Amid the gathering of industry insiders and yachting enthusiasts in the sun-soaked ambiance of Miami for the February Miami International Boat Show, one yacht in attendance truly stole the spotlight.
Ocean Alexander’s 32E, measuring 31.2 meters, represents the pinnacle of the yard’s collaboration with longtime designer Evan K Marshall. With four units currently under construction and two nearing delivery, the 32E combines the most successful elements from the existing Ocean Alexander 28E and 30R models while introducing several fresh features to delight owning families.
The true essence of what this yacht offers can be best experienced in person, but for those who couldn’t make it, here’s a breakdown of the standout features aboard the new Ocean Alexander 32E.
Evan K Marshall’s distinctive touch is evident in the yacht’s stylish exterior, a hallmark of his numerous designs for Ocean Alexander. Inside, Marshall has crafted open-plan living spaces that cater to a wide range of activities, from serene relaxation to afternoon tea, movie screenings, fine dining, and evening cocktails. The main deck encompasses a dining area accommodating up to 10 guests, a cozy lounge section, and a high-end galley. The galley, a focal point of the main deck, offers ample space for guests to gather around the central island, fostering intimate cooking sessions.
The exterior decks are equally versatile, especially the aft deck, which provides ample room for storing water toys and more. Adjacent to it, a utility room offers storage for watersports gear, fishing equipment, beachwear, and BBQ essentials, making this yacht exceptionally well-suited for active families who relish adventure, fishing, and casual family cookouts. On the bridge deck, the wet-bar island serves as an ideal spot to conclude the day and stargaze from one of the outdoor lounge areas.
In addition to its impressive power, performance, and efficiency, the Ocean Alexander 32E is perfectly designed for extended journeys. The abundant floor-to-ceiling windows usher in natural light, creating a bright and airy interior. The selection of interior furnishings and finishes includes white oak flooring, luxurious carpets, and upholstery, all of which can be customized to the owner’s preferences.
The generous windows extend to each of the yacht’s five staterooms. On the lower deck, there are two double staterooms and two twin staterooms, each providing a private haven for guests to relax and savor the ever-changing vistas through frameless windows. The owner enjoys the privilege of the main-deck master suite, spanning the yacht’s entire 6.7-meter beam. This suite features seating and desk areas, walk-in wardrobes, and an en-suite bathroom complete with a freestanding Jacuzzi bathtub.
