Tiara 4300 OpenPosted: July 1, 2012

Multipurpose cruiser does triple duty

By: Zuzana Prochazka

The new flagship of the Tiara Open Series, the 4300 Open, highlights thecompany’s strength of delivering multipurpose boats that can fish, cruiseand entertain in style. The new model replaces the 4200 Open and offers alarger cockpit, a foot of extra length overall, 5 more inches on the beam anda new guest cabin — all of which adds up to a surprisingly bigger-feelingvessel with new lines and enhanced functionality.

The profile of the Tiara 4300 Open has changed. Gone is the tumblehomeof the transom. It’s been replaced by squared-off corners that accentuatethe sportfisher look. The straight sheer and swept-back, curved compositewindshield give the Tiara 4300 a get-up-’n-go look. The sharp entry andgenerous bow flare make for a controlled and dry ride, and the 17.5-degreedeadrise at the transom keeps it tracking. The sleek lines belie the premiumsportfisher it is, and the posh interior ensures comfort on the hook in anycruising anchorage.

On BoardLike a sportfisher, the 4300 Open features upper and lower cockpits. Unlikea hard-core sportfisher, the Tiara also has a stylish sportboat-like helm areacomplete with a lounge and a wet bar on the bridge level.

The 98-square-foot upper cockpit has an aft-facing mezzanine seat thatprovides spectators a comfortable place from which to watch the fishingaction while staying out of the way of the mayhem. Just ahead on port is acurved companion lounge with a forward or side-facing swiveling seat andan optional table. Directly across on starboard is the wet bar, which isimmediately aft of the oversized Stidd helm seat. Here you’ll find a sink anddrawer storage or an optional ice-maker. The helm layout is clean, andeverything, from the dual multifunction displays to the shifters and joystick,is within easy reach. A nice added bonus is the opening ports built into thehardtop that cool the helmsman without the need for fans.

The lower cockpit now features 95 square feet of fighting area (compared tothe 4200’s 87 feet), a 50-gallon livewell built into the transom and analuminum backing plate beneath the sole for a chair installation. But since75 percent of Tiara’s potential buyers are expected to be fair-weatherfishermen, there are options to remove the livewell and install a seat oreven build an L-shaped seating area on port with a dining table attached tothe cockpit sole.The newly squared-off corners and vertical transom create extra room as

well as give the boat more of a sportfisher profile. A 30-inch (or optional 42-inch) swim platform and a through-transom door make for easy boarding.All hardware, such as hinges and latches, is either hidden or recessed, sofishing lines have nothing to catch on, and there’s a rigging station with asink and cutting board on starboard.

Our test boat has pod drives, and access to them is under the cockpit sole.The engines, on the other hand, are far forward under the upper cockpit,which makes for an unusually long run but does allow for the optionalinstallation of pod-drive technology, which makes maneuvering a boat easyand fun. Engine access for quick fluid checks is via a hatch, but for moreinvolved engine work, the entire bridge lifts electrically, exposing an engineroom with great access to both diesels as well as the Onan genset, whichcomes standard.

Two molded steps on either side of the lower cockpit lead up to the decklevel where good handholds are provided by the hardtop, which has askylight and side enclosures for cruising and includes rod holders and LED lighting for fishing. A thigh-high railing provides safehandholds as you move up to the bow where a flush, opening anchor locker gives access to the rode and a disconnecting washdown !-spigot. An optional sunpad can be added to the ample foredeck.

Creature ComfortsThe 4300 Open is a two-cabin, one-head boat, which is perfect for couples with occasional guests or kids. If you really want to packthem in for a weekend, the boat will sleep six cozy adults and maybe one child on the salon settee backrest that swings up to create asmall Pullman berth.

Four steps down from the upper cockpit, you enter a sumptuous teak interior with the same clean lines and an eye toward functionality,just like the boat’s exterior. On starboard is a U-shaped galley with acres of Corian countertop space, a two-burner electric cooktop anda microwave/convection oven. Our test boat also has dual Vitrifrigo refrigeration drawers with two freezer drawers, for a total of fourdrawers of cooling space that would keep many days’ worth of food for a cruising couple.

