Oyster Yachts represents the pinnacle of British sailing heritage, specializing in high-performance bluewater cruisers designed for global circumnavigation. Founded in 1973, the yard gained international recognition for its deck saloon design, a feature that provides panoramic views and a light, airy interior. This hallmark has become synonymous with the brand, offering sailors a level of comfort and visibility rarely found in traditional offshore sailing yachts.

The builder operates a vertically integrated production model from its facilities in Southampton and Wroxham. By managing everything from hull molding to interior joinery in-house, the team ensures a consistent standard of craftsmanship across every vessel. This dedication to quality is reflected in the brand’s loyal following, as approximately 50 percent of all new builds are commissioned by existing owners who are moving up in size or seeking the latest technical refinements.

For many, owning an Oyster is about more than just the yacht: it is about joining a global community of adventurers. Through events like the Oyster World Rally, the shipyard provides unmatched technical and logistical support for those sailing around the world. Whether navigating remote archipelagos or participating in Mediterranean regattas, owners benefit from a network of service centers and a design philosophy that prioritizes safety, autonomy, and the joy of sailing.
