We offer exclusive private sailing charters in the Caribbean, Mediterranean, US East Coast and the United Kingdom. It is a great way for friends or family to sail, relax and enjoy unforgettable adventures with family and friends. But be warned - many of our owners fell in love with Oyster on a yacht charter, including Richard Hadida, who bought an Oyster and then the company.
