Get a feel for what it's like to head out cruising on a 2017 Ocean Alexander 70e motor yacht. We take her off the docks and out into the waters off of Marathon in the Florida Keys.
In the video we mention the headsets we use when arriving at or departing a marina. You can read all about what we use here: myoloh.com/oloh-gear-our-favo...

Fantastic yacht. I give it a 9 out of 10. It would have been a 10, if cocktails were served.

Thank you for the ride! I even heard a little grumbling of the engine while docking towards the end. Thank you for quenching that thirst of mine hearing the engines running. Fair winds and following seas!

I was very impressed with the OA 70 E when I went aboard one at the boat show in Seattle a few years ago. Also nice that they are built in Florida.😎

Thanks Donna. Yeah - this one was a little shorter but we really wanted to keep it tight to give a basic sense of being underway on that boat. More longer videos on the way and, of course, more Jasper!

Hey guys Thanks for the video Really amazing how you can manoeuvre a 70 footer just from a joystick nowadays (not even mentioning the info now available on those massive screens and the skyhook feature)…. I’d love to see how docking or leaving the dock was done before that technology .. keep them coming … André

On 5 boats I owned (none larger than 25 ft) everyone had the largest bimini that could fit. Having lived in FL for 40 years I love the sun but not on me.

@OLOH 2 жыл бұрын

A really nice feature of The 70e is the massive sunshade that covers the foredeck seating - they don’t keep it up when moving the boat. There’s another one that covers the seating area in the bridge deck aft.

I love Ocean Alexanders. They just seem to hit some spot for me. And I am glad you did a recon on the cut, bumping something with pod drives can be very pricy.

Agreed! And it's a shame they don't have anything at all that is squarely in owner/operator category.

Hey guys, hope all is well! Wanted to see where you were these days? I may be heading over to Abacos for the first time, a little nervous! Want to leave from FTL go to west end and take a week or so to go to some different marinas, and some nice anchorage’s, then end up in Bimini on our last day, any suggestions for marinas or quite anchorage’s? Maybe we will run into you at some point so I can buy you many cocktails for all your great advice for us new guys! Thanks again!

@OLOH 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Stephen - nice to hear from you. Sounds like a great trip, although you'll find that you'll want to stay more than a week! The most important piece of your planning will be your crossing days. It's not a long ride across but pick your days carefully. We were mostly in marinas and focused on the Exumas during our Bahamas Adventure, but you can check out the full details of what we did here: myoloh.com/category/bahamas/

Do you know when you’re going to Arena should say how much does Marina cost and show us the restaurants and stuff around the different marinas and the phone numbers of the different marinas that you pulled into

What an awesome ship and Great videos keep them coming Thank you. The name 3B's what it stand for? And does Capt. John and his wife (hope I got that right) crew the boat by themselves?

@OLOH 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Brett - thanks for the kind words. The 70e is a great owner/operator yacht for seasoned cruisers and John and his wife do manage it all themselves. Their last name begins with the letter B and the three B’s represent the two of them and their son. Cheers!

Robert Sherer, known as Bob423 on Active Captain and through his ICW Facebook Group (ICW Cruising Guide by Bob423) is who you're talking about. His focus is on ICW travel and his resources are part of our arsenal when we're traveling the Intracoastal Waterway between Virginia and Florida.

@OLOH 2 жыл бұрын

That part of it is very protected anyway. It's a small marina in the quiet Coco Plum area of Marathon (away from the harbor) called White Marlin. Nice to see your comment - curious if you have any idea how we "know" each other.
