The Ocean Alexander 38 is a traditional trawler-style cruiser from the mid-1980s built with solid fiberglass hull construction and an all-teak interior. The semi-displacement hull features a hard aft chines and shallow keel for directional stability. Two Perkins diesel engines producing 248 horsepower give the yacht an economical cruising speed of 8 knots.
Below decks, the layout includes a spacious forward galley within the salon, a lower helm station, and two private staterooms positioned fore and aft. The aft cabin features a centerline queen bed with direct cockpit access and a split head with shower stall to port and separate sink and toilet compartment to starboard. Teak joinery throughout the interior is carefully crafted, and the salon offers good storage alongside its port and starboard doors that lead to walkaround decks.
On deck, raised bulwarks protect the walkaround spaces, while the aft cabin roof provides substantial room for storage or lounging. The layout combines traditional trawler styling with solid, economical construction suited to extended cruising or anchored relaxation.
