The 2003 Ocean Alexander 48 Altus accommodates six guests in three staterooms, is owner-operator friendly and is on the market for $299,750.
“The 48 seemed gifted with an easily driven hull. Given throttle, she rose to a plane with little fuss and reached a maximum speed of 25.4 knots at 3,000 rpm. At 2,700 rpm I recorded a speed of 20.9 knots-a solid cruising speed with a half load of fuel and an owner’s gear on board. I recorded low sound levels and the reading of 80 dB(A) in the salon at 2,700 rpm is worthy of note,” as previously reported in Yachting.
Andiamo is powered by twin 485 hp Yanmar diesel engines. This yacht can quickly spool up to a 25-knot top hop. At a 21-knot cruise speed, range is around 300 nautical miles. The motoryacht has the following electronics and navigation gear:
- Side-Power bow thruster
- 4″ Ritche compass
- Simrad AP22 Autopilot
- Furuno NavNet color multifunctional display
- GPS
- Chart Plotter
- Depth finder
- Radar
- VHF radio
- Icom IC-M32 handheld VHF radio
- Portable spotlight
Step aboard through the transom door and into the cockpit, which has plenty of room for a table and chairs for those who enjoy alfresco style dining. Fire up the barbecue grill and throw on a few burgers before taking a dive off the swim platform, which has new Seadek flooring. Want to catch dinner? The cockpit has two rod holders for wetting a line. A tender is stowed on the foredeck with a davit for launching and retrieval. Enjoy excursions to a private beach or just take an exploratory ride around nearby islands.
Climb up a set of stairs to the flybridge to join the captain and relax on an L-shaped settee with table or take a seat in the companion helm chair, all while enjoying 360-degree views. The flybridge has a Bimini top for shade and a plastic enclosure to protect the space from the elements.
Andiamo’s salon, accessed via a sliding glass door from the cockpit, has a satin-finish Burmese teak interior that glows in the natural light entering the superstructure’s side windows. Guests can relax on the L-shaped settee with a table to port or in a few loose chairs while watching a game on the flat=screen TV.
The galley is also to port, forward and open to the salon. Locking open the salon’s sliding glass door creates an open-air environment from the galley to the cockpit. Serve a hearty breakfast at the dinette across from the galley while preparing for the day’s adventure. The galley has plenty of counter space for meal prep and has the following amenities:
- FCI Max-Q reverse-osmosis watermaker
- 30-Gal. hot-water heater
- Microwave oven
- Three-burner electric cooktop
- Refrigerator/freezer
- Two stainless-steel sinks
