Touring a 2018 Ocean Alexander 70e

Matt and Tim take a walk through a 2018 Ocean Alexander 70e while it's in the yard at Pacific Coast Yachting Services.

The conversation covers the features that stand out on this owner-operated cruising boat, including the hydraulic swim platform, multiple outdoor living spaces, enclosed flybridge, four-stateroom layout, and a surprisingly accessible engine room. Along the way, Matt shares why Ocean Alexander made certain design decisions and how features like Volvo IPS drives, Dockmate, lithium batteries, and modern onboard systems affect the ownership experience.

Whether you're considering an Ocean Alexander, shopping in the 65-75 foot range, or just enjoy seeing how other boats are laid out, this walkthrough offers plenty of ideas and practical observations from two longtime Pacific Northwest boaters.
