Dynamic duo

It features some other touches added especially for the European market, including an extra stateroom and more options for loose furniture. A full-width main deck expands living space without compromising the performance and efficiency for which Ocean Alexander is known. This European-friendly model offers a spacious on-deck master with four additional staterooms below, a variation on previous models designed with four staterooms. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the salon provide near 360° views.

The upper deck features a Jacuzzi and a large exterior media screen. There is also a beach club with large sliding glass doors. It opens to a water level deck.

Ocean Alexander’s new 45D was also designed by Evan K. Marshall, and is the first in the Divergence series.

Four Mercury Verado 350 outboard engines power this sporty center console. Obviously suited to perform as a superb tender, the 45D is a day boat built to superyacht standards and is offered in Dive, Fishing and Coupe models. It features excellent engineering, luxurious finishing touches and innovative convertibility — including a patented drop-down bulwark.

The 45D is highly customisable, with more than 400 cosmetic options available to suit any owner’s wishes. Optional features range from gyrostabilizers and night vision to live-bait wells, rod holders or storage for diving accessories. In a Coupe version, the main saloon can be completely covered with glass to ensure the area is protected from weather, expanding its versatility in colder climates.

In the bow a comfortable seating area —arrayed around a table that can be built in fibreglass, wood or carbon — folds out to form a large sunpad. Aft of the helm is a large lounge area, equipped with an outdoor galley and grill. A coffee table converts to a comfortable dining table for six at the touch of a button. The drop-down bulwarks expand the beam to almost 6 meters and feature carbon fibre poles and hidden swimming ladders. There is plentiful shade and room for carrying diving gear, fishing equipment or water toys, too.

The interior has comfortable couches that convert to a double bed, a pop-up 49” TV, a head, a shower and a simple, secondary galley.

“When my office designed the new Revolution & Divergence series for Ocean Alexander,” says Marshall, “we focused on innovative design and a unique combination of features to appeal to an international market. In my opinion, we have successfully achieved that. The new direction started with the 90R, the first in the Revolution series, followed by the 45D, the first in the Divergence series.

The Divergence Series of boats offer fantastic flexibility to cater to different owners’ requirements — those who like sports, diving or fishing and at the same time for families that prefer cruising in a more luxurious environment. Instead of creating several models, we have designed just one, the 45D, which — depending on the configuration selected by each owner — offers a range of options and features.

In my opinion,” Marshall says, “there is no other yacht of this size offering the same combination of features on the market.

“These include a foldable platform, creating a super spacious cockpit for relaxing, swimming and dining.

The 90R, the first in the Revolution series, is a unique superyacht with tremendous volume compared to other 90-footers, with a one-of-a-kind beach club, full beam master suite and other features that cater to modern boating lifestyles.”
