  1. Oyster Announces Sale of First Oyster 118-foot Sailing Yacht
    Oyster expands their model range once again and is now offering a 118-foot platform. Of course it bares the same lines you are accustomed to from Oyster with a bit more sleek thrown into the mix. The yacht is a direct result of a collaboration between Oyster and Humphreys Yacht Design. Not only is it a new design developed but the first hull of the new design has been sold! “For this new project we are creating female tooling and additional construction facilities to enable building the second Oyster 118 overlapping with the first, such that we can produce up to four of this new addition to our range before summer 2020.”

    A new evolution of the Oyster/Humphreys plumb bowed, soft chined, twin rudder designs, the 35-meter super yacht Oyster 118 has grown naturally from the initially planned Oyster 115. The resulting profile is sleek with modest freeboard gently sheered and dressed with Oyster’s signature seascape hull windows and G5 teardrop glazing to the deck saloon. The integral bimini, an enclosable sedan hard top, is distinctly new, and elegantly interweaves guest cockpit and accommodation which, belying that low profile, provides an astonishing 700m3 interior space for her twelve guests supported by six crew. That’s ten times the volume of the Oyster 475. The entertaining space alone is almost 11×7-meters including the guest cockpit 4.5-meters square. Built to demanding DNV classification and MCA LY3 coding, there’s much that’s innovative in the design engineering including the mid-boom, single-point mainsheet penetrating the bimini top to run down through the glazed but carbon reinforced saloon entry bulkhead to the captive winch deep in the boat. Further complex design work includes a gullwing escape hatch from engine room to deck opening out of the glazed sides of the superstructure.
