Description

EXTENSIVELY UPGRADED OYSTER 56 – BLUEWATER READY. A rare opportunity to acquire a genuinely bluewater-capable Oyster 56, extensively upgraded and carefully maintained for comfortable long-distance cruising and liveaboard life. Built in 2003 and commissioned in 2004, this Oyster 56 (Hull #34) represents everything that has made Oyster one of the most respected names in offshore sailing. Designed by renowned naval architect Rob Humphreys, the Oyster 56 is admired worldwide for its balance of strength, comfort, seaworthiness and elegant craftsmanship. This particular yacht benefits from significant investment and refit work completed in 2014 and again in 2022–2025, including new standing rigging, lithium battery system, modern navigation electronics, generator replacement, upgraded heating systems, serviced hydraulics and extensive ongoing maintenance.
