Ocean Alexander 60 MK1 Motor Yacht for Sale – Fort Lauderdale
Overview
The 2001 Ocean Alexander 60 represents a proven platform for extended-range cruising and comfortable entertaining, offering the three-stateroom, three-head layout that has made this model a fixture in the semi-displacement motor yacht market. Registered as *Change of Latitude*, this 60-foot vessel combines the classic Ocean Alexander design philosophy—generous interior volume, reliable twin diesel propulsion, and functional deck arrangement—with a comprehensive systems upgrade that reflects significant owner investment in navigation, helm ergonomics, and onboard comfort. Priced at $795,000 and located in Fort Lauderdale , Florida, this example presents a turnkey cruising platform for buyers seeking proven offshore capability without the premium pricing of newer construction.
Layout and Deck Design
The Ocean Alexander 60's interior footprint is organized across three distinct accommodation levels, with the main salon, galley, and pilothouse occupying the upper deck, three staterooms distributed forward and amidships, and the flybridge providing a secondary helm and entertaining space. The layout prioritizes flow and usability: the large open salon connects directly to the galley via two steps, creating an integrated living space suitable for both casual cruising and entertaining, while the pilothouse forward provides a dedicated navigation station with full visibility and direct access to the flybridge via companionway stairs. The main salon features a leather sofa, convertible teak coffee table, and professionally appointed décor, with double sliding doors opening aft to the cockpit and dual sliding screen doors at the aft salon entrance—a configuration that maximizes ventilation and visual connection to exterior spaces. Hunter Douglas blinds manage light and privacy, while a Bose surround sound system and Sony DVD player support media entertainment. A custom end table and bookshelf at the forward settee provide both storage and visual interest. Deck circulation includes wide walk-around passages on both port and starboard sides, with port and starboard hull doors and folding wing stations extending the sight lines from the helm. The Portuguese bridge forward, single bow access door, and teak-covered swim platform with stainless steel removable U-rails create a logical progression from helm to bow to water. The boat deck aft, accessed down two steps, houses the davit system and anchor windlass, with port and starboard storage lockers and access to the lazarette. Teak folding chairs, a teak table, and a cockpit shower establish the aft cockpit as a functional entertaining and water-sports station.
Helm and Electronics
The pilothouse helm represents a significant upgrade from original equipment, with three new touchscreen monitors, upgraded electronic controls, and a modernized navigation suite that substantially improves situational awareness and ease of operation. The Stidd black leather helm seat with chrome base is raised to optimize visibility, accompanied by an L-shaped settee that provides additional seating and incorporates storage below. Port and starboard sliding doors with Phantom screens allow the helmsman to remain connected to exterior conditions while maintaining climate control. Navigation and communication systems include Garmin radar and dual Garmin GPS displays (Pilothouse 8617 and Flybridge 86112), Simrad Roberston AP 20 autopilot with a backup Auto Helm system, B&G depth sounder, B&G wind and speed log, and Raymarine 430 loud hailer. The VHF system comprises an Icom MC/245 in the pilothouse and an Icom remote mic on the flybridge, ensuring communication capability from both helm stations. The pilothouse also features an ARC spotlight remote, side power bow thruster control, and CAT digital engine displays, consolidating critical operational information at the helm. The flybridge helm repeats many of these systems: two Stidd helm seats (recovered in September 2024) with footrests and cup holders, full helm controls, upgraded electronic controls, a compass, Icom VHF with remote microphone, Wesmar stabilizer control, engine start/stop buttons, side power bow thruster control, trim tab controls, and CAT digital gauges. A new Bimini provides weather protection, while a U-shaped settee with a large folding table and starboard cabinet storage (including a drop-in freezer and sink) establish the flybridge as a secondary entertaining and cruising station.
Propulsion and Power Generation
Twin Caterpillar C12 diesel engines, each rated at 705 horsepower, provide the propulsive force for this semi-displacement hull. With documented engine hours of 4,316 (port) and 4,360 (starboard) as of October 2025, these powerplants indicate moderate service life relative to the vessel's 24-year age. The engines are paired with ZF IRM 325A gearboxes and shaft drive, a proven configuration that delivers the reported cruising speed of 10 knots and maximum speed of 16 knots while maintaining the fuel efficiency expected of displacement-hull operation. Electrical power generation is supplied by two Northern Lights generators: a 20 kW unit with 6,968 hours and an 8 kW unit with 1,421 hours (as of October 2025), providing redundancy and flexibility for extended offshore passages. A Watermakers Inc. watermaker supports extended cruising independence, while a 24-volt capacitor engine starting battery ensures reliable cold-weather ignition. The vessel's 1,300-gallon fuel capacity and 360-gallon fresh water capacity align with the semi-displacement operating profile and support extended cruising without frequent refueling or water replenishment.
Accommodations and Interior
The three-stateroom layout distributes sleeping accommodations across the vessel's length, with the master cabin amidships, a VIP cabin forward, and a mid-cabin aft. The master cabin features a centerline queen bed running fore and aft, two bedside tables, four large stainless steel opening ports, ample storage, and overhead prism lighting. A Samsung television and a six-drawer dresser provide entertainment and storage, while double-door access to the engine room allows convenient systems inspection and maintenance. The master head to starboard offers a large counter space, two large stainless steel opening ports, a VacuFlush head system, and a stall shower with glass folding door. The VIP cabin forward centers a queen bunk with four large stainless steel opening ports, an overhead hatch with screen for light and ventilation, two hanging lockers, and direct access to the forward guest head. The forward guest head is described as bright and light, with a large stainless steel opening port, a glass door to the stall shower, a VacuFlush head system, a Grohe faucet, and a prism deck light in the shower. The mid-cabin aft accommodates two bunks, two large stainless steel opening ports, a large hanging locker, substantial storage, and double-opening doors that create a more open space when desired. The day head adjacent to the galley provides additional head capacity for crew or frequent guests, supporting the vessel's three-head configuration.
Galley and Interior Systems
The galley, positioned up two steps from the main salon and open to it, is equipped with GE cooking equipment, a Frigidaire refrigeration/freezer with icemaker and water dispenser, a GE dishwasher, GE washer and dryer, a GE oven, and an oversized sink. This full-service galley supports extended cruising and entertaining, with appliance quality and capacity typical of vessels in this size and class. The professional décor throughout the interior reflects owner attention to aesthetics and comfort. Climate control is managed by Cruise Air and Dometic air conditioning systems, supporting year-round cruising in variable climates. Lighting throughout the vessel includes overhead prism lights in cabins and heads, contributing to a bright and open feel despite the vessel's age.
Stabilization and Seakeeping
The Ocean Alexander 60 MK1 is equipped with Wesmar trim tabs and a Wesmar stabilizer system, both accessible from the flybridge helm station via dedicated controls. These systems work in concert to reduce rolling and pitching during extended passages, improving comfort for passengers and crew during offshore operation. The Side Power bow thruster, controlled from both pilothouse and flybridge, enhances maneuvering in tight quarters and contributes to the vessel's practical seamanship profile.
Tender and Water Sports
A 14-foot Edgewater tender powered by a 40-horsepower Yamaha outboard is included with the vessel, providing independent mobility for exploration, fishing, and water sports. The tender is deployed via a Nautical Structures davit rated for 1,500 pounds, positioned to launch from the stern or to port.
