Ocean Alexander 27R Revolution Series | 88 Feet | Southeast Florida Brokerage
The Ocean Alexander 27R is the flagship of the Revolution series and one of the most distinctive luxury motor yachts in its class. At 88 feet with an on-deck master stateroom, beach club, five stateroom layout and twin MAN V12 diesels, it is built for owners who want serious offshore capability without sacrificing the living space and entertaining features of a much larger yacht.
The 27R was designed in partnership with Evan K. Marshall and represents a deliberate departure from Ocean Alexander’s more traditional models. The Revolution series prioritizes modern exterior styling, expanded interior volume and a social layout that performs as well at anchor in the Bahamas as it does underway offshore.
For buyers and sellers evaluating the 27R in the brokerage market, understanding how this model trades and how it compares to the broader Ocean Alexander lineup is where the conversation starts.
What Defines the Ocean Alexander 27R
The on-deck master stateroom is the feature most 27R owners cite first. Positioned on the main deck with windows on all sides including overhead, it offers natural light and privacy that a belowdecks master simply cannot match. For owners who spend extended time aboard, that distinction is significant.
The beach club sets the 27R apart at the transom. Where most yachts in this size range have a standard swim platform and transom door, the 27R has tinted sliding glass doors opening to a fully equipped entertainment space with wet bar, flat screen television and L-shaped seating. The hydraulic swim platform carries a 1,500 pound capacity.
The salon is defined by near floor-to-ceiling windows running the full length of the main deck, creating a constant visual connection to the water. The formal dining area seats ten. The galley is separated by a forward bulkhead and equipped for serious onboard cooking with full-size appliances.
The flybridge offers dual entertainment zones with an aft whirlpool surrounded by lounge seating and a forward covered dining and bar area that seats ten or more. The enclosed pilothouse section provides all-weather helm operation with clean sightlines.
Five staterooms accommodate owners and guests across an on-deck master, three VIP staterooms and one guest cabin below. Crew quarters are separate with three cabins including a captain’s cabin.

OA 27R Layout and Design
The 27R layout is organized around a clear separation of spaces that works in real ownership. The main deck carries the salon, galley, formal dining and the on-deck master. The lower deck has the three VIP staterooms, guest cabin and crew quarters. The sky deck carries the enclosed helm and pilothouse. The flybridge is dedicated entirely to outdoor entertaining.
That separation means owners can have guests aboard, a full crew working and still maintain privacy in the master without traffic flowing through the same corridors. On a yacht this size, that kind of layout discipline matters on longer passages and extended cruises.
The vertical bow design expands interior volume forward without adding waterline length, which is one of the reasons the 27R feels significantly larger than its 88-foot LOA suggests.
Ocean Alexander 27R in the Brokerage Market
The 27R is a newer model and brokerage examples are limited. Early brokerage transactions have reflected the yacht’s position as a flagship platform and asking prices on documented examples have ranged from approximately $7,500,000 to $8,500,000 depending on year, hours and equipment level.
Because production volume is limited and the buyer pool for an 88-foot yacht in this price range is selective, presentation, documentation and timing matter significantly in 27R transactions. Unlike the 70E or 85E where a broader buyer pool creates more consistent demand, the 27R requires the right buyer to be actively in the market at the right time.
For sellers, that means entering the market with complete documentation, professional presentation and pricing that reflects current buyer expectations rather than what was paid at purchase. For buyers, it means working with a specialist who has visibility into both active listings and off-market opportunities
in this size range.

How the 27R Compares to Other Ocean Alexander Models
The 27R sits above the 85E and 90R in the Ocean Alexander lineup in terms of size, price and interior volume. Buyers who have been considering the 90R and want more space, a more contemporary design or a beach club at the transom often find the 27R to be a meaningful step up rather than simply a larger version of the same yacht.
Compared to European alternatives in the same size range the 27R typically offers more interior volume and livability at a price point 10 to 20 percent below comparable European platforms. The MAN V12 diesel package and Sleipner stabilization system give it genuine offshore capability that owners who run the Bahamas or the Northeast appreciate in real conditions.
The 27R is not an entry point into Ocean Alexander ownership. It is a destination the model buyers move to when they know what they want and are ready for a yacht that delivers it at a level the smaller models cannot.

Is the Ocean Alexander 27R a good yacht for Bahamas cruising?
Yes. The 27R is well suited to the Bahamas run and Southeast Florida cruising patterns. The MAN V12 diesel package and Sleipner stabilization system give it genuine offshore capability. The beach club, flybridge entertainment spaces and five stateroom layout make extended Bahamas cruising with family and guests practical at a level the smaller Ocean Alexander models cannot match.
How many crew does the Ocean Alexander 27R require?
The 27R is designed for captain-plus-crew operation. Most ownership programs run the yacht with a captain and two to three crew depending on cruising style and guest load. The separate three-cabin crew quarters with captain's cabin and crew cabins makes full-time liveaboard crew practical without compromising guest privacy.
