Dream boats: Ocean Alexander 35R (2022-)

Oct 13, 2022

Designed to be the “icing on the cake” of the Ocean Alexander Revolution range, the 35R is at once an owner’s boat and a charter boat. She ensconces her guests in luxury and amazing views. She sports a beach club with an adjacent exercise room and sauna. The foredeck seems to go on and on and the top deck is designed for entertaining while even offering relaxation in a jacuzzi.

Major Features Aft beach club

• Single level main deck
• Light oak woodwork
• Master stateroom on main deck with a king-sized master berth
• Sub-zero refrigeration
• Hidden crew quarters entrance to guest accommodations
• Exercise room and Sauna
• Enclosed Skylounge

Beach Cabana

One of the more eye-catching aspects of the 35R is the aft beach cabana. Gone are the days of the simple hydraulic swim platform creating a teak beach. This is truly next-level thinking. There’s a bar with a stone surface and a TV just above to port. Below are refrigeration and an icemaker. A sofa is just alongside.

The dining area is under a stylized overhead.

Designed to seat the yacht’s complement of 10 in comfort, the table is offset to port to accommodate the stairs to the lower and upper decks.

The transition to the dining room is delineated by the change from carpeted decking to natural wood. The table is offset to port and seats 10 and there is ornate decorative work suspended above. The floor-to-ceiling windows continue to both sides, but here they are actually massive doors that open to merge the outside with the inside. As with all the windows on the main deck, these too are fitted with electric blinds that can be controlled with a handheld remote.

The master is forward on the main deck and is full beam. The 83” x 76” (210.82 cm x 193.04 cm) king-size berth is center-mounted with nightstands to both sides. Hull side windows are to port and starboard and include integrated portlights. There is a desk to starboard and a sitting area to port beneath the massive side window. There is more stylized detailing in the overhead that measures in at an impressive 7’2” (2.19 m). Storage is under the berth and walk-in closets are ahead and to both sides. To the forward bulkhead is a 50” (127 cm) TV flanked by doors to the head.

Pursuit S268 Sport CC

By Andy Adams

The Pursuit S 268 Sport centre console is a do-it-all kind of boat with a solid sense of style. Centre console designs have been developed for the southern blue water sport fishing enthusiasts (and this boat would raise fish with the best of them) but the Pursuit S 268 Sport centre console offers far more utility and enjoyment than just fishing.

Bayfield Marine Turns 40 with Big April Events

*(l to r) Holly, Adam, Pat, Ron, Shelley*

Ron and Pat Reder started out in October 1984 across the road from where they are right now on the Bayfield River in Bayfield ON. The store front was about 10 x 20 and the rest of that side of the building was a stock room, wood finishing room, then behind that was more back stock and the lunchroom. Expanding every few years for the store front, then moving over to this new building five years ago, this year with Adam, Shelley, and Holly are carrying on the business.
