Oyster Yachts has today unveiled the brand new Oyster 515 – the next generation of its 50 foot range. Drawing on the award-winning qualities that made the previously launched Oyster 495 a benchmark in her class, the new Oyster 515 combines an increased sail area with greater volume, more contemporary styling and a completely reimagined deck that transforms life on board.
A new model with new ideas, the designs were shaped by the experiences of the Oyster Family and the millions of bluewater miles they’ve sailed. Her launch marks a significant milestone for Oyster, further strengthening the offering of luxury ocean exploration and personalised yacht ownership.
Designed in collaboration with Humphreys Yacht Design and Oyster’s in-house Design Studio, the most significant evolution of the Oyster 515 is found in the aft section of the yacht. A completely redesigned beach-club inspired aft deck space creates a new dimension to life on board. Combining aft-facing seating, a sunken lounge and a larger superyacht-inspired fold-down bathing platform, it is perfect for relaxing, entertaining, and swimming at anchor, creating a true living space at the water's edge.
An intelligent use of space, the increased lazarette stowage accommodates water toys and cruising equipment. Alternatively, the choice between an integrated tender garage and conventional davits allows owners to configure the yacht around how they intend to sail and explore.
Below deck, her increased volume supports long voyages at sea. Enlarged Seascape windows, an Oyster hallmark, fill the interior with natural light, while the signature Deck Saloon and full-beam aft owner's stateroom offer comfort and practicality. A three-cabin layout delivers the space and seclusion normally expected of a much larger yacht.
Under sail, she remains every inch an Oyster. A revised sail plan, increased sail area, twin rudders and powered sail-handling systems deliver responsive handling that's reassuringly manageable for a couple or family, with or without additional crew. New wing seats beside the helm stations provide the ultimate vantage point, and the optional shoal-keel draft opens up shallower and more remote cruising locations that deeper-draft yachts cannot access. Every detail reflects Oyster’s commitment to safety, durability and confidence on the water.
Perfectly suited to Mediterranean cruising yet equipped to take owners anywhere in the world, the Oyster 515 delivers greater space, controlled handling and versatility while remaining unmistakably Oyster. To find out more, discover the Oyster 515 below.
