Ocean Alexander 74
Known for its high-tech engineering, Ocean Alexander uses
carbon-fiber–infused composite and a vacuum-bag layup technique in building
its new 74 motor yacht. The resulting boat is lightweight, yet tough enough for
offshore passages. Although she is a production model, the Asian shipyard offers
owners quite a bit of flexibility in her layout. The flybridge has a variety of
seating options, and a dayhead is available. The main-deck salon and galley come
in different configurations, and the owner’s suite is offered with his-and-hers
heads or a single head and walk-in closet. The 74’s interior, richly trimmed in
sakura wood, also holds two guest staterooms and a crew quarters.

Moloka’i Strait 75 Hercules
The first model in the new Moloka’i Strait 75 series,
Hercules is an expedition yacht designed for ocean
voyages in all latitudes. Her steel displacement hull features double-bottom
construction and five watertight compartments for ultimate safety. But while her
exterior is rugged enough to take on punishing seas, her interior is finely
finished to luxury yacht standards, with satin-varnished woodwork and granite
countertops. Sponberg Yacht Design created her layout, which includes three
large staterooms located amidships for comfort while in a seaway. Although crew
quarters are included in her general arrangement, Hercules was designed to be operated by an experienced
owner. www.molokaistrait.com (Click image to enlarge)

Viking 74 Convertible
Sleek and swift, the 74 Convertible is the new queen of New
Jersey shipyard Viking’s sportfishing fleet. Twin MTU 2000 M93 diesels give her
a top end of 39 knots and a cruising speed of 33 knots. The business end of the
boat is the huge, 218-square-foot teak-soled cockpit, which includes a wide
mezzanine deck overlooking the action. The yacht’s interior features
hand-finished high-gloss teak joinery. Four staterooms with ensuite heads are
standard, including a separate crew cabin aft, but a five-stateroom layout is
also available. The Viking 74’s flybridge features a custom-built helm pod with
single-lever electronic controls for precision maneuvers. www.vikingyachts.com (Click image to enlarge)

Marlow Explorer 70E Command Bridge
Built with high-strength materials including Kevlar composite
and Corecell, the new Marlow Explorer 70E is certified to Germanischer Lloyd
Class A standards for operation in wave heights over 18 feet and sustained winds
of more than 40 knots. This world-girdling expedition yacht has a top speed of
26 knots with twin Caterpillar C18 diesels, but is equally comfortable cruising
at a displacement speed of 8.3 knots—when her fuel use drops to nine gallons per
hour. The yacht’s hand-crafted interior features high-gloss teak woodwork
finished to the highest standard. A variety of layouts are available to suit her
owner’s individual desires. www.marlowexplorer.com (Click image to enlarge)

mechanical outfitting and an impressive inventory of standard equipment and
features, including elegant appliances and fixtures, granite countertops,
stabilizers, bow and stern thrusters, 25-kilowatt generator, inverters, air
