About Ocean Alexander
Alex Chueh founded Ocean Alexander in Taiwan in 1977, and the company remains in the hands of the same family, now led by his son. Its principal yard is in Kaohsiung, and the builder also maintains facilities in the United States, reflecting how closely its fortunes have followed the American market.
For decades the name was associated with robust, traditional cruising yachts shaped in collaboration with the Monk design office. More recently the range has been reinvented with modern profiles and larger volumes, much of it drawn by American designer Evan K. Marshall, and the newest Puro line was styled by Giorgio M. Cassetta.
The builder works on a semi-custom basis. Hulls and profiles are defined, while layouts, interiors and deck arrangements can be adapted. Ocean Alexander now concentrates on yachts in the high-80-foot to superyacht range, and it typically unveils new models at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.
Ocean Alexander yacht models
The current range is arranged in three series, named by length in meters. Earlier generations, including smaller flybridge motor yachts and the builder's Explorer models, remain common on the brokerage market.
- Revolution SeriesContemporary, performance-oriented motor yachts in the 27R, 30R and 35R, with large windows and an open, modern feel.
- Legend SeriesThe 28L, 32L and 37L, cruising yachts with a more classic silhouette and open or enclosed upper decks.
- Puro SeriesThe builder's newest and sportiest superyachts, the 30P, 35P and 40P, the last being the largest yacht the yard has built.

Discuss a Ocean Alexander yacht →Buying a Ocean Alexander yacht
A pre-owned Ocean Alexander is often a well-used yacht in the best sense: cruised regularly, and frequently run by a small professional crew. Buyers should look closely at engine and generator hours, stabilizers, air conditioning and the condition of exterior teak and finishes. Yachts that have spent their seasons between New England, Florida and the Bahamas deserve a careful look at corrosion and saltwater systems.
The larger Revolution, Legend and Puro yachts move into crewed territory, so running costs, crew quarters and whether a yacht fits a buyer's intended flag and cruising plans all matter. Daniel's buying guide explains how he approaches survey and sea trial.
Selling a Ocean Alexander yacht
Ocean Alexander has a loyal American following, and many buyers are repeat owners moving up within the brand. Pricing is best anchored in recent sold comparables across the same generation and series, adjusted for refit history, electronics and upkeep. A clean maintenance log is especially persuasive here, as is evidence that the yacht has been run by consistent, capable crew.
Most of the market meets in Florida, so Daniel often positions an Ocean Alexander around the Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach shows, while also presenting it to cooperating brokers and to his private network in New York and Europe. Owners who prefer privacy can sell quietly, as described in the off-market guide.
Ocean Alexander new builds
For owners considering a new Ocean Alexander, Daniel can help compare the three series, weigh semi-custom options and coordinate between the owner, the builder's dealer network, designers and an owner's representative as specification and construction progress.
Why work with Daniel Grant
Daniel is an independent broker, so his advice is not tied to one builder. He can set an Ocean Alexander honestly against its Italian and Taiwanese peers, and with the support of Reel Deal Yachts in Miami he brings the structure of an established brokerage to a very personal service.
His clients value discretion and a straight answer. Whether the question is when to sell, whether a refit will pay for itself or how a particular hull compares with her sisters, Daniel grounds the conversation in sold comparables and the realities of the American and European markets rather than in asking prices.
