Ocean Alexander 155 Megayacht (2010 - 2020) Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the displacement hull of the 155 delivers speeds of up to 22 knots.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Ocean Alexander 155 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 12 guests with its 6 cabin layout option. Most of its rivals, including the Westport Yachts 164 and Sunseeker 50M Ocean, share the same 12 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The 155 benefits from a master cabin with a his and hers en-suite bathroom, a his and hers dressing room and a study is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Gulf Craft 155, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 12 guests in 5 cabins, still offers an exceptional level of comfort for family or group getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Ocean Alexander 155 delivers a steady 17 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Westport Yachts 164 with an impressive cruising speed of 20 knots or the Westport Yachts Westport W172 with a respectable cruising speed of 19 knots. The Ocean Alexander 155 emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed, catering to a different set of priorities. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Gulf Craft 155, with the slowest cruising speed of 14 knots, emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and enjoying the journey over the destination.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Westport Yachts 164 impresses with its extensive range of 5,200 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Gulf Craft 155 and Sunseeker 50M Ocean all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Westport Yachts 164 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 24 knots and cruising speed of 20 knots. The Gulf Craft 155 has an impressive gross tonnage of 525GT, the largest of the competitors here.
