Step on board the first two hulls of the all-new Ocean Alexander 35R

The Ocean Alexander 35R utilises smart layouts, forward-thinking design and interesting materials. Kevin Koenig steps aboard two of the builder’s most recent deliveries

A yacht christening can be a heady experience, especially when the champagne is flowing and the photographers’ bulbs are popping – bright-white halos in the hot, black night. Such was the scene at the Fort Lauderdale Pier Sixty-Six last fall for the official launch of Ziggy , hull number one of Ocean Alexander’s new 35R series. The owners stood proudly at the top of the high, plumb bow and, with a few sweet words, let a bottle of bubbly on a rope swing freely to break itself upon the yacht’s forward section. It was a memorable sight, save for just one small problem. The bottle, built like a tank, refused to break – because this isn’t the movies, and things don’t always work out perfectly. The sale of the first two 35Rs, though, makes a pretty good run at flawlessness. Hull number two, built on spec, arrived in Fort Lauderdale for the boat show, where she was snapped up by a client who named her Entrepreneur .

Ziggy ’s story began at the 2019 Cannes Yachting Festival, where Marine Max’s broker Scott Roberton met her future owners, Bonnie and Harold Zeigler. “They knew they were looking for something new,”  he says, “and as much as they liked the (previously introduced) 90R, they wanted something a bit larger. I told them we were working on something bigger, and when we got back to the States, I could show them some ideas. So, in October, we met at the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show, and that’s where we introduced the project to them in animation form. And it went really well, to say the least.”

“They really took the plunge,” Evan K Marshall , the yacht’s London-based designer, says. “When I met them for the first time, all we had was just a rendering as the boat was in development. First, they saw the 2D line drawing, and they liked it. So we broke out models, renderings and animation. We had fly-around CGI, an outside-to-inside thing set in the Bahamas, and they loved it. They left with Scott, came back the next day and signed a contract. And that’s how Ziggy got off the ground and became their boat.”

Harold Zeigler had been keeping an eye on Ocean Alexander for some time. “We were coming out of a 85 Westport, and I started looking at OA a while back and saw them constantly improving, and we eventually chartered one with some friends,” he says. “We were thinking about getting another Westport, but then we saw the designs of the 35R and fell in love. We had looked at some other builders, but the video OA put together for us is what really sold us. It was hull No 1, so without that video it would have been hard to know what we were getting.”

Zeigler and his wife are experienced cruisers who knew what they wanted from their boat. They prefer cruising the US East Coast, from the Bahamas up to Maine. And with this experience came some build preferences that Ocean Alexander was happy to accommodate, one of which had to do directly with the chilly climes in the dark gray waters off the Pine Tree State – the design of the beach club.

For some time, the Taiwanese builder had been looking for ways to expand that feature everyone seems to want nowadays: an interior lounge at water level. OA’s 90R already had a beach club, with glass doors that open onto a fixed platform and keep the inside space bright when they’re closed. The Zeiglers liked that idea. “One of their first requests was sliding-glass doors like the 90R has (the animation had a fold-down transom door); they liked the idea of the glass doors because they cruise up north where it’s colder, but they could still have light come in,” Marshall says.

Ocean Alexander had planned instead a transom door in solid fiberglass that lowers hydraulically to form a larger swim platform and reveal a neat beach club with seating and a bar tucked inside the lower deck. This solution was what they adopted for the second 35R, Entrepreneur . Seeing the two yachts side by side offers an interesting perspective on two different solutions.

The designer and the shipyard devised a clever way to keep light inside the beach club even when the solid composite door is closed – an impressive, curved skylight installed as a nice feature in the aft deck lounge just above. So that when guests sit on the sofas on the aft deck, they can also have a view down to the beach club; an excellent way to visually link the two spaces, which are otherwise connected with two sets of stairs.

Ocean Alexander also included a good-sized sauna on both hulls, accessible from the beach club, plus space for a small gym. Future hulls will enjoy even more space. OA has done more engineering and found a way to move the engine exhaust trunk forward to allow the beach club to gain an extra 18 inches of beam, or just enough space for a second bike.

