Manufacturer Provided Description
It's a temple for sun worshippers. A swift, unshakable guardian in weather. A quiet, opulent cruiser with an enormous wealth of standards - and beyond, plenty of intriguing, no-charge options. It's the Ocean Alexander heritage, safety and craftsmanship you must have; combined with the wide-beam freedom and nimble speed you want.
When we tank-tested the new hull at Sea State V, it proved its mettle. And when the designer began dreaming up its innovative interiors, Ocean Alexander pulled out all the stops, from exotic wood cabinetry to the gleaming stainless of its exacting engine room.
