Built for the discerning sailor who demands both performance and luxury, this cruising sailboat delivers exceptional versatility whether circumnavigating or coastal cruising.

Electric winches positioned within easy reach ensure effortless sail handling, while the optional hydraulic bathing platform transforms stern access for swimming or tender operations. Below deck, the Oyster 565 maximizes its generous beam to create surprisingly spacious accommodations. The master cabin aft benefits from signature Seascape windows that flood the space with natural light, while guest cabins feature luxury mattresses, cedar-lined wardrobes, and en-suite facilities. The longitudinal galley comes fully equipped with full-sized appliances, gimbled stove, and ample storage for extended passages. Technology integration enhances every aspect of life aboard this performance cruiser. The Oyster Command digital switching system controls lighting, entertainment, and monitoring from touchscreens at the helm and navigation station. Optional upgrades include air conditioning, watermaker, internet connectivity, and sophisticated entertainment packages. Safety and seaworthiness define every element of construction. Lloyd's Register certification validates the reinforced composite structure, while retractable bow and stern thrusters provide precise maneuvering in tight quarters. Extensive deck storage includes a full-width lazarette and forward sail locker for all cruising essentials. From the flush teak decks to the handcrafted cabinetry, this sailboat demonstrates Oyster's commitment to exceptional build quality and attention to detail.