The treatment of the beach club is just one of many customisations on board Ziggy . It does not take long to see her interior is entirely different from that of Entrepreneur , from the colours (easy to do) to the layout (more challenging). One of the striking design details in Ziggy ’s interior is a wave pattern cut by a CNC machine from a composite material.  It decorates a centrally located sideboard that sets the dining room apart from the saloon and then repeats like a fractal on door inserts, furniture and panelling throughout the yacht.

“I included it in the renderings we made, and the owners saw it and loved it, so we decided to do it for them,” Marshall says, although the yard decided not to repeat this design for the entire line.

On Entrepreneur , the sideboard, with a wet bar, is to the side, and the layout creates one flowing area from saloon to dining space, which is off to the port side, in front of floor-to-ceiling windows. In addition, it leaves room for a lovely staircase that loops its way to the other decks and a wide passage to the owner’s suite. It’s a layout that Marshall and OA rightly see as having a more European vibe – and it’s not the only one.

The yachts’ respective galleys also draw a sharp contrast between what could be described as American and European boating styles. Ziggy has neat, little pocket doors leading from the saloon to the country kitchen, which has a breakfast dinette to port so that guests can interact with the chef.

However, OA wanted to show something different with the newer hull. Entrepreneur ’s galley reflects the European aim of the saloon, and is separated from it by an efficient, single door. Although well-appointed with full-size refrigerators and freezers and a generous counter for food prep, it has no dinette. Instead, there is another door leading to the side deck where the crew can discreetly enter and leave.

Regardless of the layout, Marshall is particularly excited about the residential feel aboard the OA35R, which he attributes to its huge windows. In the salon alone, a 10ft-long piece runs from floor to ceiling.

Marshall sought to emphasise the open and homey feel with the furnishings. “We didn’t use traditional boat furniture. The look is akin to what you’d find in a household, and that’s a quality you often get on much larger projects,” he says. “Yacht furniture [in this class] is starting to be on a par with house furniture in that it’s more freestanding. We’re also using a combination of materials. For example, the tops of the furniture might be stone, but that stone goes down the sides in several pieces to create what we call a waterfall effect.”

Marshall also points to the use of Alpi, a stained wood product that mimics whatever species is called for, from ebony to eucalyptus. “Alpi is becoming like Cambria,” he says of the composite stone that is popular on yachts in this class. “Maybe 10 years ago, people would have turned their noses up at it, but now it’s everywhere. People think it’s for cost, but it’s not. It’s for the consistency, which is excellent.”

Another exciting use of glass is found in the spacious walk-in closets in the owner’s stateroom. Though a more ornamental usage of the material, it is key to this model’s focus on luxury. Namely, the closets have jewelry and watch cases, much like a jewelry store would, so that the antique Patek, or that little trinket you found under the Christmas tree in the Van Cleef & Arpels bag, don’t waste their shine in some dark drawer.

“Some production builders might build you a shoe rack,” Marshall  says with a chuckle, “but I don’t think you’re going to see something like this in too many places.”

Another exceptional space here is the owner’s bathroom, large and full of light, thanks to another big skylight above the tub. Two seats can take advantage of stunning views in the bedroom itself, and a desk can be positioned on the other side, looking out for inspiration.

On Ziggy , it’s worth noting one last glass-oriented feature – the impressive wine glass storage. “These owners have 100 wine glasses on their 35,” Marshall says. “They wanted them on all the levels of the boat, so they didn’t have to move them. We were able to accommodate the request by making safe and discreet storage for all of them on every deck.”

The Zeiglers like to entertain, and they find the 35R more than up to the task. “We have had cocktail parties with 25 people on board, and the night we had the christening, we had about 60 people on the boat, and we thought she handled it exceptionally well,” Zeigler says. (I was there, and the 35R could have fitted another 20 people on board, in my estimation.)

A big reason for the boat’s space is her full-bodied design. Of course, the R in the model’s name stands for Revolution, and it’s OA’s nod to the recent motor yacht trend of building boats with big volume, starting from the bow. The gross tonnage on this 35 metre yacht is just below 300GT.

