1993 Ocean Alexander 440

Step aboard and you immediately notice how quiet and solid she feels underfoot, even at the dock. Wide side decks with secure railings make line handling and anchoring feel relaxed instead of risky, and the molded steps between levels beat ladders any day. Inside, the 440’s two-stateroom, two-head layout gives genuine privacy for guests, with real doors and generous storage instead of token cubbies. Large salon windows flood the interior with natural light, while the galley’s practical U-shape means you can actually cook underway. Engine-room access is civilized, not contortionist—perfect for owners who like to lay eyes on their gear. She’s the kind of boat that invites long weekends to quietly stretch into weeks.

The Ocean Alexander 440 shines in these waters, where conditions can swing from calm afternoon hops to lumpy, wind-against-tide passages. Her Ed Monk Jr. hull rewards you with a soft, predictable ride and reassuring tracking when the forecast gets “interesting.” The raised aft deck and flybridge offer superb visibility for navigating tight fairways, while still keeping you sheltered when the weather turns cool and damp. Generous tankage and efficient cruise speeds make longer coastal runs practical, not aspirational. With two real staterooms and comfortable common areas, she works equally well as a traveling couple’s boat or a floating retreat for visiting family, perfectly suited to this region’s mix of weekend exploring and extended seasonal cruising.
