Ocean Alexander is known for well conceived vessels with there performance and accommodations. This nice example has just finished the Great Loop Trip, Bahamas and Cartagena (with two prior owners). She has been updated nicely and is ready to go back around, Bahamas or just a great condo on the water. Her current owner purchased her in May, 2025 as a life long dream and quickly discovered boating was not what he thought and has moved out of the area. She is priced for a very quick sale. She however is not in our immediate area so a scheduled showing is necessary.
At 7-8 knots she burns approx. 5 gph.
She made a 10 hour trip October 8th from Charleston, SC to North Myrtle Beach. 1500 rpm at 10 knots and 10 gph.