“The wide body allowed us to put a spacious master [suite] on the main deck, and helped with overall interior space as well,” says Brian Ku, Ocean Alexander’s engineering department manager. A wider bow with no or little flare can mean a wet ride, but Ku had the antidote. “We gave this boat a wave-piercing design that breaks water before it hits the hull, so there is very little splash when under way,” he says. The quasi-vertical bow design and quickly increasing beam make room for a generous forward lounge. And the sundeck is another large outdoor recreation space, which can be set up in any number of ways, with or without a spa pool.

The style, volume and luxury of this new OA make for happy owners. For the owners of Entrepreneur , the happiness came from buying a turnkey yacht. As for the Zeiglers, who were so involved, they enjoyed the build. “I’m sure we will stick with OA for our next boat,” Harold says. “From a service standpoint they’ve been incredibly solid the whole way.”

Even with the distance and significant time difference from the US, to say nothing of Covid-19-related disruption, the build process went smoothly. “Ocean Alexander was amazing to work with when it came to answering questions thoroughly and within 24 hours. Whether it was modifications to the galley or the closets, the turnaround time was unbelievable,” Roberton says. “I think the engineering and technical side of OA is further ahead of other manufacturers. This boat took a few years to build, and we’d get pictures every few weeks – you’re not going to find that at many places.”

And for Marshall, the 35R is a particularly sweet accomplishment. “I’ve had this dream that I’ve been envisioning for a long time,” he says. “When I first came on with OA some years ago, I was just kind of tweaking existing models, but the 35R [along with the 37L] is a brand-new design. This evolution is what we were brought on board to deliver. And it’s not a finger snap, you can’t do this kind of thing overnight, but we’ve now done it, and I think we’ve helped establish OA as a major player in the industry. And it’s just nice to see that dream come true.”

And isn’t that something worth raising a glass to?

Inside Look: Ocean Alexander 90R

• By Kim Kavin
• September 2, 2022

It wasn’t even a stormy day, or an unusual day of any kind, when the couple pulled in their nearly 40-foot powerboat for refueling. They’d done the drill before, having cruised around Puget Sound, Washington, and other parts of the Pacific Northwest with their three kids. But on this day, the wife had made an unfortunate footwear choice. She slipped out of her sandals while stepping ashore. “Her leg went up onto the dock and got caught under a cleat,” the husband says. “She ended up hanging in the water, with her head 2 feet underwater, and her leg was caught in the cleat. She figured, this is how it ends. She was pinned in between the dock and the boat, and I didn’t see her.”

A good Samaritan ran over to alert the husband and help free the wife, whose ankle ended up breaking in the process. “She ended up making it out, but she was understandably hesitant about boating after that,” he says. “We thought maybe if we had a bigger boat, maybe something with thrusters for more safety, wider walkways, higher railings…”

In September 2020, during Labor Day weekend, they saw an Ocean Alexander 90R at Roche Harbor on San Juan Island. It was just two years after the model had made its debut at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show in Florida, ­launching a whole new Revolution series for the builder.

In regard to size, the 90R was quite a jump from the couple’s previous boat, but, boy, did it look safe—and stunning.

“It was beautiful, new, modern, felt like floor-to-ceiling glass everywhere,” the husband says. “The main-level master was fantastic. The kitchen was just outstanding. When we saw that, we decided to get one.”

They bought Hull No. 1 on the brokerage market and had it shipped from Florida to their home waters in the Pacific Northwest, where they rechristened it Voyager . The name is an homage to the husband’s years growing up in Orlando, getting to sit in the Kennedy Space Center grandstands with astronauts’ families because his uncle worked on the launchpad. It’s also a nod to the couple’s older son, who is studying microbiology and astrobiology. “If he had his way, he’d be on the first manned mission to Mars,” the husband says. “ Voyager was the first that ever went outside of our solar system, so that name fit for our family.” They even worked with a graphic designer to create a mission patch and logo for the yacht, focused on the idea of exploring new frontiers.

And explore they have, all the way up through Desolation Sound, British Columbia. Most of the time, the couple runs the boat in and around Puget Sound. They often welcome guests aboard for work outings, charitable events and other causes. They’ve offered Voyager’s use as part of a fundraiser for the Washington Autism Alliance and in a fundraiser to benefit a Seattle zoo. Political events have also happened on board, including fundraisers for members of Congress.

