LEGEND Yacht – Luxurious $50M Superyacht

The 77.4m LEGEND yacht was constructed to the highest specifications by Dutch shipyard ICON Yachts in 1974. She was then extensively refitted in 2015 in partnership with Verkerk Yachting Projects. 

From a Class I icebreaker, she has been turned into a magnificent charter boat without sacrificing her safety and strength. As a result, she is now one of the world’s first ice-capable yachts.

She was designed as the ideal luxurious platform for serious adventure. Able to travel practically everywhere in the globe, including the arctic, the LEGEND yacht offers a pleasant, elegant atmosphere for passengers while onboard.

The Ultimate Toybox for Summer and Winter

Nowhere is out of reach with Legend’s wide selection of toys. Start the day with deep sea exploration with the onboard submarine and end it with your head in the clouds, lifting off from Legend’s fully-commercial helideck. Of course, if you’d rather keep your feet firmly at sea level, her Targa 37’ Chase Boat, two expedition tenders, jet-skis, kayaks, diving and ice-diving equipment will more than satisfy your exploration needs.

Heli Operations

Legend’s fully commercial helideck is capable of supporting a range of heli-operations, from airborne arrivals and departures to heli-skiing and remote exploration. A helicopter can be chartered at an extra cost, with heli-pilot accommodated in addition to the crew.

Whether Island hopping in the Mediterranean or exploring the polar regions of Antarctica and Svalbard, you can dive beneath the waves in comfort, thanks to Legend’s onboard U Boat Works C Explorer, which can carry 5 guests up to 200m below sea level.

37’ Targa Chase Boat - Summer Only

Polar Expedition Equipment – Antarctica Only

Polar trekking and camping gear is carried on board, meaning your exploration of Antarctica needn’t finish at the shoreline.

Capable of accommodating 26 passengers, yacht LEGEND truly stands out from her competitors. There are so few private yacht charter vessels capable of accommodating more than 12 guests. Most are old cruise ships or commercial cargo ships, transformed into private yachts. This is not the case with the 2105 super yacht LEGEND, a first of a kind expedition charter yacht.

Built as a Class 1 ice-breaking ship, the 77.40 meter motor yacht LEGEND was converted into the only luxury ice-breaking yacht anywhere in the world.

She carries all of the amenities expected on an expedition vessel, such as a submarine and a commercial helipad. Adventure and Artic polar exploration await intrepid charterers, all from the confines of a private luxury yacht with world-class cuisine and the comforts of a dedicated spa center.

Imagine the ultimate wellness yacht charter – exploring remote areas like Greenland, the Norwegian Fjords, and the Arctic circle, while renewing mind, body and spirit in a full gym, swimming pool, Balinese spa with sauna and hot tub, beauty salon, and a medical suite.

Recreational toys include paddle boards and waverunners, and something unheard of on a luxury charter yacht: snow scooters.

The 254-foot yacht offers accommodations for 26 guests in 13 staterooms: a Master suite, 2 VIP Suites, 5 Double cabins, and 5 Twins – with two of the Twin cabins convertible to doubles.

…and another bonus? Motoryacht LEGEND is available for long-term charters!

Designer insight: the new features on board Ocean Alexander’s latest entry-level yacht

Following the recent launch of Ocean Alexander’s new 28L model, BOAT' s Hannah Rankine sits down with designer Evan K. Marshall to explore the latest innovations featured on this entry-level superyacht.

Taiwanese yacht builder Ocean Alexander has unveiled its latest model in its Legend series, the 28L. Designed both inside and out by the renowned Evan K. Marshall , a long-time design collaborator with the shipyard, the 28L represents a fresh iteration of the series. “I am responsible for two Ocean Alexander series: the Revolution series, known for its Eurocentric, contemporary design, and the Legend series, which includes the 28L,” Marshall explains. “The Revolution series comprises three models - the 27R, 30R, and 35R. We recognised the need for a similar lineup in the Legend series, leading to the creation of the 28L, an entry-level yacht designed for new clients looking to begin their ownership journey with Ocean Alexander.”

At 28 metres, the superyacht retains the core design philosophy of its Legend predecessors while incorporating new elements tailored to the preferences of today's yacht owners. “There wasn’t a formal design brief for the 28L as the Legend series already has a well-established identity,” says Marshall. “With its raked bow and classic styling, the series appeals to a more conservative clientele that favour traditional features. The design isn't about competing with modern trends but staying true to what many consider a ‘proper’ yacht.”

Versatile social areas

With accommodation for eight guests across four cabins, the 28L merges the beloved features and design elements of the existing Legend series models - the 32L and 37L - in a more compact size, offering a more accessible entry point into the Ocean Alexander brand. “One of our signature features has always been the generous social spaces we include on board. While many European manufacturers opt for a raised pilothouse on tri-decks of this size, we often choose to incorporate a skylounge instead,” notes Marshall. The upper deck offers panoramic views and access to the yacht's expansive exterior aft deck. This outdoor area includes an al fresco dining/lounge space, a buffet bar with barbecue, and sun loungers. Downstairs, there is a spacious main saloon complete with a bar.

A standout element of the 28L is its main deck forward dining room connecting to the spacious galley. This unique layout allows for both formal and informal dining experiences through a versatile pocket door system. "We have noticed that American yacht owners, with their large families and groups of friends, prefer casual social spaces, especially in the galley and dining areas,” says Marshall. “This contrasts with European yachting, where guests and crew are often more separated. To create the best of both worlds, we designed large pocket doors that can open to connect the galley and dining area for a casual setting or close to create a more formal separation. We introduced this feature on smaller yachts, which are typically owner-operated, to provide flexibility between casual and formal settings.”

Refreshed styling

In terms of materials and finishes, the 28L introduces two new Ocean Alexander styling options - Eden Dusk and Eden Mist. “The Legend series is undergoing a complete interior styling refresh, including updates to the built-in furniture, door hardware and fabrics,” Marshall explains. “The new 28L will be the first model to showcase these new styles, which will gradually extend across the Legend and Revolution series. While not a drastic change, it’s a refined approach to furniture detailing. Typically, these styles last for around two years before we update again.”

The refreshed designs feature real wood veneers, Italian leathers and premium loose furniture from internationally acclaimed brands such as Poltrona Frau, Piliform, Loom, Foglizzo leathers and Cambria Stones. “We have found that owners generally prefer either a light or dark wood veneer interior, each paired with corresponding lacquer colours, countertops and fabrics, to name a few,” says Marshall.

“What I enjoy about designing production boats is the challenge of creating a product with broad appeal,” he adds. “Much like with cars, where success hinges on selling in high volumes, a production yacht must be designed to attract a wide range of boaters. This requires us to adopt a production designer's mindset, focusing on features that will resonate with the majority of potential buyers. Balancing these diverse preferences can be quite challenging, but it’s a crucial part of ensuring the yacht's success.”

The 28L is set to debut at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show 2024 . For more information or to schedule a viewing, contact the team at Ocean Alexander today .
