Luxury, space and privacy you will love

Designed with sailing and entertaining in mind, this 90 foot sailboat boasts expansive and luxurious living spaces. On deck there is a choice of generous entertaining areas for all occasions. Below deck, you can choose from a range of alternative layouts; her standard layout offers four en-suite double guest cabins with separate crew quarters for complete privacy. At just under 90 feet, the Oyster 885 comes in just below the 24m Load Line Rule, which means less red tape with many of the benefits of a much larger yacht. This makes her the perfect size if you wish to make the most of your investment by chartering her to other Oyster enthusiasts in breaks between your own adventures.

Handcrafted with pride

No two Oysters are the same. Each of our yachts is designed and handcrafted using time-honoured skills, insights and learnings gained over 49 years from a loyal group of visionaries including owners, staff, sales team and project managers. Working with an obsessive attention to detail and the finest materials, our craftspeople know how to translate your vision into a yacht that is an Oyster through and through but is also unique to you.

An obsession for detail

All our yachts are built with a meticulous attention to detail. Every aspect of the build undergoes exacting scrutiny throughout the build process. The hull and deck are Lloyd’s Register certified for strength and integrity. We have only one rule when it comes to quality – if the smallest detail is not perfect, it doesn’t leave the workshop.

Time-honoured crafts

We are a British boatbuilder with an enduring heritage spanning over 47 years. Our yards have been in operation for over 100 years, each individually renowned as part of a local boatbuilding tradition. Time-honoured trades and experience are passed down through generations, from one master to the next apprentice. Our craftspeople are life-long boatbuilders who share our deep pride in bringing our yachts to life.

Safety as standard

Oysters are specified well-beyond the normal requirements you would expect in a bluewater cruiser. The Lloyd’s Register-certified single skin hull is extremely robust, affording you the peace of mind that your 885 can easily handle any conditions – from extreme cold to tropical heat or heavy weather.

Oyster quality guaranteed

The combined skills of all our experts contribute to your Oyster’s exceptional quality. They bring pride and passion to the build, which is inherent in the quality and finish of everything you touch and see. When you take ownership of your 885, you know she has been built with the upmost care.

The Oyster 885GT

The new Oyster 885GT combines sophisticated bluewater performance with the luxury, comfort and safety for which Oyster is world-renowned. Inspired by the Grand Tourer automobiles of the 1950s which were designed for fast, effortless driving over long distances, combining true luxury with exceptional performance capability. This was our inspiration when asked by a long-time Oyster owner with the desire to take the outstanding performance of the Oyster 885 and optimise it for even faster passage making. The result is the Oyster 885GT – a Grand Tourer for the ocean.

Intelligent design, outstanding performance

Every aspect of performance has been considered to create a lighter boat with reduced displacement to enhance performance. These remarkable bluewater cruisers are true Grand Tourers with optimised performance and luxury all in one.

Many elements of the design have been honed and finessed to offer an even more exhilarating sailing experience. Her taller carbon rig, upgraded winches, optimised sail wardrobe, carbon standing rigging and deeper T-Keel all inform her enhanced performance.

Every ounce counts. A T-Keel and lighter carbon elements are used throughout to give the GT rewarding agility and turn of speed on the open ocean.

Like any true Grand Tourer, luxury and styling is at the heart of the 885GT. She is easily identified by the striking grey or white GT colour schemes. Or select your own favourite colours. Whichever scheme you choose, she will also feature signature GT red rudders and keel.

Performance-enhancing specification

Our designers have focused on the details that make all the difference. The result is a yacht that is more than the sum of its parts, highly-tuned to perform.

Mast, rigging and bowsprit

Carbon Hall Spars with a 4-spreader taller mast feature SCR rigging and Park Avenue V-boom. Her carbon rigging is 50% stronger and 70% lighter. A taller rig allows for 5% more upwind sail area and 15% more downwind sail area is achieved from the extended bowsprit.

Sail wardrobe

Specified with optimised North 3Di Ocean sail package with 780 Main and Headsail. This innovative, stronger and lighter composite construction is tough enough to handle multiple circumnavigations. Regatta upgrade Technora ropes for improved heat resistance and better sheet control when you need it.

High-spec hardware

Fast and sleek, and finished in anodised black, the deck-mounted halyard winches have been upgraded to 88/3 speed.