“We’re going to be in the boat parade here soon with the University of Washington cheer team and band director on board, with the band following on a boat behind us,” the husband says. “It’s a big recruiting event.”

They both continue to love ­boating—including the tasks of running the boat themselves. That’s how cruising has always felt best to them, including all the years with the smaller boat, when they’d pile in all three kids and head out for some whale watching or a weekend getaway in the islands. Everyone would sleep on the V-berth forward and the convertible lounge aft.

The Ocean Alexander 90R obviously has more substantial accommodations for eight to 10 guests—including the main-deck master stateroom that the couple loved from the start and an open-plan sky lounge with a bar where everyone can spread out and relax. Even still, for this couple, the desire to have some do-it-yourself fun on the water remains the same. They recently hired a yacht manager for the 90R who serves as a jack-of-all-trades, pitching in with whatever is needed, but on most days when cruising in the Pacific Northwest, the husband is at the helm, and the wife is handling lines.

“We try to dispel the idea that we’re snobby yachting types,” he says with a laugh. “Whether it’s us or friends and family on board, it’s usually just us.”

And in an effort to be sure there will never be another mishap, they have outfitted Voyager with the latest and greatest of everything from Wi-Fi to helm electronics. “I made sure that all our equipment and upgrades are up-to-date,” he says. “Things like night vision—we have all of that.” 

The Revolution Series

Ocean Alexander’s Revolution series of yachts is now offered in three models: the 89-foot 27R, 97-foot 30R and 117-foot 35R. The flagship model, with a gross tonnage of 299, made its debut at the 2021 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. The builder worked with designer Evan K. Marshall and Arrabito Naval Architects to evolve the models, which have extensive glazing for wide-scale views from the inside out. 

45 Years of Boatbuilding

Ocean Alexander got its start in 1977. The company’s first build was the Mark 1, a 50-foot pilothouse trawler that liveaboard cruisers coveted for not only its onboard space but also its seaworthy hull, which was based on an Ed Monk design. Additional milestones have included construction of the 71-foot Night Hawk , which set a size record for Asian boatbuilding in 1984, and completion of the first 100-foot-long Ocean Alexander in 2005.

Built to Battle in Blue Water

Ocean Alexander incorporates numerous techniques and materials to engineer sturdy yachts. Finite element analysis is used for modeling in a virtual space before construction begins. I-beams made of aircraft-grade aluminum are incorporated because they’re 10 times stiffer than wood or fiberglass, according to the builder. Unidirectional carbon fiber is used to reinforce critical areas, and fuel tanks are built with military-grade aluminum alloy.

The Dali was just starting a 27-day voyage.

The ship had spent two days in Baltimore’s port before setting off.

By Claire Moses and Jenny Gross

• Published March 26, 2024 Updated March 27, 2024

The Dali was less than 30 minutes into its planned 27-day journey when the ship ran into the Francis Scott Key Bridge on Tuesday.

The ship, which was sailing under the Singaporean flag, was on its way to Sri Lanka and was supposed to arrive there on April 22, according to VesselFinder, a ship tracking website.

The Dali, which is nearly 1,000 feet long, left the Baltimore port around 1 a.m. Eastern on Tuesday. The ship had two pilots onboard, according to a statement by its owners, Grace Ocean Investment. There were 22 crew members on board, the Maritime & Port Authority of Singapore said in a statement. There were no reports of any injuries, Grace Ocean said.

Before heading off on its voyage, the Dali had returned to the United States from Panama on March 19, harboring in New York. It then arrived on Saturday in Baltimore, where it spent two days in the port.

Maersk, the shipping giant, said in a statement on Tuesday that it had chartered the vessel, which was carrying Maersk cargo. No Maersk crew and personnel were onboard, the statement said, adding that the company was monitoring the investigations being carried out by the authorities and by Synergy Group, the company that was operating the vessel.

“We are horrified by what has happened in Baltimore, and our thoughts are with all of those affected,” the Maersk statement said.

The Dali was built in 2015 by the South Korea-based Hyundai Heavy Industries. The following year, the ship was involved in a minor incident when it hit a stone wall at the port of Antwerp . The Dali sustained damage at the time, but no one was injured.
