Description
The Monk designed Ocean Alexander 640 Pilothouse deftly combines the qualities of the most exquisite motor yacht with the tough seaworthiness and no-nonsense features of a true cruising yacht. The expansive salon with its rich appointments leaves no doubt this is a luxury motor yacht. Yet, in the pilothouse, practical considerations for the cruising yachtsman abound - port and starboard access to walk-around side decks, a full-size helm chart table, and an adjacent galley and dinette for companionable cruising. Below, three staterooms and two full heads provide comfortable quarters for owners and guests - for quick jaunts up the coast or extended cruises to more distant waters. The fast, stable and efficient Power Channel hull with reduced 4-foot draft and 1500-gallon fuel capacity take owners wherever they want to go.
Bluewater is spacious and able to accommodate multiple guests effortlessly. Its ample seating and roomy staterooms add to the level of comfort offered by Ocean Alexander. Her galley up design allows for the captain and cook to still feel part of the day’s activities. The comfortable wheelhouse and flybridge sports fly-by-wire controls, digital displays and read outs for the Detroit Series 60 motors. An aft starboard docking station is in the cockpit.
Every part of this yacht is a pleasure to be in. Solid handrails and stairs allow those on board to safely transverse through the different levels. Thick handrails for the walk around and swim step access also increase the level of safety for the boat.
