Ocean Alexander 112 Motor Yacht

The flybridge on this model may not be the biggest, but with so many al fresco lounges across this yacht’s three above-the-waterline decks, it doesn’t need to be. Covered with a hardtop canopy, you’ll find a U-shaped sofa with a couple of teak-topped cocktail tables as well as an elevated jacuzzi-spa pool with 360-degree elevated views. One level down and you will find a forward sofa with a drinks bar out in front of the pilothouse, while to the rear of this space there is a sundeck with a side dining sofa, a walk-in wet-bar with an Electrichef barbecue grill and a Uline fridge, and space to the rear for sun-loungers or tender storage with a Steelhead Marine hydraulic davit. Step inside the pilothouse and you will discover that this space is not strictly about piloting: it also features a swish cocktail lounge with a sofa and an Art Deco-inspired minibar with speckled granite surfaces. The yacht’s main helm features a trio of Garmin multi-function touchscreens with integrated autopilot and radar, Side Power bow and stern thruster controls, Vector Fin stabilizers, a marine camera, engine feedback, a Ritchie compass and Stidd helm chairs.

An incredible amount of teak-lined outdoor space is available across the main deck, with a secluded three-zone sunpad out on the foredeck just a taste of what is on offer down here. To the rear there is a sprawling shaded cockpit with a pair of connected L-shaped transom sofas hugging twin breakfast tables that can be joined together, while side steps lead down to a full-beam swimming platform at the stern. On the port-side side-deck, meanwhile, you will encounter a fold-out bulwark that can easily be transformed into a fold-out cocktail terrace.

Floor-to-ceiling glazing, lowered bulwarks and sliding glass doors to both rear and port provide plenty of natural light across a sophisticated main-deck salon lined in an array of precious and exotic woods in lacquered, veneered and satin-polished finishes. There are cushioned wall panels, blue-and-white marble bulkheads, backlit ceiling crowns, hand-finished cabinets and glass-topped tables in here, along with an L-shaped sofa, a pair of armchairs, a dining table for up to ten guests and a twisting metal and stone staircase up to the bridge that is a real architectural highlight.

An enclosed Euro-style galley with a dinette lounge features a four-zone Wolf induction hob, a Wolf convection oven, a Thermador microwave, marble and granite surfaces, a wide Sub-Zero fridge with a water dispenser, wine coolers, an ASKO dishwasher, an icechipper and a double Blanco sink. Ahead of this you will discover a main-deck, full-beam owner’s stateroom with sloped glazing, a side sofa, a work desk, a king-sized bed and a sunken bathroom with two walk-in dressing rooms, a whirlpool bathtub, ceramic sinks, steel fixtures, backlit mirrors, marble surrounds and a fully enclosed shower cubicle with bench-seating.

There are up to four more en-suite staterooms across the lower-deck, including two vast double cabins, though one of these can be exchanged for a lower-deck gym room. Rooms on this level feature dark wood surrounds, mullioned windows and full-height closets, while a separate crew quarters for up to five hosts its own galley, lounge and head facilities.

A pair of ultra-powerful 260mhp MTU 16V 2000 M94 diesel shaft-drive engines turbo-charge this vessel to top speeds topping the 26 =-knot mark, with super-smooth cruising speeds clocking in at 17 knots. Drive this vessel a little slower at a trawler-like pace of 10 knots, meanwhile, and you will be astounded by a range of some 7,500nm, making this sturdy vessel a real globe-trotter.
