m., New York City Time, on the date that is five
      years after the date on which the Company completes its initial Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation (the “Expiration Date”). The Ordinary Shares and Warrants comprising the Units represented by this certificate are not
      transferable separately prior to           , 2021, unless Needham & Company, LLC elects to allow earlier separate trading, subject to the Company’s filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission of a Current Report on Form 8-K containing an
      audited balance sheet reflecting the Company’s receipt of the gross proceeds of the initial public offering and issuing a press release announcing when separate trading will begin. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units
      and only whole warrants are exercisable. The terms of the Warrants are governed by a Warrant Agreement, dated as of           , 2021, between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as Warrant Agent, and are subject to the
      terms and provisions contained therein, all of which terms and provisions the holder of this certificate consents to by acceptance hereof. Copies of the Warrant Agreement are on file at the office of the Warrant Agent at 1 State Street, 30th Floor,
      New York, New York 10004, and are available to any Warrant holder on written request and without cost.

   

  Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, the Units represented by this certificate
      will automatically separate into the Class A Ordinary Shares and Warrants comprising such Units.

   

  This certificate is not valid unless countersigned by the Transfer Agent and Registrar of
      the Company.

   

  This certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of
      the State of New York.
