Key features

At 70 feet (21.34 meters) length overall with an 18 feet 2 inches (5.49 meters) beam, this yacht balances presence and poise, its notably wide beam delivering excellent stability, generous living volume, and a supremely comfortable ride. A draft of around 5 feet (1.5 meters) is shallow enough to slip into secluded coves while remaining deep enough to preserve a low center of gravity for reassuring composure underway. Power comes from twin Volvo IPS‑1200 diesel engines delivering a combined 1900 horsepower, providing impressive fuel efficiency and confident cruising between 21 and 23 knots, with an easy range of about 300–400 nautical miles at those speeds. The four‑stateroom layout includes a full‑beam primary suite, a VIP, and two guest cabins, complemented by a spacious salon and expansive foredeck, flybridge, and cockpit for relaxed lounging and effortless entertaining. The flybridge is a large open‑air upper deck crowned by a hardtop over the helm, with dedicated seating, dining, and sunbathing areas plus a wet bar and BBQ, while the separate crew quarters for one include a berth, shower, and toilet to ensure discreet service. Inside, a contemporary and luxurious design emphasizes open spaces, natural light, and premium materials—marble, wood, and leather—enhanced by high ceilings, enlarged windows, and custom finishes that create a bright, airy ambiance with salons and dining spaces ideal for hosting or unwinding. Advanced Garmin navigation and electronics deliver autopilot, radar, GPS, AIS, and satellite communications, all harmonized by smart integration for entertainment, lighting, climate, and shipwide systems through a central touchscreen interface; zero‑speed stabilizers elevate comfort both underway and at rest. Outdoors, expansive bow sun pads and dinette, an aft‑deck settee with dining table, and the flybridge lounge with dining table and a convertible sun pad that transforms for dining invite open‑sky living. Purpose‑built for both comfort and performance, the 70e handles long‑distance passages and brisk day trips with equal ease, its efficient hull design preserving smooth, predictable handling across a wide range of conditions.

Ideal use

This yacht is purpose‑built for luxury cruising, whether you’re savoring extended stays along the coast or stretching out for longer passages with complete confidence and comfort. Its generous social zones and top‑tier amenities transform it into a natural stage for entertaining family, friends, or corporate guests, with seamless flow between salon, decks, and flybridge. When serenity calls, the tranquil, design‑forward ambiance invites effortless relaxation, elevating every quiet morning at anchor and every golden‑hour return to port.

General construction details

Crafted as a one‑piece molded hull and deck using vinylester resin with vacuum infusion, high‑density fiberglass mat and roving, and marine‑grade structural foam, the structure delivers robust temperature resistance with excellent thermal and acoustic insulation; a reinforced forward collision bulkhead further elevates safety. All exterior surfaces are finished in professional‑grade Alexseal polyurethane paint over epoxy‑based primers, while 2‑inch elliptical 316L stainless‑steel handrails and stanchions provide a surer grip and greater safety underway. Weathertight bulkheads add another layer of sound and temperature isolation, longitudinal marine‑grade aluminum beams increase rigidity, and bronze through‑hull fittings are specified for lasting reliability. A comprehensive bonding and grounding system uses copper straps secured to the hull and running the full length of the vessel, with all machinery and systems equipment connected to this strap. Interior spaces by Evan K. Marshall feature stained wood paneling and cabinetry, matching woods and designer fabrics, European door hardware and stainless fittings, satin varnish on all interior woods, positive latches on cabinetry, washable fabric‑covered walls, and oversized hanging lockers in guest quarters, complemented by a Miele washer/dryer combo and air extraction in all head compartments. The flybridge benefits from a hardtop, and all windows are fixed with flush installation; an electric stainless‑steel sliding salon door features a safety light curtain that senses obstructions plus a foot‑kick button for hands‑free operation. With the Ocean Alexander “cab‑fwd” design moving the flybridge helm forward, this yacht offers the largest flybridge area in its class for superior visibility and expanded entertaining space. Nonskid decking runs throughout, with varnished teak tables and seating on the aft deck, bow area, and two flybridge zones, while boarding side‑deck doors to port and starboard ease access alongside.

