Ocean Alexander, the Taiwanese luxury motor yacht brand of Alexander Marine, has established a reputation for producing refined fibreglass motor yachts that combine Taiwanese build quality with thoughtful interior layouts and competitive performance at price points below comparable European alternatives. In the Bahamas, Ocean Alexander charters are typically available in the 20 to 35-metre range, carrying four to ten guests with one to three crew. The relatively compact size and semi-displacement hull form of most Ocean Alexander charter yachts makes the 50-nautical-mile crossing from Florida to Bimini manageable in most settled conditions, and the accessible draught of these vessels allows anchorage options that larger superyachts cannot reach. Bimini suits an Ocean Alexander charter well: the island is compact, the activities are water-focused, and the yacht’s role as a practical base for fishing excursions, snorkelling and evening anchoring fits the design philosophy of vessels built for active use rather than static display. Weekly rates for Ocean Alexander charters in the Bahamas run from approximately 20,000 to 75,000 euros before the advance provisioning allowance, typically 25 to 30 per cent, covering fuel, food, drinks and marina fees at Bimini Bay Marina or Alice Town. Season runs from October through April. For guests drawn to Bimini primarily by the fishing, the sportfishing grounds at Gun Cay and the bonefishing flats at South Bimini are the natural focus of any Ocean Alexander itinerary.
