OCEAN ALEXANDER 84R

A step forward for the revolution series

- By Luca D'ambrosio

Ocean Alexander Yachts announce the debut of the new Ocean Alexander 84R at the 2019 Fort Lauderdale Internatio­nal Boat Show.

The Ocean Alexander 84R is the second model of the new Revolution Series of yachts by Ocean Alexander.

It’s a collaborat­ive design between the offices of Evan K. Marshall and Arrabito Naval Architects, both of which are worldrenow­ned for yacht design and naval engineerin­g.

The first model of the series, the 90R, debuted last year to incredible reception at the 2018 Fort Lauderdale Internatio­nal Boat Show.

When asked about the project, Marshall explained, “With the design of the 84R, we decided to develop the features of this boat to transition from the very popular open deck interior plan of the 70e and combined that with the modern interior design features and materials found in the larger 90R.”

He continues to state,

“We made a conscious decision to cater to buyers who are looking for a yacht that offers a relaxed family-oriented layout

with the main deck living areas spread out across the entire deck. 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, as with the 90R, 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 several areas.” As is the hallmark of all Ocean Alexander yachts, the 84R will also highlight exceptiona­l furniture detailing, combining a mix of materials including satin and highgloss wood veneers, high-gloss lacquer finishes and Cambria stone flooring and counter surfaces. The Ocean Alexander 84R, as with its predecesso­r offers a spectacula­r full beam sky lounge which is one of the largest in its class. Aft of the sky lounge is a generous aft deck which can feature a hot tub and sunbathing area combined with loose furniture for relaxing and dining. The aft deck also features a full buffet with BBQ grill and wet bar.

For those buyers who still prefer to have an open flybridge arrangemen­t this is also available and takes full advantage of this enormous deck, offering the same features as the enclosed sky lounge, creating a spectacula­r alfresco space with the same features.

The exterior of the 84R shares several of the Revolution series design feature, particular­ly the vertical bow.

In addition to creating a modern cuttingedg­e look, combined with a performanc­e enhancing piercer bulb, this feature, as with the 90R has allowed us to increase the volume of the lower deck accommodat­ions.

This is particular­ly visible in the VIP stateroom which includes a full walk-around queen bed, small sitting area and vanity desk combined with a walk-in wardrobe and large en suite bathroom.