Across from the galley is a convertible U-shaped dinette that faces a 32-inch flat-screen TV built into a short cabinet near the stove. Themaster stateroom is forward and has an island queen berth and plenty of storage in solid teak cabinets and drawers below the bed.There’s even a nifty rod-storage compartment above the drawers but beneath the mattress; it lifts on gas shocks. From here, there is aprivate entrance into the head, which has a separate shower behind a clear enclosure, a tiled sole and a designer vanity.

Across from the head is the guest cabin with over/under bunks and lockers for additional storage. This cabin didn’t exist on the 4200and opens up options to cruising with more people who can still enjoy their privacy. The foredeck “skylight” is really three hatches thatprovide good light and ventilation, and there are no hull portholes, although you can request that a few be added. The joinerythroughout is excellent, and the overall effect is elegant.

Under WayOur test boat is equipped with twin 600 hp Cummins QSC diesels with Zeus pod drives. The vectored thrust of pods is more efficient,and higher speeds may be reached with less horsepower and, therefore, less fuel. The engines run cleaner and emit less noise, soeven though they’re housed under the helm area, the boat was noticeably quiet even at 30 knots.

The boat popped up on plane quickly despite its 30,000-pound displacement, and even height-challenged skippers like me won’t havetheir view from the helm obscured. In fact, visibility from the helm is excellent in all directions, and that includes the two aft corners,which is handy whether docking or backing down on a fish.

At a cruising speed of 25 knots at 2400 rpm, the Tiara burned 36.4 gph. If you can tolerate traveling at a sweet spot of 12 knots at 1600rpm, the burn rate drops to 15.2 gph and the range increases to well over 400 miles, so distant fishing grounds suddenly become areality, and you won’t need to visit the pump nearly as often. I noticed how much better our performance numbers were than modelstested with the standard 715 hp diesels with straight shafts. That’s a real argument for the option of smaller engines and pods with thebonus of the dynamic positioning feature called Skyhook. Pod technology adds about $40,000 to the base price, but the control yougain is priceless.

At wide-open throttle, we reached nearly 35 knots, which is more than enough speed to feel your stomach push back toward your spineand leave you thinking about how much you’re confusing the sea life around you.

Our test Tiara 4300 is priced at $1.15 million, which includes the cruising hardtop, electronics, Ultraleather upholstery and the aftmezzanine lounge. The model is a well-built, premium cruiser that is perfect for extended fishing outings as well as comfortable familycruising. Today’s convergence of sportfishers and cruisers means that most of these boats try to do double duty. But the Tiara standsout in that it has a third trick up its sleeve. You will rarely find a cruising sportfisher that is also a head-turning cocktail boat perfect forafternoon sundowners. The truth is the Tiara 4300 is well laid out and perfectly sized for group entertaining and is so easy on the eyesthat it’s not like you’re taking your battlewagon out for a spin. In effect, it’s like getting three boats in one.

Story By Bob Arrington

s longtime readers of PMM, my wife and I have most enjoyed stories of real people building real boats to live the cruising lifestyle.

The story of James and Jennifer Hamilton building their globe-crossing Nordhavn 52 gave us the idea to share our building of a trawler for a different style of cruising with PMM.

Many PMM readers are world travelers, logging thousands of transoceanic miles, but many will never cross an ocean. Instead, they will enjoy a life of “coastal cruising,” visiting scenic bays and seaside villages. My wife Dori and I are in that latter group of coastal cruisers. From our home in Baltimore, we have enjoyed cruising the Chesapeake Bay for the last 10 years and even stretched the limits of a Silverton 39 motoryacht as far north as Newport, Rhode Island and as far south as Key West. When it was time for us to finally trade up to a new coastal cruiser, our Silverton had given us eight years and over 8,000nm of memories. These travels proved to us that we wanted to explore more distant horizons. With careers slowing down, we’ve spent the past five years carefully identifying the exact features we wanted in a boat for our style of coastal cruising.

Keeping true to Mars and Venus, I started out by deciding the most appropriate hull form and type of power, while Dori developed her list of important liveaboard features. With planned voyages through the Great Lakes, Canadian Maritimes, and Caribbean, I struggled with the proper hull design for this type of cruising. While I believed a full-displacement hull offered clear sea-keeping advantages, I also recognized many semi-displacement boats with proven voyaging records. The fuel economy that comes with a displacement trawler was certainly a benefit, but a semi-displacement hull powered properly could offer economical operation as well. Knowing our plans contained very few multiple-day open-ocean passages, we finally decided many of the well-built semi-displacement trawlers could be included in our search.

