MarineMax currently has Almost Done, an Ocean Alexander 27R, listed for sale with an asking price of $7.99 million. The low-hour 2022 build will make a lasting impression with its beach club, whirlpool spa and five-stateroom layout which has an on-deck master stateroom and three VIP staterooms in total.

The “R in this series from Ocean Alexander, stands for Revolution,” Yachting previously reported. “It’s an apt description because the series, which also includes the 88-foot 27R and 97-foot 30R, is different from anything else Ocean Alexander has built in its 40-plus years in business. Starting with the styling, which is decidedly modern and edgy, there’s a deliberate break from the builder’s more traditional look. It’s all the more notable that the appearances of both the traditional cruisers and the Revolution series come from yacht designer Evan K. Marshall.”

Stepping onto Almost Done’s hydraulic swim platform guests will immediately notice the beach club. Where most yachts have a white transom door, the Ocean Alexander 27R has tinted sliding glass doors that open to expose a fully-equipped entertainment space with a wet bar, flat-screen TV and an L-shaped settee.

Stairs flanking the beach club lead to Almost Done‘s cockpit, which has shaded alfresco dining with a table and transom bench seat.

Near sole-to-ceiling windows run the length of the 88-footer’s salon bringing in natural light and creating a sense of openness and volume. Smartly placed furniture helps to define the salon’s entertainment spaces with an L-shaped sofa to port and cabinet to starboard, moving the casual seating aft and having a more formal dining space forward at the 10-person dining table.

A bulkhead forward of the salon’s formal dining separates the galley from the salon. The galley, which is furnished with stone countertops and painted paneled cabinets, is set up for the 27R’s chef to prepare next-level meals with Jenn-Air appliances, including an over-the-range microwave, a dishwasher, an electric cooktop and an electric oven. It also has a stainless-steel kitchen sink with a pull-out faucet, cabinetry stowage with hidden hinges, a Whirlpool garbage disposal and trash compactor, a 32-inch Fisher & Paykel refrigerator and a Scotsman Brilliance gourmet clear ice maker.

Impressive spaces on board Almost Done continue at the flybridge. The after section boasts a whirlpool space surrounded on three sides by a lounge pad. Forward and to port, is a C-shaped sofa with two fixed tables that create an alfresco dining space for 10 or more people. When it’s time for cocktails, there’s a three-seat bar to port. In the enclosed portion of the flybridge is the helm station, a desk and a C-shaped dinette.

When it’s time to catch some sun, guests can head to the foredeck lounge with its three-person sun pad and a C-shaped dinette, making this an excellent spot to enjoy sundowners with friends.

The 27R is notable for its on-deck master stateroom, which is bathed in natural light thanks to windows in all directions, and even overhead. It has a king berth, walk-in closets, electric shades and an en suite head with a heated stone sole. Belowdecks, guests will find three VIP staterooms and one guest cabin. All three VIP staterooms have queen berths, stowage and en suite heads. The final guest cabin has a twin berth. There is also a three-cabin crew quarters, which has two cabins with bunks and one captain’s cabin.

Twin 1,650 hp MAN V-12 diesels provide power for Almost Done, giving it a reported 24-knot top hop. At press time, the engines had just 470 hours on them and a full warranty through September 2024. The 27R is also equipped with Sleipner Vector Fin stabilization and 23.3 hp bow and stern thrusters to enhance close-quarter maneuvering.
