Boathouse Auctions is pleased to announce that LIVE MAS, the 85′ Ocean Alexander yacht sold at auction, closed today after a successful auction in partnership with Superyacht Sales & Charter, with the buyer introduced by Bryan Long Yacht Sales. Last asking $4,599,000 USD, LIVE MAS sold through Boathouse Auctions’ transparent online auction platform, adding a late-model Ocean Alexander to Boathouse Auctions’ growing record of yacht auction results.
The sale reinforces Boathouse Auctions’ ability to work alongside respected yacht brokerage firms while creating urgency, visibility, and a clear path to closing for premium yacht owners. LIVE MAS also demonstrates how a well-maintained production motor yacht with recent refit investment can be brought to market through a structured auction process that supports buyers, sellers, and brokers alike.
The sale of LIVE MAS adds a notable 85′ Ocean Alexander yacht sold at auction to Boathouse Auctions’ record of online yacht auction results. Offered from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, LIVE MAS attracted attention as a meticulously maintained 2017 Ocean Alexander with a 2023 refit, a popular 85-foot layout, and strong family-cruising appeal.
Unlike the larger tri-deck and traditional superyacht results in Boathouse Auctions’ recent record, LIVE MAS speaks to a different buyer profile: someone seeking a late-model, refined, professionally maintained motor yacht with modern systems, generous exterior entertaining space, and a more intimate size range.
LIVE MAS is an 85′ Ocean Alexander semi-displacement motor yacht with 133 GT of volume, accommodations for 8 guests in 4 staterooms, and crew accommodations for 3. Her layout includes a full-beam Owner’s stateroom, large VIP stateroom, two guest staterooms, and a generously sized crew area with two cabins.
Her 2023 refit and technical specifications added meaningful buyer appeal. Notable features include full exterior Awlgrip paint from the waterline up, the MTU 12V2000 1920hp Performance Package, Sidepower Zero-Speed Stabilizers, a Sea Recovery 900-gallon-per-day watermaker, flybridge air conditioning, updated exterior cushions, replaced anchor chain, rebuilt davit, upgraded refrigeration, new wine cooler, new carpet, and quartz upgrades in key interior areas.
For buyers evaluating an Ocean Alexander yacht sold at auction, those details matter. LIVE MAS combined recognizable builder pedigree, refit history, stabilized comfort, outdoor entertaining space, and the confidence of a transparent auction process.
The LIVE MAS auction was completed in partnership with Superyacht Sales & Charter, with Bryan Long Yacht Sales introducing the buyer. This structure reflects the broker-friendly nature of the Boathouse Auctions model: listing brokerage relationships remain central, buyer-side broker participation is fully supported, and the auction platform adds market exposure, bidder qualification, and real-time online bidding to the traditional brokerage process.
That matters for yacht owners and central listing agents. Boathouse Auctions does not replace professional yacht brokerage. It complements it by creating a defined sale timeline, focusing qualified buyer attention, and giving serious buyers a transparent path to participate.
The LIVE MAS yacht auction result provides another example of how a scheduled online yacht auction can create urgency for a premium motor yacht in a competitive resale category. In traditional brokerage, even well-presented yachts can face extended timelines while buyers compare similar models, negotiate privately, and wait for pricing clarity. A time-defined auction process changes that dynamic by focusing the market within a clear decision window.
For buyers, the process creates a structured path to review available information, evaluate the yacht, work with brokerage representation, and participate through the platform. For sellers, the process creates visible market response around qualified buyer interest rather than relying solely on private negotiations over an indefinite timeline.
The sale of LIVE MAS demonstrates the value of combining builder-led marketing, recent refit positioning, brokerage collaboration, buyer qualification, and a transparent online auction process. When a yacht has Ocean Alexander pedigree, full-time professional maintenance, modern upgrades, and a clearly defined auction timeline, Boathouse Auctions can help bring serious buyer attention to a decision point.
For owners considering whether to sell a motor yacht at auction, LIVE MAS is a strong example of how a premium, late-model yacht can be marketed through respected brokerage channels while gaining the added urgency and transparency of a live online auction.