Categorizing and reviewing all of the mid-50-foot boats in this class resulted in the building of Liberdade, a new Ed Monk Jr.-designed Ocean Alexander 54 Trawler. Ocean Alexander does not bill this boat as transoceanic, but Ed Monk Jr. certainly knows how to design a seaworthy boat, capable of protecting its crew in a variety of conditions. An Ed Monk Jr. design, coupled with Ocean Alexander’s reputation for strength and quality, weighed heavily in our selection.

In choosing this boat, we were very aware of the overly used saying that “Every boat is a compromise.” The Ocean Alexander 54 trawler contained the least number of those compromises and more of the features we identified as important than any other model we considered. Many features in a boat are subjective—appealing to personal opinion or taste—such as whether the hull is more classic with a lap strake look, or more contemporary with a clean smooth finish. Some features can be argued as more objective as in the location of the master, being mid-ship or forward. Outside of the subjective categories, we identified a list of features we felt were advantageous to safe cruising and were an important part of our selection criteria. A few of those features are worthy of mention here: Two secure forward-facing seats for both helmsman and watch. As a cruising

couple, we feel the watchstander is as critical to safe cruising as the helmsman, and many boats we considered did not offer a second secure helm seat with equal visibility.

Keeping watch while sitting sideways at a pilothouse dinette did not meet our criteria. When the seas get lumpy, we want to be firmly planted with good visibility of the conditions outside and the helm information inside. Another feature we felt was important was interior access to a large well-lit engine room—I believe this invites more thorough and frequent maintenance, which can only translate into more trouble-free cruising. The interior access was critical for us. If an emergency takes me into the engine room in any kind of sea, it is best from the security of the boat’s interior.

With Liberdade’s hull commissioned, the next task was selecting power, support equipment, electronics, and accessories. This proved to be no easy task, but the dealer and manufacturer worked with us as we made many first-time selections for what is a relatively new boat model. Liberdade is hull number 5.

THE MECHANICSEarly in the process we determined

a 7–8 knot cruise speed would suit our needs, with a moderate turn off speed above that to 10–11 knots. We decided on this top speed with our cruises through the Saint Lawrence Seaway in mind, where 4 to 5 knot currents are not uncommon. This resulted in pairing twin John Deere 6068 AFM 265hp M2 engines for the first time in this hull. The standard twin-engine configuration for Ocean Alexander in this boat has been 455hp Caterpillar C7s or a larger C9 single. The choice between single or double engines was not easy—I have respect for both options. Deciding on doubles does not mean I believe it to be a better choice, it’s just what I’ve known for many years, so I decided to stay with it. The John Deeres meant new mounting hardware, new transmission ratios and new prop sizes; however, it was all worked out to provide Liberdade with the power for a very frugal 8-knot cruise while burning a total of 4-1/2gph.

Feeding these engines clean, cool fuel was an important part of the design process as well. To accomplish

this, Liberdade has three fuel tanks, two 675-gallon saddle and one 400-gallon center bilge tank. Fuel can be fed to the engines through an efficient fuel manifold system as well as independently through an onboard Gulf Coast fuel polishing system. This assures clean, cool (from outside the heat of the engine room) fuel is always delivered to the engines. We considered the 1,750-gallon fuel capacity to be a great advantage. Many other boats in this category had as little as 800 gallons while most carried around 1000. Besides the increased range the additional fuel provides, it also allows for better planning by giving us the option of purchasing fuel where it is the most economical, not just where we happen to run out.

An important feature in this boat’s engine room was Ocean Alexander’s use of high-volume, variable speed Delta “T” engine room fans. I’ve learned with previous diesels that evacuating excess heat from the engine room immediately after shutdown can dramatically extend engine life.

Another first in this boat was in the hydraulic systems. Ocean Alexander installed for us an integrated hydraulic system by ABT TRAC. This included the latest technology in active fin stabilizers with dual cylinder controls on each fin and variable proportional thrusters. ABT also worked with us to custom design larger fins than Ocean Alexander typically uses on this boat. This was to maximize stabilizing effect at our planned cruising speeds. An equally important component of the hydraulic system was installing oversize power take-off pumps (PTOs) on each engine, which supply hydraulic power. Many hydraulic systems PTOs do not provide sufficient power for continuous use of thrusters at engine idle speeds. This results in limited thruster power when it could be needed most or having to increase engine rpm when you least want to. Many of the boats we short-listed offered only electric thrusters. These are fine for short use in a few knot wind on the beam, but if these thrusters are continuously used in a few knot current on the beam, most electric motors won’t be able to handle it.

