The latest model in the Ocean Alexander Revolution series, the ground-breaking 26R has arrived at Australian shores.
The 26R was unveiled to great acclaim at the 2019 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show in October. The Ocean Alexander 26R is a spacious, family-friendly motor yacht from designer, Evan K. Marshall.
Featuring sleek lines and chiselled moulding details, the new 26R bridges the gap between the successful 70E and the larger 90R motoryachts.
At a length of 25.45-metres, the 26R is available in enclosed skylounge and open flybridge layouts. The enclosed model comprises a spacious all-weather skylounge, whereas the open version features the helm station protected via a glass windscreen which is however open down each side, then flowing to a spacious seating area and large bar.
With a beam of 6.29-metres, the vertical bow of the 26R adds significant volume to the forward VIP cabin permitting a walk-around island bed and walk-in robe for guests lucky enough to be staying in this spacious haven.
Other notable design features include her supersize saloon windows, and numerous seating areas for entertaining and relaxing. The skylounge has an exterior alfresco lounging area, barbecue grill and jacuzzi. There is also a generously sized seating area, and sunpads, on the foredeck over which a removable shade system can be installed.
Inside the 26R, finely crafted exotic wood panelling conceal her copious storage spaces. An open galley is adjacent to the separate formal dining area. Below decks, there is spacious VIP forward cabin featuring an island walk-around queen bed, a full-beam master stateroom mid-ships with his and hers ensuite's and his and hers walk in robe's, and two twin rooms, each with ensuite.
Ocean Alexander President, Johnny Chueh said "The 26R is designed to cater to buyers who are looking for a yacht that offers a relaxed family-oriented layout. This approach has created a spectacular feeling of space allowing areas to be distinct yet merging together which has created an expansive open feeling interior".
"This is combined with an abundance of floor to ceiling windows and glass throughout so that in the daytime, the main deck will be bathed in sunlight with spectacular views out to the sea from every area."
According to Alexander Marine Australia Dealer Principal, Todd Holzapfel, the new Ocean Alexander 26R is unlike anything available in Australia and New Zealand and will strike a chord with cruising families in both markets.
"The 26R R represents a significant break with 'tradition' compared to the previous Ocean Alexander 85. This yacht is designed to meet the modern requirements of family boating lifestyles, whether that's entertaining, enjoying the views, watching a movie, fishing, swimming or long-range cruising."
