Just a Vacation

Just A Vacation is built for hosting: ten guests across five cabins, a crew of five to run the boat, and a full-beam master suite on the main deck rather than tucked below. Ocean Alexander delivered her as a 30R in 2024, and she carries the deck toys and beach-club fit-out of a yacht used for entertaining as much as cruising.

Build and provenance

Ocean Alexander built Just A Vacation as a 30R, thirty metres or ninety-seven feet in length, delivered in 2024 with a fibreglass hull on a semi-displacement form built for efficient cruising rather than outright speed. Evan K. Marshall worked as both exterior and interior designer, so her look and her layout came from a single hand.

Layout and accommodation

Ten guests sleep across five cabins, one of them the full-beam suite on the main deck where the owner stays, forward and set apart from the guest cabins below. The remaining four cabins sit on the lower deck: a forward VIP, two further ensuite doubles, and a fifth that converts between twin berths and one larger bed, useful for children or an extra couple. A crew of five keeps the guest-to-crew ratio close, which on a boat that also works as a charter yacht means service stays personal.

Performance and engineering

She cruises at 18 knots and reaches 23 knots flat out, with twin diesel engines from MAN driving her semi-displacement hull. Stabilisers work both at anchor and under way, and a 2,040-nautical-mile range with 3,600 gallons of fuel give her the legs for real distance. A watermaker fitted aboard means she is not tied to a dock for fresh water.

On deck and at anchor

The flybridge adds a second helm and lounging above the main saloon, while sunpads and a swimming platform lead down to the beach club aft. A crane launches the jet ski, underwater lights extend the beach club after dark, and Wi-Fi and Starlink keep the connection live throughout.

Where she lies and how to see her

Just A Vacation lies in Fort Lauderdale, in the United States, ready for viewing. We set up the appointments and are there for every one, and once an offer is accepted, survey and sea trial follow before she changes hands. She also sails in our charter fleet out of Nassau, reaching the Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, St Martin, St Barths, St Kitts and Nevis and Antigua and Barbuda, so a buyer can spend time aboard her before deciding to own her.