State-of-the-art instruments

Fitted with B&G instruments with vang angle data integrated to B&G system, including aft depth sounder and two engine room cameras.

Oyster luxury

Oyster yachts are designed for long-distance, live-aboard blue water adventures in comfort and luxury. Every detail is considered based on our understanding of how owners use their yachts and from our own experience as seasoned sailors, with thousands of nautical miles under our collective belts. Luxury comes in all shapes and sizes across the range - reveal below to see what Oyster luxury looks like in all its glory.

The Connected Yacht

Leading-edge technology is seamlessly woven into the Oyster 885 making it digitally-enabled, so you are always connected anywhere in the world. Every system is chosen for its ruggedness and fitness for purpose. Oyster’s proprietary digital switching system Oyster Command™, which now comes as standard on all our models, lets you monitor and control various systems over a digital network through the touchscreens at the navigation table and helm positions, or on your tablet device from anywhere on the boat. Specified systems are tested thoroughly at sea to give you complete peace of mind – we only specify safety and navigation technology that we know is reliable and trustworthy from first-hand experience.

Oyster Command

Oyster Command™ is a digital switching system that controls everything from on board entertainment and lighting, to all your main systems, utilities, and security. It can be controlled from any multi-functional display you have installed on your yacht or mobile device. The system is accessed through a clear, intuitive and easy to use graphic interface. It is simple to navigate and operate from the screen at the navigation table, helm positions, or on any other multi-functional display you have on board.

Guardian Angel

Guardian Angel™ is Oyster’s latest safety system which provides Oyster HQ remote live monitoring access to the yachts’ systems, via the Yellowbrick tracker. It enables owners to seek assistance or advice at the touch of a button and Oyster HQ to notify of issues, offer technical support or solve the issue remotely. Accessed through the Oyster Command™ switching system, Guardian Angel provides a new level of peace of mind for owners. The overview screen gives you a snapshot of all the main functions and health status of the domestic, utility and power systems on board.

Internet and WiFi

All Oyster yachts are fully connected, featuring wifi throughout, accessed through the latest satellite technology. A 4/5G cellular antenna picks up signal when you are close to onshore radio masts.

Audio-Visual Systems

We work with you to specify the right audio-visual equipment for you. These entertainment systems are seamlessly integrated into your yacht to keep you entertained wherever you are on the boat.

Lighting

Oyster proprietary mood lighting system allows you to adjust the lighting tones to your mood via our pre-set digital light switches, making environments comfortable, relaxing and well-lit. LED light tones are matched throughout the yacht to provide a seamless experience. Recessed and LED strip lights are intelligently placed to offer perfect mood lighting throughout.

Building your Oyster

We believe yacht ownership begins from the moment you commission your Oyster. The build process is an experience you will savour, and your Project Manager will guide you through every step of the way. Being part of this process adds to the deep sense of ownership you will feel when you step aboard for the first time.

Turning dreams into reality

Our Project Managers are all experienced sailors who will help you turn your sailing plans and dreams of adventure into reality. Their practical experience is gained from thousands of sailing miles, previous builds and a deep knowledge of Oyster, making them well-placed to advise you on any topic from complex computer and AV systems to selecting sails and galley equipment.

Your yacht, your choices

Your Project Manager will take time to get to know you and understand your plans – what you want to do with your yacht, where you would like to sail her and what is most important to you. They will then help you choose the right options and equipment to meet your needs.

Regular meetings and updates

We will keep you up-to-date and make sure you have all the information you need to make decisions at the right time. A key part of owning your Oyster is understanding the craftsmanship and attention to detail that go into her. We arrange regular yard visits in person or online, so you can to see her at key points during the build and see our master craftspeople at work.

Personalising your Oyster

No two Oysters are alike, and we know it is the small details that make a boat yours. Throughout the build there are many opportunities for you to personalise your yacht. We take you through every element and work with you to make sure your ideas are incorporated and amplified throughout.

From build to handover

You will be invited to see your 885 at different stages throughout her build, including several visits to the moulding and fit-out yards. Upon completion she will be commissioned – a process that takes five to eight weeks with an extreme attention to detail to meet the most exacting standards, so everything is perfect when you take ownership. This is followed by a week-long handover, when the team will introduce you to your yacht and give you the confidence to set sail on your first adventure.
