Wallace Yacht Company specializes in yachts of value, substance and character. Take a look at all of the listings and you will find that each boat is very desireable and unique in each catagory of yacht,....The yacht above is an offering soon to be announced.
I seek the best in each category I represent. There are several heirloom quality offerings which show that the best is available in a broad range of prices, putting safe and beautiful cruising, racing and collectible yachts within financial reach of those of us who appreciate them and aspire to own, cruise, race and live on what are some of the finest yachts in the world. Yacht designs such as those from German Frers, Colin Archer, Arthur DeFever and Olin Stevens are a few of the yachts I seek and represent.
I have been in the bilges of every boat you see here. I have tapped on each hull, dug at each wooden yachts' ribs, and sailed or operated most of them underway.
An example of a very affordable yacht which illustrates this point is the Bryan Hayes cutter. She has a proven design, she is both seaworthy and stunning. People who pass her by on the docks stop and quietly take her presence in. Another fine example is Howard Hughes' past 85 footer, Destiny. An unbelievable value, when one considers her superb condition, comfortable live-ability, history and seaworthiness
I will not select a yacht to represent based on convenience or accessories. Accessories can be had at wholesale prices and convenience can be overcome with shipping and delivery. The Lancer 45 on my site is now underway on her own bottom to Hawaii! The best is the best and it is where it is. The Wallace Yacht Company has active listings on both the Atlantic and Pacific Coasts, in both the USA and in Mexico.
About 30% of my business is not advertised. Look at the photographs......you will see features which set these yachts apart....Pictures and information that you need to see to make the purchase decision, or at least decide whether the boat is worth the plane ticket and time to see it.

Featured Boat 52' Ocean Alexander Pilothouse Cockpit Motoryacht 1990 US$ 485,650 Stabilizers, fully serviced, spotless, and ready to economically voyage in complete comfort today! Lady Anne is a STUNNER..... On the surface, there seems to be many choices available in the luxury yacht market, yet upon close examination of the candidates, only a very few choices are able to make the short list of educated buyers. Ocean Alexander answers the challenge of producing some of the finest designs; not only for beauty, but also for stability, reliability, safety, and time proven value retention. Lady Anne is the finest example of Ocean Alexander excellence I have seen. Let’s start with the most important factor in selecting a yacht---hull design. You can change any component on a yacht in days, but you can not change the basic form and design; and therefore, function. Many yachts begin with a hull and then seem to be no more when you actually use them than a trend driven compilation of parts. Lady Anne is far from a 52 foot shopping cart full of the latest sea-bound gadgets. She is a magnificent vessel, and moves as a cohesive unit---smooth and predictable. The Ocean Alexander 52 has a dramatically flared bow, a keel and also a hard chine as well. This produces the Ocean Alexander legendary butter-smooth ride. Start with the base of the bow, at the point of water entry. At the leading edge of the vessel, the hull form comes to a sharp pointed edge. This edge slices, rather than pushes through the water. The benefits are a ride which is not wave slapping and jarring and also produces a smooth rest at anchor. From this point, the bow flares out in a very exaggerated fashion. One clear benefit of this design is a dry boat, with reduced spray as the water is directed outward and downward. Please note the underway pictures for evidence of this.(Should some spray or rain hit the windscreens, it is handled by 3 dual arm wipers with washers, as opposed to single arm wipers which only clear a small pie-shaped spot to peer through). What many also do not often consider, is the biggest benefit of all, which is the reserve buoyancy which comes in to play as the wave level rises above the painted waterline. This reserve buoyancy is the beginning of what combines in this design to make the hull fight with unmatched tenacity to stay level in beam seas. This is the bow theory utilized in large commercial ferries, below the car deck line, in order to produce the level and smooth ride you experience on a ferry. This particular Ocean Alexander takes this action quite a bit farther as she is fitted with hydraulic stabilizers. The extra 4 or 5 inch lip above the waterline comes in to play at cruising speeds to amplify this stability dynamic. This is one fast, dry and stable yacht. She cruises quietly and economically at 12-14 knots and tops out at around 20….all at a dead level ride, thanks to her hull form, stabilizers and even trim tabs! While 20 knots is not necessary out in the deep water for normal cruising, the reserve of such a large amount of power comes in handy for blasting through our Northwest passes, known for swift and strong tidal rip currents. It is a rare luxury to be able to travel by your life’s schedule and your hearts desires, rather than by a tide table. As far as equipment, she is outfitted with all one could ask for in the realm of current living and navigation needs, but there is one feature which I find to be a great representation of her logical and simple design and fitment inventory: her amp hour gauge. There is so much to learn about offshore electricity that many bookshelves are filled with books on the topic. The amp hour gauge takes all the guess work and mystery out of the topic. They are primarily used in sailing