2017 Ocean Alexander 85 Motor Yacht “CAROL ELAINE”

Broker’s Notes on “CAROL ELAINE”
“Carol Elaine” is one of the most highly equipped 85 Ocean Alexander Motoryachts built- hull #15 of the series, she has been lightly used with low hours and is in excellent condition throughout.

Items that you cannot find together on any other 85 Ocean Alexander include upgraded smooth and quiet 1920hp MTU M96L engines (standard is 1600hp), hydraulic swim platform AND davit so you can carry a ton of toys, Zero Speed fin stabilizers for at rest and underway stabilization, Ecomar waste treatment system so no need to overboard waste pump out, Watermaker to make your own freshwater and MUCH MORE…the list goes on and on.

“Carol Elaine” has a fantastic and functional layout that features 4 staterooms below deck, each with its own ensuite head for privacy, with a his and hers head in the master stateroom. Front loading washer and dryer is in the lower companionway for the utmost convenience along with massive storage areas for towels, linens and cleaning supplies. The upgraded walnut interior is stunning with custom design sketchface doors that add a rich tone and texture throughout.

The main deck of “Carol Elaine” has an extremely functional and easy flow with 4 main zones- Aft Deck, Salon/Dining, Galley/Pilothouse and Bow. The exterior aft deck features a massive table for 8, wet bar, fold down TV, port and starboard boarding gates and doors, beautiful overhead lighting fixtures and teak decking…literally all you could ask for at an arms length!

The Salon/Dining area is accessed through an electrically actuating glass entry door and surrounded by natural light from huge windows throughout. The salon has an L-shaped sofa with coffee table, 2 lounge chairs to port (one is a recliner!) and fold down TV from the ceiling. The dining area has a table with 8 chairs, buffet for glass and dishware storage and another cabinet to port with wine chiller, liquor storage and A/V equipment. Beautiful overhead lighting features create a rich and inviting tone day and night.

Passing from the dining area forward to the galley is a day head to port that is seamlessly integrated into the wall of the companionway.

The Galley/Pilothouse area is also bright and airy with huge windows throughout and beautiful wood flooring. The galley is packed with storage space and all the appliances you would find in your home kitchen, even a full size double door stainless steel refrigerator and freezer! Access to the side decks is available through pilothouse doors both port and starboard and stairs up to the flybridge are on the port side. The lower helm station is to port with 2 captain’s chairs as well as a dinette space with teak table.

The Bow area is easily accessible by the wide walk-around deck on both sides of the vessel with high gunnels for safety. When up there you will see a huge lounger with reclining backrests and access to your bow windlass storage.

The flybridge deck of “Carol Elaine” is a massive one level entertaining space that could feature a party up there all on its own! Centrally located forward is the upper helm station with 2 captain’s chairs and a lounger to starboard. The next area features a huge wet bar with all the accompanying appliances with a raised bar space and 4 bar stools- and to it’s opposite side is a large dining area with space for 8+ people.

Moving aft on the flybridge and out from under the hardtop is a stainless steel propane grill station with storage, huge storage locker with reclining sunpad on top and a massive open deck space in the farthest back that can be used for floating furniture, loungers, couch or even store dinghy/jet skis/mopeds, etc. with the davit crane.

In summary you have in “Carol Elaine” a very highly equipped yacht with an excellent layout that has been lightly used and well cared for throughout her life! If you are looking for a perfect platform for yachting adventure, this is it- and possible with anywhere from 1 to 3 crew aboard depending on the level of service desired

General Construction Properties
Ocean Alexander employs various techniques to reduce sound and vibration. focusing on providing a quiet and comfortable yachting environment through various proprietary techniques of controlling sound and noise transmission. Some of these techniques include, multiple insulation barriers including reflective materials, absorptive materials, dampening materials, air pockets and flexible and isolation mounts. Ultimately resulting in vibration/ sounds levels that are industry leading and at times 1/2 to 1/10 of ISO6954
