In a recent refit, Alexa’s interior was beautifully upgraded in a timeless, uncluttered New England beach house style with white paint and chrome details offsetting fine carpentry
cosy lounge area with a TV and surround sound system to port, while the starboard side has further seating and a large dining table, plus a cocktail bar. Traditional lantern skylights flood the whole area with natural light and there’s a good view out through four large portholes on each side. The lower deck layout offers four
separate guest cabins, each with its own private en suite bathroom– a configuration that hasmade her popular for charter work,Murray explains, because it’s versatile enough to accommodate families, couples or groups of friends. The master cabin is a bright and sumptuous king size double with a spacious bathroom, copious wardrobe space, several portholes and deck hatches for ventilation. The other two doubles convert into twins, and with an extra pullman berth in the twin-bed cabin she can comfortably
host up to nine guests on board. While she’s proven her worth as a
great family cruiser and successful charter yacht in the Med and Caribbean, Murray points out that Alexa would also be ideal for a much more ambitious sailing programme. Her steel hull and rigging, stout aluminium spars and carbon topmast are extremely robust. Twin 315hp engines and generators give full dual redundancy of propulsion and hotel systems; she has a vast amount of tankage for fuel and fresh water, plus a 180-litre per hour watermaker, so she’s very well equipped to cruise in remote areas with full autonomy for long periods of time. She’s offered for sale in turn-key condition, well maintained and ready for her next round of adventures. ‘Due to her 120-tonne steel hull, Alexa is safe, stable and very capable offshore,’
saysMurray, who has skippered her across many thousands of oceanmiles. ‘With her gaffmainsail and easily controlled headsails, this yacht is an ideal ocean passage-maker that looks after you well. Whether it be a full circumnavigation or a trip to the Caribbean for the wintermonths, Alexa is in her element.’ At £2,950,000 and VAT paid, what’s not to like?
