Ocean Alexander: A Community of Yachtsmen

Luxury Yachts: Ocean Alexander may be the most communal company in the yachting industry. The company's sponsored Rendezvous gatherings are yearly events attended by owners from around the world. It is a forum where owners of OA yachts gather to discuss their boating experiences. The 2006 Rendezvous runs from June 1 to June 4 and is being held at the Roche Harbor Resort located in San Juan Island, Washington. This is the sixth year anniversary of OAs' Rendezvous.

Ocean Alexander has offices in Seattle, Washington, Shanghai, China, and Kahosiung, Taiwan, and dealers in Australia, Canada, China, Germany, Japan, Norway, and the USA. OA has 16 models of yachts available. The vessels have been reviewed by such renowned publications as Power and Motoryacht, Go Boating, Sea and Yachting magazines, respectively.

The new 98 Motoryacht's debut at the 2006 Miami International Boat Show was a rousing success. The craft's overall length is 101 feet with a beam of 22 feet. Its fuel capacity is 4,000 gallons and the ship's dry weight is 224,000 pounds. There are three engine options with the most powerful being two 1,800 horsepower MTU, 12 volt 2000. Optional equipment includes an enclosed flying bridge; a Carlisle & Finch spotlight; an NVTi NightNav thermal-imaging system; a GE chest-type freezer in engine room; an Olympic Hot Tub Company hot tub; two Switlik 10-man life rafts; an electronics package; and an 18' Novurania dinghy with a Yamaha outboard. The base price is approximately $6 million, and with options, the price tag borders $7 million.

Ocean Alexander is hopeful to see you at its next Rendezvous!
