Overview

As the fourth largest yacht production facility in the World (2021), Ocean Alexander has stepped into its own. Their commitment to technology, design, and safety in construction has no rival in the mid-category yacht production industry today. You will see frequent references to the aerospace industry. That is because their computer-aided design technology is down to the millimeter in precision.

RHYTHM 'N BLUES has had only one owner, who built her with many upgrade options. The most notable are the MTU engines, integrated touchscreen Hatteland navigation module (with Skyhook), and beautifully appointed helm station extension, complete with robust A/C, full dining table, and bar. RHYTHM 'N BLUES has always been professionally maintained by a crew of two. She shows like new, despite her 3,300 hours of usage. Everything is overbuilt, and she boasts redundant systems, for headache-free long-range cruising.

Manufacturer Provided Description

It's a temple for sun worshippers.  A swift, unshakable guardian in weather.  A quiet, opulent cruiser with an enormous wealth of standards - and beyond, plenty of intriguing, no-charge options.  It's the Ocean Alexander heritage, safety and craftsmanship you must have; combined with the wide-beam freedom and nimble speed you want.

When we tank-tested the new hull at Sea State V, it proved its mettle.  And when the designer began dreaming up its innovative interiors, Ocean Alexander pulled out all the stops, from exotic wood cabinetry to the gleaming stainless of its exacting engine room.
