"What inspired me to choose Oyster was the freedom that the Oyster 745 offers to explore the world"
Choosing the Oyster 745 CB for its perfect blend of performance, luxury and flexibility, Stuart and Lana specified ENDURANCE as a true bluewater exploration yacht. With features like a retractable centreboard to access shallow cruising grounds, remote anchorages and tidal areas, an extended transom for additional stowage, long-range tanks, advanced insulation, heating, an enclosed solar bimini and custom engineering upgrades, ENDURANCE is prepared and equipped to take them anywhere on the planet.
As newcomers to sailing, Stuart and Lana valued the Oyster 745’s flexible crew quarters—an ideal solution for professional crew to guide them through their learning and long-range ambitions.
With a lifelong dedication to adventure, Stuart and Lana now want to explore deeper and slower, and with Oyster’s expert guidance, they have built a yacht that matches their adventurous spirit and sets a course backed by Oyster’s comprehensive services and support.