While coastal cruising implies being relatively close to a shoreline, it does not mean you are close to services or

A well-lit and organized engine room with all !lters and strainers easily accessible, make engine room checks and maintenance an easy chore.

assistance. Liberdade’s cruising plans will take us to remote shorelines of the Canadian Maritimes as well as the Caribbean and Central America. Consequently redundancy was paramount in the equipment selection process. We asked Ocean Alexander to install a second generator for the first time in this model, so there is a 15.5kW and a 9kW. Besides the backup benefit, the second smaller generator allows for light load use like battery charging or overnight air conditioning while being more properly loaded. Having only one large generator sized to run all the boat’s A/C electrical needs would mean running it underloaded during much of its use.

Many modern electronic devices are sensitive to the sine wave output of A/C generating equipment. Most boats’ A/C generating equipment, including inverters, are meant to power items with little concern for proper sine wave oscillation. However laptops, modern microwave ovens, and micro processer controlled battery chargers are just a few of the items that have a greater need for a pure sine wave output. Additionally, many battery-charging times are significantly reduced with a pure sine wave output. With this in mind, Liberdade has a Victron Quattro 24 volt 5,000-watt pure sine wave inverter—also installed in this boat for the first time. Wanting to minimize generator use, we also tried to calculate our daily amp hour usage; we then sized the house battery bank to support that load for the maximum time between recharges. The hard top on this boat also lends itself perfectly to the future installation of a few solar panels to supplement the charging system. Ocean Alexander also designed space for spare props and shafts in the lazarette for the same sense of

self-sufficiency.A double anchor setup was installed

with each anchor carrying 300 feet of 3/8-inch HT chain—one is a 60-lb. hinged plow and the other a 121-lb Rocna. Bottom conditions can vary from day to day while cruising and the ability to accommodate those varying conditions easily was important. The importance of a spare anchor and rode are obvious, but it’s equally important to

be able to deploy the spare quickly. Too many boaters could be on the rocks before they could get the spare anchor from the lazarette and have it set.

In the navigation electronics we also wanted redundancy. This was for two reasons—the first was to guard against equipment failure, and the second was to take advantage of Dori’s active role in the navigation and watch department. We configured not only four independently operating GPS systems and two radars, but also independent displays, so Dori can

monitor radar and AIS information from her helm position as well. Two ICOM power mics connected to two ICOM 504s also gives us the option to fully monitor dual VHF frequencies at either helm station.

THE LIVING SPACESKnowing we would be living aboard

for extended periods of time, the boat’s living spaces also received a lot of attention. The utility room on this particular boat model was very appealing to us. With its space for a full-size washer and dryer, utility sink, numerous hanging lockers, as well as a spare freezer, this space made for easier long-term living.

Being able to easily maintain and repair systems on the boat is essential to independent cruising. Another appeal of the utility room design on this boat was the space for a workbench with vice and good tool storage just outside the engine room.

You cannot have too much storage space on a liveaboard boat, so we appreciated the easy access Ocean Alexander gave to the space beneath the master berth. While not standard, they willingly provided us with the same thoughtful design in the guest

Top: A thoughtfully laid out mid-ship master stateroom with a logically oriented fore and aft queen berth and plenty of storage. Bottom: A bright open saloon decorated for liveaboard comfort, with all decor secured in place and tested so far in 8’ seas.

cabin upon our request.Floor plan layout and bulkhead

locations were also an important feature in other ways. We learned from previous cruising experiences the importance of a pilothouse isolated from the rest of the living spaces. When underway in low light conditions, it is nice to be able to use the galley and saloon lighting without interfering with the helmsman’s vision. Another important feature in the pilothouse was adequate storage for charts and a proper chart table. While

Ocean Alexander designed a spacious chart table in this model, they padded the top surface, which limited its use for writing and eliminated dividers. We requested a hard top surface to be of more practical use. I appreciate modern electronics, but I began boating before them and still take comfort in paper charts. Many of the vessels we considered had little or no space to open even a cruising guide at the helm, much less a chart.

