Looking for a fuel-efficient coastal cruising trawler that can head straight to the Bahamas or do the Great Loop? Lightning is a 2007 Ocean Alexander 50 Classicco powered by a 300 HP John Deere 6068 enjoying a smooth ride underway courtesy of her Key Power active fins stabilizers.  She is very well equipped and has had an active and continually improved life.  Her impressive equipment includes 12” touchscreen chart plotter displays in both helm stations for easy navigation planning, bow and stern thrusters to simplify docking, an Onan generator to keep you charged and Cruisair air conditioning to keep you climate happy running north or south through the latitudes.

Ocean Alexander has been building top quality power yachts for decades. Better known for their motor yachts, those in the know are familiar with their strong entrance to the trawler market with their popular Classicco series.  The 50 Classicco is an excellent coastal cruiser featuring two staterooms and two heads configured with a raised pilothouse with flybridge atop.  She was designed and built for an owner operator couple who want to explore new shores.

Lightning’s interior layout is pleasing with teak furnishings.  This is a classic trawler arrangement with saloon and galley merged, then up through the pilothouse and down forward to the staterooms.  The owner stateroom is midship below the pilothouse and has an ensuite head and shower. The second stateroom is forward with single berths outboard and the separate head with shower at the base of the stairs is convenient for crew, making it easier to invite guests. You will find storage for belongings and provisions throughout.

Like many well thought out trawlers, the outside spaces were also a priority. Forward of the helm is a protected Portuguese bridge leading to the foredeck. Above the saloon is a large boat deck for the tender that connects forward to the flybridge and aft is the swim platform and cockpit.

The swim platform makes it easy to step in or out of your tender and convenient for swimming off the back of the boat.
