New in Market!
"Somewhere In Time" is a beautiful, well maintained and hard to find example of the 78 Ocean Alexander Pilothouse Motor Yacht. Ocean Alexander produced only a limited number of this model, with even fewer ever entering the U.S. market.
She boasts 4 staterooms and 4 heads, plus crew quarters with full head. The exterior decks and interior living spaces are massive for a yacht of this size.
The Portugese deck and enclosed Pilothouse/Skylounge add an additional element of comfort and usability. Other features like Yacht Controller, hydraulic bow/stern thrusters, and hydraulic stabilizers make handling a dream for either a hands on owner operator, or a captain/mate operation. Please read further on to Full Specs for details on all of her upgrades, services, equipment details, accomodations and amenities.
