Ocean Alexander 36L (2020 - 2021) 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 semi-displacement hull of the 36L delivers speeds of up to 22 knots.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Ocean Alexander 36L offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 8 guests with its 4 cabin layout option. The 36L benefits from a master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a dressing table and a sofa is a standout. The Benetti Mediterraneo 116 and Horizon RP120, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 10 guests in 5 cabins, still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family or group getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Ocean Alexander 36L delivers a steady 18 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Westport Yachts W117 with an impressive cruising speed of 20 knots. The Ocean Alexander 36L 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 Benetti Mediterraneo 116, 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 Horizon RP120 impresses with its extensive range of 3,300 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Ocean Alexander 118 and Westport Yachts W117 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Westport Yachts W117 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 24 knots and cruising speed of 20 knots. The Benetti Mediterraneo 116 has an impressive gross tonnage of 271GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Ocean Alexander 36L stands out with notable features and design elements. These yachts cater to a wide range of preferences and needs, making the choice a matter of personal taste and specific requirements in the world of luxury yachting.