Ocean Alexander continued to accommodate our personal needs for

this boat by hinging the radar pod, and giving the boat a maximum bridge clearance of 19 feet and 6 inches—just enough for us to clear a few 20-foot fixed bridges on the Erie Canal and Oswego Canal that will take us into Lake Ontario.

OUR FREEDOMLiberdade translates to “freedom” in

Portuguese, because this boat represents our freedom to live a different life, while Portuguese is in tribute to Sophie and Bailey, our trusty Portuguese water dog companions. Our plan is to spend the last few years of our careers fine-tuning Liberdade’s systems while cruising the Mid-Atlantic between our Maryland and North Carolina homes. Once all the systems are debugged, our cruising plans will take us around the Downeast Circle Route through the Saint Lawrence Seaway, including a stop at the beautiful but infrequently visited Magdalen Islands in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence.

This itinerary also takes us back to the little town of Baddeck on Bras d’Or Lake in Nova Scotia, where years ago Dori agreed to join me on a life of adventure. Years later, that adventure is continuing as we set off to see new sunsets and new shorelines. We look forward to sharing those with you in future installments of “Adventures of a Coastal Cruiser.”

The heart of our boat is the pilothouse, with all the features for safe and comfortable cruising.

The name Ocean Alexander has been a familiar one in U.S. West Coast yachting circles for three decades, during which time parent company Alexander Marine has regularly added new models to its popular line while expanding its customer base nationwide. Until recently, the brand comprised 10 models, all built at the compa-ny’s facilities in Asia. Now, with the introduction of its new 120-foot motor yacht—the !rst design in what Ocean Alexander is calling its Megayacht series—the company’s longstanding business model has been radically altered.

According to Richard Allender, Ocean Alexander’s director of U.S. operations, the concept for a new series of large boats had been in the works for quite some time.

“Five years ago or thereabouts, we were building mostly sixty-foot boats,” he explains. “We had a 74, and we’d done an 80 and a 100, but really, the most was 64, 74 and 78, and those boats were well

below XXXX

happen is going to happen, there’s going to be a lot of fallout, and this industry is not at all prepared for any kind of big downturn. So, I started planning around that, and it was a very unpopular plan.”

Among Allender’s concerns was a strong belief that due to the slowing of the economy and other factors, among them lack of consol-idation and the inability to market themselves and their products properly, many small boatbuilding companies were going to fail.

“So, I went back to Johnny and told him I really felt we should approach the whole problem by trying to come up with some sort of an agreement with another manufacturer that was already build-ing large yachts. He was not high on [that] at all.

“Boatbuilders are big on secrets,” he says with a chuckle. “They

established, tried and true.“Johnny [company owner John Chueh] was talking a 115 or some-

thing like that, but I felt that trying to go to a much bigger boat at the time was a very large step for a lot of reasons.”

Allender, who came to the marine industry after enjoying a successful career in the apparel trade, had grave concerns about the future of yachtbuilding.

“I looked around the industry,” he recalls, “and went up to what I used to call a ‘hundred-thousand-foot viewpoint.’ Even though life was good at the time, I felt the economy was in trouble, and I felt that if the economy was in trouble, the yacht industry would be in even bigger trouble. And so I thought, if what I think is going to

this page Evan Marshall’s styling and décor give the 120 a modern, sophisticated look that, when paired with Christensen’s high-quality joinery, elevates the yacht to a level not previ-ously seen aboard Ocean Alexanders. Small details in the arrangement create interest, such as the offset dining salon, which also aids in traffic flow.

to Europe and who has made part of that whole experience what [we] o!er in terms of being aware of American and European tastes.

“They liked the idea that I could help them create a look that would have some success in Europe, but, at the same time, would still be very much geared toward their core market, which still to this day is West Coast American buyers. So that was kind of the initial brief. Nothing speci"c in terms of a particular look they wanted.”

Although Ocean Alexander had facilities of its own, Allender felt strongly that collaborating with another company was a better long-term solution. To that end, several builders were considered. In the end, thanks to the e!orts of Je! Ferguson, Ocean Alexander’s project manager for the new line, a deal was struck with Vancouver, Wash-ington-based Christensen Shipyards, whose reputation as a builder of high-quality composite motor yachts was well established and whose location in the Paci"c Northwest meshed seamlessly with Ocean Alexander’s presence in Seattle.

