What this builder is
Ocean Alexander's heritage page says Alex Chueh gave the company his name in 1977 and that its first boat, the Mark I of 1978, is still a sought-after classic — the yard says those first boats now sell for triple their original price. Under his son Johnny Chueh the company, Alexander Marine Co., Ltd., listed in Taiwan and headquartered in Kaohsiung, has built its Taiwan roots into U.S. manufacturing and worldwide service. The milestones it lists include ISO-9002 certification in 1998, vacuum-infused construction from 2004, its first 100-foot megayacht in 2005, a polyurethane topcoat in place of gelcoat from 2011, the 120 with designer Evan K. Marshall in 2014, a U.S. factory on Merritt Island, Florida in 2016, the Revolution series from the 90R in 2018 and the Puro series with Italian designer Giorgio Cassetta in 2022. Today's range is nine yachts — Revolution 27R, 30R and 35R, Legend 28L, 32L and 37L, Puro 30P, 35P and 40P — from 26.9 to 40.3 metres, all on twin MAN or MTU diesels. Each model page prints maximum and waterline length, beam, approximate draft and displacement, tanks, gross tonnage, generator and standard engines, with general-arrangement drawings for every deck; the build is semi-custom, starting from each model's layout options.
Who sails them
Ocean Alexander owners are experienced yachtsmen stepping into the 27- to 40-metre class — families and charter-minded owners who want a crewed skylounge or tri-deck yacht with an on-deck master, big windows and a beach club, built semi-custom with a say in layout and interior, and a builder that sends photo updates and welcomes them to see their yacht under construction.
Signature models
The 35R, named Best of Show by NBC Sports at the 2021 Fort Lauderdale show, leads the Revolution series that began with the 90R in 2018; the 32L with its on-deck master and five staterooms is the heart of the Legend series, and the 40P is the flagship of the Puro series introduced in 2022.
Strengths
Ocean Alexander is known for its engineering — finite-element design, aircraft-grade aluminium I-beams, unidirectional carbon fibre, military-grade aluminium fuel tanks, vibration-isolated engines and mirror-polished, colour-coded engine rooms — vacuum-infused construction since 2004, long collaborations with Evan K. Marshall and Giorgio M. Cassetta, semi-custom layouts, and worldwide service.
Considerations
The pages print every figure in both units with draft and displacement marked approximate (the 40P's at half load), but no speeds, range, berths or CE category, and a stateroom count only for the 32L; the 28L names its MTU V10 engines without a count; the 30P and 40P galleries are renderings; and the range starts at 26.9 metres, so there is no Ocean Alexander below superyacht size in the current line-up.

History
Ocean Alexander says that in 1977 Alex Chueh gave the company his name, his steely endurance and his insistence on engineering that leads the industry, and that the first boats he produced now sell for triple their original price. Building began in 1978 with the Mark I, which the yard calls a sought-after classic that defined its early look; in 1984 the 71-foot custom yacht Night Hawk set a size record for Asian boatbuilding, and in 1986 the production facility doubled. The factory gained ISO-9002 certification in 1998, vacuum infusion of fibreglass components followed in 2004, the first 100-foot megayacht in 2005, and in 2011 a polyurethane skin replaced gelcoat. The 120, designed with Evan K. Marshall, arrived in 2014; in 2016 a U.S. factory opened on Merritt Island, Florida, where the first 70e was built; the 112-foot tri-deck followed in 2017, the Revolution series with the 90R at FLIBS in 2018, the 45-foot Divergence centre console in 2019, a Best of Show award for the 35R at the 2021 Fort Lauderdale show, and in 2022 the Puro series with Italian designer Giorgio Cassetta. Now led by Alex's son Johnny Chueh, the company describes growing from its Taiwan roots into U.S. manufacturing, worldwide service and alliances with leading architects and designers.
