Lucia

Volume built for a longer yacht is the promise of the 28E flybridge design, and Lucia delivers it through a full-beam on-deck master and an enclosed skylounge, features many yachts near her length do without. Ocean Alexander built her in 2023, and she is offered through Boatcrowd from Gold Coast, Australia. Ten guests and a crew of five share a platform designed around space rather than length alone.

Build and provenance

She is a flybridge motor yacht on a monohull, delivered new by Ocean Alexander in 2023 to the 28E design, a hull built to carry volume beyond her 28 metres. With no refit behind her, a buyer inspects original equipment rather than later work, and her survey will read as a young-yacht report rather than a repair history.

Layout and accommodation

Ten guests sleep across five cabins, including the full-beam master forward on the main deck, a layout that keeps the owner level with the saloon rather than down a set of stairs. A crew of five works from their own quarters aft, and the enclosed skylounge above adds a second living level that functions through any weather, doubling as a cinema room, a second lounge or a command post over the water.

Performance and engineering

Twin MAN V12 diesels give her an 18-knot cruise and a 20-knot top speed, figures that suit coastal running rather than long passages. Stabilisers hold her flat at rest as well as under way, and twin 32kW generators back a freshwater system holding 1,703 litres, enough for extended time away from a marina without rationing.

On deck and at anchor

The boat deck carries a four-person jacuzzi and open lounging, the kind of upper-level retreat that turns an anchorage into an evening destination. Starlink connectivity keeps the boat online well offshore, useful for a family who works as they cruise.

Where she lies and how to see her

Lucia lies at Gold Coast, Australia. Boatcrowd sets up viewings and is present for each one, and once a buyer's offer is accepted we bring in a surveyor and organise the sea trial before handover.
