Her wide beam aft and twin rudders mean she is stable and sure-footed in lively seas; at the same time, she is always direct and agile on the helm, giving you fingertip control even in the heaviest weather.

Shallow-draft keel

The optional centreboard variant reduces the keel depth substantially, enabling access to shallow cruising grounds and remote anchorages.

POWER GENERATION

A blended solution

Solar power

Optional hard or soft biminis can be specified with solar panels, each individually wired to capture the sun’s energy efficiently. This design ensures the system maximises daily charging capacity of the lithium-ion battery banks, even when panels are in the shade.

Hydro power

A hydro generator harvests power on the move, driving it to lithium-ion batteries to maximise daily charging capacity.

Lithium-ion batteries

The latest high-capacity, lithium-ion batteries store energy generated by day, enabling powering of systems at night. This provides silent running with reduced use of the generator and longer intervals between services.

Engine performance

The 247hp Cummings Turbo-charged QSB6.7-250, new generation diesel engine, is both quiet and powerful. With an 2,000 litre fuel tank, the engine offers excellent range and economy.

BLUEWATER ADVENTURE

The world is yours

The Oyster 745 is a true bluewater adventure machine, equipped for any adventure and built to withstand the harshest of ocean environments.

Oyster’s bluewater cruising DNA is rooted in 50 years’ experience, over 100 circumnavigations and more than 20 million bluewater miles. This experience has helped us refine the Oyster 745 to ensure she is capable of sailing anywhere in the world in unparalleled luxury, comfort and reassuring safety.

Every requirement has been considered and every piece of equipment is intentionally over-specified – from sailing equipment to carpentry details and hand holds. Automated sailing systems feature failsafe back-ups, ensuring you are never compromised or at risk. Oyster’s renowned build quality and uncompromising strength of construction are paramount, which is why our explorer yachts for sale are Lloyd’s Register or DNV-GL certified for strength and integrity.

Self-sufficiency is an essential feature of bluewater cruising yachts. Must-have bluewater liveaboard features like a watermaker, large tankage and vast stowage, through to stepped mast and comfortable living spaces, come as standard on Oyster yachts.

All these factors ensure complete confidence in her capabilities, no matter the conditions encountered.

Over the decades, practicality and capability have become synonymous with Oyster. At the heart of every yacht is a comfortable, centre cockpit and helm positions, protected by a sprayhood and hard or soft bimini – all welcome features on long passages.

The iconic Oyster deck saloon is light, spacious and features excellent natural ventilation through the trademark forward opening saloon windows. This beautifully appointed social space, with deep, comfortable sofas, is perfect for relaxing. On deck, the spacious, flush decks are clutter-free for safe access when sailing in heavy weather.

Every inch of the large volume hull has been meticulously designed for living comfort, sailing capability and practical, easy access to engineering. Extensive storage allows for ample provisioning and a wide range of spares in preparation for any eventuality.

Other signature features include a generously sized chart table, an open galley, connected technology and latest navigation aids. Multiple downwind sail options for typical bluewater cruising conditions and automated sail furling/reefing offer effortless, shorthanded sailing in all conditions.

Connected, comfortable and practical, the Oyster 745 is an ideal liveaboard explorer yacht – your home away from home wherever you are in the world.

Every detail has been meticulously considered to make life aboard a pleasure. The living area maximises available space with an open galley, a light and airy saloon, navigation station and well-appointed entertaining spaces. Interiors offer all the comforts of home, including relaxed lounging areas, connectivity and essential facilities. A well-planned galley, with ample storage provides plenty of space for provisions during extended periods at sea. Appliances such as a large fridge freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and icemaker ensure life aboard is both comfortable and convenient.

The generous cabins feature deep, comfortable mattresses, island berths, mood lighting, full-length mirrors and ensuites, ensuring relaxed, comfortable living spaces. The Oyster 745’s forward-opening saloon windows, forced air ventilation system and air conditioning provide excellent air circulation to maintain optimal temperatures below deck.

The ultimate bluewater adventure.

The Oyster World Rally is an exclusive, fully supported 27,000nm circumnavigation of the planet over 16 months. Engaging, enriching, empowering, this is the sailing adventure of a lifetime.
