Taiwanese yacht builder Ocean Alexander is opting for a two-pronged attack at the Cannes Yachting Festival this year. Both the 90R superyacht and the 45D sporty yacht are set to make their European debuts, and the shipbuilder has been busy fine-tuning its models to appeal more to a European market.

Designed by British studio Evan K. Marshall and Arrabito Naval Architects, the 90-foot 90R on display is the fifth hull from the yard’s first model of its Revolution Series introduced to the market last year. However, it is the first to benefit from an alternative exterior paint job, while the interior layout has also been reformatted to meet with European expectations.

“For the first time a 90R superyacht is painted in metallic grey, all other hulls were white,” says Giampaolo Murzi of Ocean Alexander Europe, official distributor for Europe, Turkey and Russia. “In addition, the layout is changed, there are five guest cabins instead of four in the standard version. And we’ve added some features, like a big exterior screen and a Jacuzzi on the upper deck.”

A key element is the stunning beach club which serves as the hub of the yacht both night and day; close-to-the-water action for watersports enthusiasts and come evening the wet bar with skylight makes for a cosy space from which to stargaze with cocktail in hand.
