Oceania Yachts 36 Sedan Sedan Trawler
From 1980
The Ocean Alexander 36 Sedan is an early Taiwan-built flybridge sedan cruiser associated with Alexander Marine's better-finished motoryacht tradition. The recorded layout emphasizes teak interior joinery, twin-diesel shaft propulsion and coastal cruising, but early small-model documentation is less complete than for later Ocean Alexander ranges.

Best for
- Buyers seeking a traditional Northwest-style twin-diesel sedan
- Coastal cruising couples wanting lower and upper helm positions
- Owners willing to verify an uncommon early model carefully
Trade-offs
- Early-model documentation and standard specifications are incomplete
- Twin machinery and aging systems increase maintenance burden
- Individual boats can differ materially after decades of refits
Known concerns
- No model-specific concern has been promoted to B-Atlas’s evidence threshold. This does not mean the model has no age-, condition- or hull-specific risks.
Inspection focus
- Confirm exact model, year and builder plate before relying on marketplace naming
- Inspect decks, windows, flybridge and rail penetrations for moisture
- Inspect tanks, wiring, plumbing, generator and HVAC installations
- Inspect twin diesels, exhaust, cooling, shafts and steering
- Verify hull-specific air draft, displacement and tankage

About this record
B-Atlas preserves uncertainty: missing information remains unknown rather than being treated as a negative. Specifications and guidance describe the model record; individual boats can differ by year, equipment, refit and condition.
