Lucia

Fresh from turning heads at the 2026 Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show, the 2023 Ocean Alexander 28E 'Lucia' perfectly embodies the evolution of modern luxury yacht design. Capturing attention dockside with her striking presence, sophisticated styling and unmistakable Ocean Alexander pedigree, she showcases the remarkable volume, innovation and liveability typically reserved for much larger superyachts, all within a highly capable 28-metre platform. Built with Ocean Alexander's renowned attention to engineering, craftsmanship and owner-focused functionality, 'Lucia' offers exceptional internal volume, expansive entertaining spaces and impressive cruising capability. With her owners now committed to the next stage of their Ocean Alexander journey, 'Lucia' presents a rare and immediate opportunity to secure a vessel of this calibre.

Stepping aboard via the supersized teak-laid swim platform, guests are immediately welcomed into a versatile waterfront entertaining zone that perfectly captures the 28E's emphasis on outdoor living. The expansive aft platform provides exceptional space for watersports activities, tender operations and relaxed lounging by the water, further enhanced by the custom FunAir rear platform boarding step/tender dock built specifically for her transom. The swim platform is complete with an integrated hi/lo platform section. Additional practicality has also been incorporated with a custom built-in rod locker within the adjacent crew area, ideal for extended adventures and sportfishing excursions.

Wide teak side steps lead forward up into the yacht's beautifully appointed cockpit, where seamless indoor-outdoor integration becomes immediately apparent. The outdoor entertaining area flows naturally into the main saloon through large electric sliding glass doors, creating an incredibly open and social atmosphere throughout the main deck. Inside, the saloon showcases Ocean Alexander's signature use of oversized glazing, flooding the interior with natural light while creating uninterrupted sightlines out to the surrounding cruising grounds. Recent upgrades, including Cavalier Bremworth Ripples carpet rugs in the saloon and skylounge, and an upgraded designer coffee table within the saloon, further elevate the already luxurious interior presentation.

The main saloon itself is arranged to maximise comfort and functionality for both private family cruising and large-scale entertaining. Plush lounge seating, refined finishes and carefully considered lighting create a warm and sophisticated atmosphere, while the fully integrated entertainment system has been significantly enhanced through comprehensive Sonos sound system upgrades, allowing full control of music and home cinema systems throughout the vessel via phone or iPad over Wi-Fi, including full surround sound capability within both the saloon and skylounge.

At the front end of the saloon, the formal dining area provides an elegant and dedicated space for onboard entertaining. Forward of the dining area, the galley itself is exceptionally well equipped for high-end onboard hospitality, and is thoughtfully arranged in a more private, semi-secluded layout to ensure chefs can prepare and service meals without disturbing guests in the main living spaces.

One of the defining features of the Ocean Alexander 28E layout is the highly desirable on-deck master stateroom, offering owners complete privacy and convenience without needing to transition below deck. Positioned forward on the main deck, the master suite benefits from expansive hull-side glazing, generous storage and a luxurious ensuite, creating a true private retreat while remaining closely connected to the yacht's primary living spaces.

Below deck, the accommodation layout continues to impress with four additional guest staterooms, creating a highly capable five-stateroom arrangement ideal for extended family cruising or accommodating larger guest groups in complete comfort. To port, a versatile lower deck wellness and utility space currently configured as a dedicated gym offers owners the flexibility to configure the room to their individual requirements, including an additional cabin if desired. The lower accommodation spaces are beautifully appointed and carefully designed to maximise both privacy and practicality for all guests onboard.

Above, the fully enclosed skylounge is perfectly suited to Australian and New Zealand cruising conditions, offering a protected second entertaining level that can be enjoyed year-round regardless of weather. This space becomes one of the yacht's true highlights, delivering elevated panoramic views while functioning as an additional lounge, cinema and command centre. The skylounge also benefits from the vessel's extensive entertainment upgrades, while the helm station has been enhanced with a helm-mounted iPad Pro integrating Octoplex and full vessel management systems for streamlined operational control. Underway comfort is further enhanced through the Side-Power hydraulic at-rest zero speed curved vector fin stabilisers, delivering exceptional stability both underway and at anchor.

Aft of the skylounge, the elevated boat deck has been thoughtfully configured as an additional private entertaining retreat, offering an exceptional vantage point to enjoy cruising destinations, sunsets and time at anchor. This expansive upper-level space features a luxurious jacuzzi, multiple sun lounge areas and flexible seating arrangements, creating a relaxed resort-style atmosphere rarely found aboard a yacht of this size. Whether hosting guests, enjoying quiet afternoons underway or unwinding at anchor, this elevated exterior deck further reinforces the Ocean Alexander 28E's reputation for delivering true superyacht-style liveability.

Externally, 'Lucia' presents in exceptional condition, with substantial investment made toward both aesthetics and functionality. All exterior lounges and chairs have recently been reupholstered in premium Italian MariaFlora outdoor fabrics from Milan, delivering both elegance and durability throughout the exterior entertaining spaces. Ease of maintenance has also been significantly improved through ceramic coating applications to the vessel's windows and stern areas from the underwater exhaust outlets through to the waterline, simplifying cleaning and preserving presentation standards.

Designed for extended cruising, 'Lucia' has also received a range of substantial systems upgrades that significantly enhance her capability and onboard independence. She now features a second Spot Zero water maker producing 227L/hr, providing both increased freshwater production and complete redundancy for remote exploration, alongside a Spot Zero dock water purification system for pure water supply throughout washing, showering and vessel maintenance. Further supporting her genuine global cruising credentials, onboard Atlas shore power conversion equipment allows seamless connection to varying international shore power voltages, ensuring effortless shore power compatibility virtually anywhere in the world.

Her onboard energy storage capacity has been dramatically enhanced through a major house battery upgrade to 1600Ah of lithium capacity with an additional inverter/charger system, allowing for off-grid operation with minimal generator reliance, quieter overnight anchoring and significantly reduced charging times. Global connectivity is also assured via the Starlink High Performance V2 global dish installation, delivering high-speed internet and communication capability virtually anywhere in the world.

Operationally, 'Lucia' benefits from meticulous ownership and maintenance oversight, including a fully maintained Seaflux management system providing complete vessel service and operational history. Ground tackle capability has also been upgraded through enhanced anchor chain systems and gypsy wheels, including upgraded 14mm stud-link chain configurations for improved anchoring confidence.

The Ocean Alexander 28E perfectly combines luxurious liveability and highly advanced engineering into a package that feels considerably larger than her 28 metres. Whether entertaining extensively in Australian waters, embarking on adventurous cruising or simply enjoying time aboard with family and friends, 'Lucia' represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire one of Ocean Alexander's most impeccably presented motor yachts, with an extensive list of thoughtful upgrades and enhancements.
