Ocean Alexander 28E Sold to Experienced Owners

MarineMax broker Scott Roberton has facilitated the sale of a new Ocean Alexander 28E explorer yacht to experienced owners transitioning from a Sanlorenzo SL86. The 28-meter vessel was selected for its operational efficiency and spacious layout featuring four staterooms and dedicated crew quarters.

"The 28E checked every box," stated Roberton. "It delivers true exploring capabilities while maintaining a refined, contemporary aesthetic that rivals any European builder." The owners specifically valued the model's 70-square-meter aft deck and on-deck master suite.

Designed by Evan K. Marshall with a focus on volume and functionality, the 28E will operate seasonally between Newport, Rhode Island and Florida/Bahamas waters. The sale represents the owners' first acquisition from Ocean Alexander's Explorer series.

Dan Mundy, Ocean Alexander's Head of Global Operations, noted: "The 28E exemplifies the innovation, volume, and versatility that define our Explorer series." The model's 90-ton displacement and 2,000-nautical-mile range address growing owner demand for capable coastal cruisers with superyacht amenities.

MarineMax Newport's Frank Brennan assisted in the transaction. The yacht will enter private service following final commissioning. Ocean Alexander currently produces the 28E at its Kaohsiung, Taiwan, China, facility with an estimated 12-month build timeline.

Ocean Alexander is a family business. Two generations of one family have guided the shipyard for almost four decades. With manufacturing in Taiwan, China, Ocean Alexander is consistently one of the top selling brands for large yachts in the U.S. and currently produces models ranging from 26 to 36 meters in length.
