Ocean Alexander 100 Skylounge Video Review: An Oval Office at the Bow
By the YachtWay editorial deskUpdated October 2026Video walkthrough7 min read
The Ocean Alexander 100 Skylounge is a 100 ft tri-level motor yacht. We walked a 2017 boat with MTU engines still under warranty. She has an aft deck with a wet bar and hidden TV, a salon and dining for seven, a skylounge with the helm and a day head, an upper deck with a bar, a grill and a tender, an oval lounge at the bow, a full-beam owner's suite and three guest cabins.
Storage, comfort and a lot of places to sit
The 100 Skylounge is full of storage, from consoles in the salon to cabinets above the galley bar. There is somewhere to relax on every deck: a U-shaped dining area aft, a C-shaped sofa in the salon, an L-shaped lounge in the skylounge and an oval lounge at the bow we would call an Oval Office on the water. Hidden TVs drop from the ceiling in the main living areas.
