Ocean Alexander, the Taiwanese yard building in Seattle, produces motor yachts at lengths between 70 and 100 feet that combine North American build standards with accessible pricing for the level of quality delivered. Four Ocean Alexander yachts operate in Cuban waters through The Yacht Collection, each a well-maintained example of the yard’s sport-bridge and sky-lounge ranges.
Ocean Alexander’s semi-displacement hulls provide comfortable passage-making at cruising speeds between 16 and 22 knots, making them well-suited to the inter-destination distances that characterise a Cuban itinerary. The sky-lounge models in particular offer an enclosed upper-deck saloon that provides a shaded, air-conditioned space for daytime cruising without abandoning the view.
Charter rates for Ocean Alexander yachts in Cuba range from approximately 20,000 to 55,000 euros per week. The advance provisioning allowance of around 30 percent covers fuel, food, marina fees and crew costs. December through April is peak Caribbean charter season. Ocean Alexander occupies a practical middle ground in the Cuban fleet, well-suited to groups of six to eight who want a reliable and comfortable motor yacht at a sensible price point.
From Havana, the Ocean Alexander range covers the northern coast to Varadero efficiently, with the option of a southern crossing to the Jardines de la Reina for groups who want to experience Cuba’s finest marine environment. The compact scale of these vessels also suits the smaller marinas and anchorages along the Archipelago de los Colorados.
