Ocean Alexander yachts are built in Taiwan to a standard that combines Pacific Rim manufacturing efficiency with an American design sensibility, producing motor yachts that balance value against capability in a way few other yards can match. For a destination like Acklins and Crooked Island, where the journey is part of the experience and the reward is a remoteness that popular Bahamian islands can no longer offer, an Ocean Alexander provides the practical platform for genuine exploration at a price that makes the charter accessible to a wider range of guests.
Four Ocean Alexander yachts operate across Bahamas and Caribbean waters, typically in the 30-to-45-metre range. These are well-equipped vessels with good tender capacity, reliable watermakers and crew complements who know the southern Bahamian passages from direct experience. The build quality has improved significantly over successive generations, and current production represents strong value against European equivalents.
Charter rates for Ocean Alexander yachts in this region typically fall between 35,000 and 80,000 euros per week before expenses. The advance provisioning allowance of around thirty percent covers fuel for the inter-island passages, food, drinks, berthing and local fees. Provisioning in Nassau before the passage south is recommended. High season runs December through April.
From an Acklins base, the Ocean Alexander’s practical range makes local exploration comfortable and efficient. Colonel Hill on Crooked Island is the sheltered arrival point, with local restaurants and a small marina. Pitts Town Lagoon to the east offers flat-water anchoring for snorkelling days. Lovely Bay and Spring Point on Acklins provide pristine beach anchoring, and the outer reef at Castle Island attracts diverse reef fish and occasional pelagics.
