NEW LISTING - OYSTER 53/49 GOLDEN PEARL

Golden Pearl is an exceptional example of the iconic Oyster 53. This model that strikes the perfect balance between size, performance, and luxury. Designed by Rob Humphreys and the Oyster Design Team, the 53 has earned a reputation as one of Oyster’s most successful models, prized for her proven passage making capabilities, ease of handling, and timeless good looks.

At just over 53 feet, Golden Pearl is the ideal size for an owner operated yacht, she is large enough to provide powerful offshore performance, safe ocean-going stability, and generous accommodation, yet compact enough to be easily managed by a couple. Her cutter rig with in-mast furling and electric winches allows for effortless sail handling, even shorthanded, while her bow thruster and thoughtful deck layout make close quarters manoeuvring a stress-free experience.

On deck, the sleek “G5” deck styling gives her a modern, low profile look that turns heads in any anchorage. Her teak laid decks, protected cockpit, and well-planned sail controls combine safety with comfort, ensuring both crew and guests feel secure at sea and at rest.

Below decks, Golden Pearl offers the warmth and sophistication for which Oyster is renowned. Her beautifully handcrafted teak interior exudes quality and durability, with thoughtful joinery details and a classic yet contemporary ambiance. Accommodation is generous and versatile, with eight berths in four cabins, including a luxurious full-beam owner’s stateroom aft, a forward VIP double, two twin cabins, and a light filled deck saloon. This rare four cabin arrangement in a yacht of this size makes her particularly appealing for family cruising or hosting guests in comfort.

Her equipment list is extensive, including a recently serviced Yanmar engine, Westerbeke generator, new sails (2024), new standing and running rigging (2025), and a comprehensive suite of Garmin electronics, ensuring reliability and peace of mind for extended voyaging. With her robust construction and EURCD Category A “Ocean” certification, Golden Pearl is built and equipped to take her next owner safely across oceans or to cruise in comfort closer to home.

Golden Pearl is a superb opportunity to join the Oyster family with a beautifully maintained Oyster 53 – a yacht that delivers easy handling, luxurious living, and confidence-inspiring passage making in a perfectly sized package at an attractive price.

Early viewing is recommended.

MANUFACTURER'S COMMENTS

The second Oyster model to be designed by Rob Humphreys, the 53 is very much a little sister to the 56 and an outstanding success in her own right, with fifty-two launched between 1999 and 2008. The 53 is also the smallest Oyster that offers a four cabin layout, the fourth cabin available either as a twin cabin, a single/workshop, or full workshop, offering great versatility and potential autonomy for long distance cruising.

Fast, well balanced, superb in poor weather and simple to handle, the 53 is deservedly more of one of our most sought after designs.