Marshall explains that the new line’s identity has been developed to embrace a more contemporary, European style than previous Ocean Alexander models. The 120’s sheer is raised to follow the bulwark line of the bridge deck, a design feature emblematic of much larger vessels and one that allows the boat to o!er a full-beam master suite on the main deck with a full-beam en suite. Window lines are also more contemporary, with large expanses of glazing in the main and bridge deck superstructure and a series of vertically oriented rectangular portlights in the hull. The resulting look, with its

don’t want to share anything. But I said, ‘Well, as far as I can tell, there aren’t any secrets in boatbuilding. It’s not computer chips, okay? It’s not high fashion. And only a couple of [builders] use outside designers. So, I don’t see it.’ He didn’t agree, and so I quietly went about my own little analysis.”

Allender began the search for a designer who would take the company to the new level at which he and Chueh had set their sights.

The new line’s identity embraces a more contemporary, European style than previous Ocean Alexander models.

He met London-based designer Evan K. Marshall at the Monaco Yacht Show to discuss the concept for the new line. At that meeting, says Marshall, he was told that a decision had been made to modern-ize the look of their boats, and, as a key component of that program, they had also decided to move into building larger motor yachts.

“I think one of the reasons they hired my company,” Marshall says, “is that they [liked] my background as an American who had moved

horizontal, somewhat automotive detailing is sleek and handsome.Marshall points out that certain design features are “geared

towards creating a style of boat that would have a broad interna-tional appeal,” adding, “the garage was a feature that we said we de!nitely want to incorporate if we want the boat to have any success in Europe. There’s a niche cut out of the engine room just forward so the garage can hold the largest possible tender.

“And even though we have an on-deck master stateroom, we still have a really large galley, which has a large country kitchen dinette with two big vertical windows. This allows us to address what some buyers, who are coming up from raised pilothouse boats, have gotten so comfortable with. We’ve been able to replicate that. It’s a feature that I’m really happy about.”

In terms of piping, electrical and other ship’s systems, the Ocean Alexander 120 is out!tted to the same level as her much larger Chris-tensen sisters and has been designed to provide a similar operating pro!le. Due to the 120’s shorter waterline, the numbers aren’t quite as high as those associated with Christensen’s larger boats, but they are nonetheless impressive. This is especially true when one consid-ers the fact that the 120 is !tted with MTU 12V 2000 engines that are de-rated to a bit more than 1,900 horsepower, o"ering custom-

you’ve just got to go with it and continue on. It’s been a very good relationship and [has strengthened] the buying power between the two companies. We’ve been able to really work with all our vendors, even work [together on marketing].”

“Of course, like anything, there have been challenges,” says Allen-der. “But, in retrospect, it’s been remarkably smooth. I have to give credit to Joe Foggia for a lot of that. He’s been a marvelous guy…very, very willing to look at the whole process as a team, willing to look at [us] not just as a customer but as a partner and look at how we could do things di"erently. And that has turned out to be a godsend.

“The end result is what I think is a pretty fabulous product…and a unique one in our industry. I certainly don’t think anything like it has ever been done before.”

For its part, Ocean Alexander has three other tri-deck models on the drawing board for the Megayacht series, a 112-, a 135- and a 155-footer, all designed by Marshall. The hull mold at Christensen is adjustable and can be used to build the other models as the program moves forward. Foggia says that the 120’s current super-structure tooling will allow the builders to pull several parts.

“Then,” he predicts, “we can restyle it and update it three, four, !ve years down the way and do something di"erent.”

When asked about his outlook for the boat’s market, Foggia is upbeat and con!dent. “I have [a dozen] really good prospects who are sitting on the line waiting for [the boat] to perform,” he says. “Once they see that, it will sell.”

ers a 12,000-hour time between overhauls, double the service cycle associated with higher-rated con!gurations. Joe Foggia, Christensen’s president, explained that the operating parameters call for a long-range cruise speed of between 11 and 12 knots but noted that the continuous-duty rating allows the 120 to run at up to 16 knots around the clock with no time limit.