Accommodations

The salon showcases Evan K. Marshall’s custom furniture and sofas with concealed drawers that maximize space and storage, set against rich walnut paneling and cabinetry; enlarged, custom‑engineered windows create an industry‑leading expanse of glass for uninterrupted views, while a drop‑down TV disappears elegantly when not in use. The primary cabin centers on a king berth with upholstered headboard, flanked by double nightstands, and offers a port‑side chaise lounge with vanity/computer desk; a pair of large private heads feature stall showers with Grohe fixtures, and a safe resides within a cedar‑lined walk‑in hanging locker. Enlarged hull‑side windows with opening portlights promote cross‑ventilation, and the Planus toilet system underscores premium fit‑out. The VIP cabin presents a centerline island queen berth with storage in drawers and a hanging locker, and an en‑suite head with stall shower and Grohe fixtures. To starboard, the guest cabin’s twin berths can slide together for flexible sleeping, with direct access to the en‑suite/day head also specified with Grohe fixtures. To port, a guest cabin with stacked berths provides a locker and drawers, and the passageway laundry houses a Miele stacked washer and dryer. The crew cabin is thoughtfully separate, with a single berth, toilet, and shower for privacy and seamless service.

Mechanical & ships systems

Twin Volvo IPS 1200 main engines, each rated at 950 hp, are installed in the main engine room with jack shafts to the IPS pods to optimize overall balance and reduce bow rise at planing speeds; total engine time is approximately 990 hours. Electronic engine controls are fitted at both the pilothouse and flybridge, with joystick maneuvering at the pilothouse, flybridge, and to starboard on the aft deck for precise docking. Ship’s power is supported by two Kohler 23 kW generators (approximately 610 and 565 hours) with Centek‑style underwater quiet exhausts and custom mounts using resilient isolators and vibration dampers. Ground tackle and mooring are equally robust: an RC12 24 VDC electric windlass, an 88 lb stainless‑steel anchor with 300 feet of chain rode, a chain counter at the helm, and a complete mooring package with lines, fenders, boat hook, and accessories. Volvo Penta Interceptor Electronic Vessel Control with Auto Trim Assist delivers fully automatic ride control; stainless‑steel safety rails guard the engine room, which is protected by an automatic fire‑extinguishing system. An adjustable Delta‑T fan control system manages engine room intake and exhaust with a de‑mister to eliminate moisture and keep the space dry, while pantograph windshield wipers and washers with intermittent function and a Kahlenberg HD air horn enhance all‑weather operability. On the flybridge, two Stidd helm chairs include joystick and Garmin controls in the armrest of the main chair; at the lower helm, a Stidd chair likewise integrates joystick and Garmin controls in the armrests. A pantograph door connects the pilothouse to the port side deck, and a hydraulic swim step rated to 1500 lb makes launching and retrieving a dinghy effortless.

Galley

Centrally positioned and conceived as a visual focal point of the main deck, the galley is large, beautifully lit, and brilliantly practical, with an island and bar stools, expansive countertops, and effortless access to generous storage and premium appliances. All drawers and cabinets are crafted in solid wood with fully dovetailed joinery; a Franke stainless‑steel sink with Grohe fixture anchors the working area. Refrigeration is abundant with a Fisher‑Paykel upright refrigerator plus additional Jenn‑Air stacked refrigerator/freezer drawers, complemented by a 30‑inch Jenn‑Air microwave, a 30‑inch Jenn‑Air induction cooktop, a 30‑inch Jenn‑Air convection oven, a 30‑inch Bosch dishwasher, a 15‑inch Jenn‑Air trash compactor, and a Whirlpool garbage disposal. Thoughtful, dedicated spaces organize designed flatware, dinnerware, glassware, and cookware so everything has its elegant place.