boats where electrical power is at a very high premium. Simply put, the gauge is exactly like a fuel level gauge. With 1000 amp hours of storage capacity, and let’s say 90 amp hours consumed, you have a little over 900 available for living at anchor. Amp hours are replenished by simply running the engines, or starting the genset with the touch of a button, and they are also replenished at the dock when hooked up to shore power. A complicated topic made so very simple. This is the kind of addition to a vessel that can only be done by a knowledgeable owner. Another feature that Ocean Alexander is noted for is the resistance to rain-oriented damage. It is fresh water that kills boats. Rainwater leaking in and the boat going through fresh water wet and dry cycles. A rain leak was noted under a window in her past, and not sparing any expense, her owner had ALL of her glass removed and rebedded! When at anchor or at the dock, you can leave her opening ports open, with out concern for rain water ingress. Ocean Alexander places these openings UNDER the flare of the bow, so rain water just can’t get in. Note other yachts in her class. Many of those will have portlights mounted on the trunk cabin, forward. Not only can you not see anything out of the ports, they can not be left open in the rain, and they are prone to premature leaks as well. A well ventilated boat is a good smelling and dry boat. Those that have not lived aboard vessels may not be aware that when everyone takes a long hot shower, and cooking a pot of pasta or steaming some fresh crabs, that you can create quite a bit of humidity inside. The Espar dry forced air furnace, her opening ports and supplemental ventilation systems all combine to create an atmosphere that allows you to come to expect what you take for granted in your land home- DRY bath towels, bedding, carpet and living conditions in general. Fresh water ingress and unattended humidity are why some boats smell like boats, and Ocean Alexanders do not. Another added feature unique to this yacht is the addition of a concealed door screen and also OCEAN AIRE silent window screens……at a cost of over $5000. It does not stop here. You need not be overwhelmed with getting accustom to operating and owning this Ocean Alexander 52. All her original manuals are on board, and categorized for the instant location of any information on any system on board. Note the picture of her waterheater. Look closely and you will find a spare heater element tie wrapped to the unit itself and ready for quick installation---even underway! Her helm is laid out with all system controls and monitors within easy reach and direct line of sight. In the unlikely event of a bilge alarm sounding, you can instantly see which bilge pump is running and immediately isolate and correct the problem. The same holds true for all systems on board. With her wide non-skid decks for sure footing, her bow thruster controls for drama-free docking, and easy to use nav gear, this is one large vessel that you do not need a crew to run. This yacht is equally at home with the gang that wants to go fishing and crabbing, as she is taking the more luxury minded part of the family to cosmopolitan locations for very sophisticated outings. Her checklists for both departures and arrivals, her bowthruster and power up/down windlass with scope meter; make her an ideal candidate for charter and also so that the whole family can use her, but also so that those in the family with other interests can take her out separately as well. You do not have to be a professional captain to enjoy this beautiful yacht. Yes, you can actually share this yacht with the whole family. Lady Anne is a great barefoot boat! Please notice her line cleats which are not mounted on any footing surfaces. Her decks throughout are not cluttered with toe stubbers, or unnecessary obstructions. Even her stanchions for her safety rails are mounted proud of the deck, eliminating water ingress in to the deck structure, and removing them from your foot paths. These safety rails have openings in them for docking that have heavy knurled closure fittings for positive and rigid rails when underway. These gates have the same structural strength as the stationary sections of railings aboard. Lady Anne’s Pilothouse is laid out in a manner which gives the captain visual access to all parts of the boat while underway, yet provides a separate area for distraction-free operation. There is a generous and comfortable pilothouse banquette so that all who care to join her pilot can relax with full vision of the surroundings and comfort. A sound night’s sleep is in store for the captain as well. When at anchor, the person(s) responsible for the vessel are kept informed of her anchoring position with a depth and speed log by the centerline queen bed. When considering a yacht that will be entertained in and on, you must consider those that are prone to sea sickness which may be guests aboard. Comfort is dealt with in many ways aboard Lady Anne. First is the hull form, which provides a beautiful and level ride. This is also accentuated by the use of stabilizers and trim tabs.. Great ventilation and windows in all areas occupied while underway also ensure that all of those aboard can see the horizon through the liberal placement of viewing windows and hatches. These features, both active and passive, combine to give the greatest opportunity to all who cruise on her a pleasurable and safe yachting experience. As I have stated in her FULL SPECS lay out, Lady Anne is first a safe and stable ocean going vessel, but not at the expense of luxury, entertainment and comfort. I can’t imagine that anyone could possibly ask for more in a motoryacht than what Ocean Alexander and Lady Anne’s current owner both deliver in this fine offering.