The joinery and !nishes throughout the boat are also of the same quality as one would !nd on Christensen’s large signature motor yachts, but Marshall’s interior design has a more crisp, contempo-rary spirit that is likely to have a broader appeal in a variety of o"shore markets.

“We’re really excited about the layout and the feel of the boat,” says Foggia. “A lot of people that I’ve had on board have had a hard time believing that it’s one hundred-twenty feet; they all think it’s quite a bit bigger. And Evan put a lot of time into styling the exterior. It looks really good and !ts well into our business model.”

Industry insiders have prophesized that the relationship would fail. Nothing, say the partners, could be farther from the truth.

“It’s de!nitely been a good alliance,” Foggia states without quali!-cation. “I think it’ll evolve into a continuation of building many, many, many boats for as long as all of us are here. Everybody’s got a lot invested, and everybody works really well [together]. It’s been a really good team—really good in the sense that they’re a builder and we’re a builder, so when you come across something that you didn’t antic-ipate, they understand that, and there’s not that distrust or kind of speculation that the traditional customer might have going into it.

“So, everybody understands that we’re building boats here, and

A TRIP TO DENT ISLAND

Four days in paradise...

August 17th -21st 2012

We began our exciting journey to Dent Island , which is just a short 14 hour trip from Anacortes , located along the northern coast between British Columbia’s mainland & Vancouver Island, amid a beautiful

Seattle summer day. Our vessel was the exquisite OCEANA, a 90 foot Ocean Alexander Luxury Motor Yacht.

Beautiful clear blue skies, & light winds allowed us an open water voyage through the Georgia Straights past Texada Island & Powell

River through a calm Channel and Stuart Island, to our destination at Dent Island. We had a remarkable evening in Poet’s Cove on Pender Island. After Customs check–in, it was a relaxing time for our group of seven, on the aft deck. We had dinner on board, a spirited game of

“Name That Tune” and a few night caps. With such spectacular company, how could an evening be any better?

Day Two took 11 hours to get from Poet’s Cove to Dent Island. What a blessing, calm winds allowed our straight course up the middle of the Straits of Georgia. Ships, tankers, ferries & tugs, all sorts and sizes of vessels churn

through the straits, every day. We began to head to the inside at Texada Island. Timber and mining appeared from one end of the Island to the other and then past the Port of Powell River. The last major dock and town location until our return. Once past Powell River the trip surpassed exceptional. Our waters turned into smooth glass, the tides roared with whirlpool action. Seals provided an eye appealing attraction while they hunted for salmon and enjoyed their catch. Local residences were out salmon fishing as the water conditions were magical, crystal clear and calm, glassy in fact. Cruising slowed as we wrestled with 9 knot tides, while seeking a slacked level to enter Dent Island marina. We

cruised through Calm Channel with the ease of a mother hugging her child. Ever so gently yet prodding the waters with the care & determination to arrive so the fun could be extended to the Dent Island staff & crew.

The 1st Evening at Dent Island, again we had dinner on board. With excellent cooks, great wine, enchanting friends... why go ashore? The next morning we had breakfast at the lodge. It was a

delicious way to begin the morning. A delicious menu led a few of us to enjoy Eggs Benedict with salmon, which I can personally recommend. At 1PM we

ventured onto the river boat for an afternoon cruising the inter-sound, checking out the seals, & jumping the river bar. It was so exciting just getting to our fishing

grounds. Yes fishing! It was an action packed afternoon spin casting for Pink Salmon. Light fishing rods & rubber squids fetched up to 30 fish for our outing. It

was catch & release of course, so the fun was hauling them in & setting them free. We were greeted by a Grizzly Bear that came rambling to the river to catch

his lunch. Thank goodness it was across the river & 300 feet down from our whereabouts. I’m sure had a feast given the quantities of fish available to him.

Dinner was at the lodge in the cabana near the water’s edge - Tapa’s style. What a wonderful romantic location for all nature lovers of every age. Our group made up most of the dinner party in the facility & we entertained some of the resident Canadians. We also met a very interesting couple from the Netherlands. After 5 courses, laughs, wine, & singing the Canadian National Anthem, the Chef & crew called it a night as it was their last dinner of the year at the

camp which was closing for the fall/winter season. I’m ending my story here. I suggest you check Dent Island out for yourself for an absolutely incredible and memorable

experience. You’ll be glad you did.
