You don't mention budget, but if there isn't one get yourself a Nordhavn and be done with it.
But a much more important question than "what's a capable, long-range, ocean-crossing boat?" is how much do you know about boating? Any boating.
Have you been boating in smaller boats for years and you're ready to move up to a bigger one? Do you understand weather and currents and navigation and all the stuff the folks on this forum spend forever arguing about? Do you know how to maneuver a cruising boat when the wind's blowing and the current's going the wrong way?
Or, is this big-boat, passagemaking thing something that sounds intriguing and you're trying to figure out how to get into it but you don't have much of a boating background?
It's very hard to offer any meaningful suggestions about what an ideal boat might be without knowing the capabilities and experience of the person asking the question.