Navigation & electrical systems

The helm suites are anchored by a Garmin 8600 Series black‑box system with two 24‑inch displays at the lower helm and two 24‑inch displays at the flybridge helm, complemented by Garmin GRID remotes mounted on the arms of the Stidd helm chairs at both stations. Navigation and awareness are enhanced by a Garmin 12 kW open‑array radar antenna, Garmin GHP Reactor autopilot, Garmin card reader, Garmin VHF radios at both the pilothouse and flybridge, Garmin AIS with NMEA GPS, a Garmin sonar module with transducer, and Garmin marine cameras—two in the engine room and one on the after deck. Entertainment at sea is amplified by a KVH TracVision HD7 antenna with DirecTV receivers, while a five‑inch Ritchie compass preserves traditional reliability. The Optoplex NMEA 2000 networked electric‑breaker system centralizes AC/DC distribution with a control screen for breakers and ship’s functions, tankage gauges, and generator/shore‑power switching. Shipwide 120 VAC outlets and AGM batteries—rated for −15°C to 40°C operation with a low 3% per‑month self‑discharge—are paired with battery paralleling between service and engines, a service battery switch, and engine battery isolation and paralleling. GFCI protection is fitted in all potential wet areas, and the entire vessel is safeguarded via ELCI Optoplex breakers. Shore power comes to the transom via receptacles feeding two 80‑foot 50/240 VAC cords on Glenndenning Cablemaster winders with Iso‑Boost transformers. Charging is comprehensive with a 60‑amp house charger, 30‑amp engine charger, 30‑amp bow‑thruster charger, and an inverter‑system charger, while 24 VDC LED lighting illuminates the yacht throughout. Climate control is entrusted to Dometic systems sized for extreme tropical conditions with reverse‑cycle heat capable of operating in water temperatures down to 40 degrees; the refrigerant is compliant worldwide under the Montreal Protocols.

Plumbing

The freshwater system centers on a stainless‑steel water tank, with quick‑connect freshwater washdown spigots at the foredeck and stern, a dockside water connection, and a 28‑gallon high‑efficiency water heater wrapped in high‑density fiberglass insulation. For bilge and discharge, there are 24 VDC shower sump pumps, automatic bilge pumps with high‑water alarms, illuminated bilges, a dedicated bilge ventilation system, and a common drainage manifold serving bar sinks, showers, bilges, and exterior decks. Fuel is carried in an aluminum tank with sight gauges and both high‑ and low‑fuel alarms; fillers are located on both sides of the yacht for easy fueling from either side without rerouting hoses, and a fuel‑cleaning system safeguards engine health.

Vessel's shipbuilder options

This yacht is elevated by a curated suite of shipyard options: a walnut interior wood selection paired with a dark stone package and Cambria flooring in the heads, and sliding starboard guest berths that convert the cabin from two singles to a single queen. A Seagull water purifier serves the galley and ice makers, while the primary en‑suite gains heated flooring. Hydraulic zero‑speed stabilization joins a second Kohler 23 kW generator and an electric bow thruster for superior comfort and control. The audiovisual experience is enhanced by Fusion systems, onboard intranet via a commercial‑grade Wi‑Fi router with 4G SIM capability, and Garmin monitors upgraded from 17 inches to 24 inches, supported by an inverter package. Ground tackle and utilities are refined with a 300‑foot anchor chain rode and dockside water filtration to eliminate tastes and odors. Long‑range autonomy comes from a Sea Recovery 450 GPD watermaker. Exterior refinements include teak decking on the after deck, main side decks, transom step, and hydraulic swim step; flybridge rear lounge seating with a hi‑low table that converts to a sun pad; a manual flybridge awning with custom stainless‑steel poles and marine‑grade mesh fabric with dedicated pole storage; and a matching manual bow awning with the same premium execution. Entertaining is effortless with a custom aft‑deck cabinet topped in stone and fitted with a sink and beverage cooler/ice maker, high‑output underwater LED lights, a custom flip‑down TV on the flybridge, and a flybridge port‑side cabinet with beverage cooler and ice maker. A complete weather‑cover package protects all exterior seats and tables, and the flybridge wet bar is finished with two bar stools and a 24‑inch Electric Chef BBQ. Rounding out the package is a 2018 14‑foot Walker Bay RIB with a 50 hp Yamaha outboard.
