Ocean Alexander Yachts is based in Kaohsiung, Taiwan and the United States, and was founded in 1977 by Alex Chueh along with naval architect Ed Monk Jr. Using 3D modeling to engineer its yachts, the yard utilizes building materials such as featherweight unidirectional carbon fiber, and aluminum I-beams that are 10-times stiffer than wood or fiberglass. Attention to detail is seen in the company’s use of high-tech sound insulation to reduce engine noise, and make the ride more relaxing. Ocean Alexander also builds its own fuel tanks with military-grade aluminum alloy, the same used by military vessels, demonstrating the company’s commitment to building a high-quality product. Additional details can be seen in its well-known oval-shaped handrails that add distinction to the brand.
