Oyster Yachts Oyster 885 Series II
About this yacht
The Oyster 885 Series II represents a compelling vision of bluewater cruising at its finest—a 27-meter sailing yacht that transforms ocean passages into experiences of genuine pleasure and adventure. Since 2013, Oyster Yachts has refined this design into a vessel that balances exhilarating performance with luxurious comfort. Her CE Category A certification confirms her capability for extended offshore voyages, while her fiberglass construction ensures both strength and reliability across any ocean. **Designed for the World's Most Remote Anchorages** This performance cruiser offers exceptional versatility through three keel configurations: centreboard, T-keel, or standard fixed keel. Each option pairs with an optimized sail plan that delivers responsive handling and impressive passage-making speeds. Twin rudders provide precise control, while the carbon rig with Park Avenue boom combines durability with elegant functionality. Hydraulic systems throughout—from sail controls to bow and stern thrusters—make handling this capable bluewater yacht surprisingly intuitive, even in challenging conditions. The Oyster 885GT variant elevates performance further with a lead T-keel and enhanced rig specifications, appealing to those who seek both cruising comfort and competitive capability. **Spaces That Connect You to the Sea** The expansive split cockpit serves as the yacht's social center, protected by a generous bimini and sprayhood. Eight guests gather comfortably around the multifunctional table, with refreshments close at hand from the integrated refrigerator. Panoramic views create an immersive connection with your surroundings, whether crossing oceans or anchored in secluded bays. Beyond the cockpit, this sailing yacht reveals multiple entertaining zones. The sunken foredeck tender well transforms into an intimate lounge with optional bimini and entertainment system. The wide aft deck provides generous sunbathing space, while the hydraulic bathing platform offers direct access to water sports and doubles as an unexpected venue for alfresco dining. **Accommodation Built for Extended Voyaging** Four ensuite guest cabins provide genuine comfort for up to 14 guests. The full-width owner's suite establishes a luxurious standard, featuring exceptional headroom, walk-in shower, electric flush toilet, and cedar-lined wardrobes. Deep mattresses, touchscreen climate controls, and Oyster's proprietary mood lighting system create an environment that rivals the finest shore-side accommodations. Dedicated quarters for four crew—complete with separate galley, mess, and captain's cabin—enable a level of service that transforms this cruising sailboat into an ideal charter platform. At just under 24 meters, the Oyster 885 Series II avoids the regulatory complexities that burden larger yachts while maintaining all the advantages of professional crew support. **Iconic Oyster Design, Refined** The deck saloon styling is unmistakably Oyster—wraparound windows, triple Seascape glazing, extended bowsprit, and flush teak decks create both visual elegance and practical functionality. Available in raised split-level or standard deck saloon configurations, the design reflects collaboration between Oyster's in-house studio and Humphreys Yacht Design, resulting in ergonomic helm positions and safe, clutter-free movement throughout. Lloyd's Register certification of hull and deck construction provides confidence in the yacht's structural integrity, confirming her capability to safely navigate the world's most demanding waters. **Technology That Enhances, Never Complicates** The comprehensive navigation station serves as both command center and work-aboard space, housing Oyster Command™—an intuitive digital system that integrates entertainment, utilities, lighting, and monitoring functions. Advanced soundproofing throughout ensures tranquility below decks, while wireless audio, customizable lighting, and optional infotainment systems adapt to your preferences. The 276-liter-per-hour watermaker ensures abundant fresh water supply. Climate control comes via forced air ventilation and a 100,000 BTU reverse-cycle system fitted throughout. The galley features induction hob, fan oven, microwave, dishwasher, and laundry facilities—everything required for extended independence from shore facilities. **Craftsmanship You Can See and Feel** More than 50 years of building exceptional bluewater cruisers informs every detail of the Oyster 885 Series II. Handcrafted cabinetry showcases beautiful hardwoods running throughout the interior. Even behind the scenes, carefully labeled cables and accessible systems reflect the pride and precision of Oyster's master craftspeople. This sailing yacht represents what happens when design, engineering, and traditional boatbuilding skills converge—a vessel equally suited to circumnavigation, family adventures, or charter operations. The Oyster Yachts Oyster 885 Series II doesn't just promise capability; it delivers the platform for experiences that transform how you understand sailing.
