The 85 OA is an exceptional example of the highly regarded Ocean Alexander 85E, combining timeless styling, outstanding craftsmanship, generous accommodations, and the quality engineering for which Ocean Alexander is known.

Designed by acclaimed superyacht designer Evan Marshall, Hull #17 features a thoughtfully arranged interior and exterior layout that seamlessly blends luxurious living with exceptional functionality. Rich exotic wood finishes, polished stainless steel accents, and elegant stone surfaces create a sophisticated yet inviting atmosphere throughout the yacht, with the same attention to detail extending into the crew accommodations and service areas.

Significantly upgraded and maintained throughout 2024 and 2026, the 85 OA has benefited from an extensive program of mechanical servicing, system improvements, and interior and exterior enhancements. Both CAT main engines received comprehensive 1,000-hour services in 2024, followed by 250-hour CAT services performed by Pantropic in 2026. Additional highlights include generator servicing with new heat exchangers, new AGM battery banks, Side-Power stabilizer and thruster hydraulic system servicing, a new SeaXchange/Spot Zero watermaker, upgraded Garmin equipment, eight Lumishore underwater lights, and new Carrara quartz countertops.

Accommodations & Interior

The 85 OA offers a desirable four-stateroom, four-en-suite layout, highlighted by a spacious full-beam master suite. Three additional guest staterooms provide comfortable and private accommodations, making the yacht equally well suited for extended family cruising or entertaining guests.

A conveniently located day head serves the main living and entertaining areas, while separate aft crew quarters feature two cabins and a private head, allowing for efficient crew operations without compromising owner and guest privacy.

Throughout the interior, Ocean Alexander's craftsmanship is evident in the beautifully joined woodwork, quality stone finishes, and thoughtfully designed living spaces. Recent enhancements, including new galley and salon Carrara quartz countertops, updated upholstery, carpeting, and custom LED-backlit artwork, further complement the yacht's refined interior.

The 85 OA's exterior spaces have been designed to maximize enjoyment on the water, offering generous areas for entertaining, dining, and relaxation.

Premium teak decking, comfortable seating arrangements, and quality finishes create an inviting environment for owners and guests. The flybridge provides an exceptional setting for outdoor entertaining, complemented by upgraded JL Audio speakers, a new amplifier, and a new icemaker.

Additional improvements, including updated exterior upholstery, lighting, aft deck speakers, and eight Lumishore RGBW underwater lights, further enhance the yacht's appearance and onboard experience.
