Ocean Alexander 90 Motoryacht:
World-Ranging Yacht w/Skylounge Option
The "country kitchen" design of the Ocean Alexander 90 Motoryacht puts a cozy dinette area next to the helm station, and just a step from the galley, creating a great spot for breakfast or mid-day snacks. The formal dining area, which seats eight, is just abaft the galley. She is also available in a Sky Lounge version; with the enclosed pilothouse on the third deck, the lower helm is eliminated, thus freeing up room there for other uses.
