Designed for everyone

The Oyster 885 has been designed Humphreys as the perfect solution for those who seek to share the pleasure of cruising with their family and friends. First introduced in 2012, the distinctly social design and broad appeal of the 885 has also shown these magnificent yachts to be popular charter options, allowing owners to cover a significant portion of running costs. By optimising her size to the full limit of the MCA 24m Load Line Length watershed, the somewhat more onerous and costly requirements involved before offering any larger yacht for charter are avoided.

Under Sail

The hull of the Oyster 885 is balanced and powerful, with a fairly fine entry that helps the boat cleave through a seaway with excellent Vmg, and at the same time the stern is relatively broad to deliver a high level of form stability and an off-wind potential that will rattle away the miles in any Trade Wind passage. The Oyster 885 has a twin rudder configuration and for slick manoeuvring in harbour, she's fitted with both stern and bow thrusters. With the option to specify either a deck saloon or raised saloon layout, the Oyster 885 is a graceful and exciting yacht, with many enviable features.

Spacious Accommodation

The spacious accommodation is attractively fitted out with every luxury and practical live-aboard feature one could imagine. In addition to the sumptuous owner’s stateroom, which features glazed panels across the upper section of the aft bulkhead, maximising light and enhancing the spatial qualities of the cabin, there are three very comfortable en suite guest cabins, one of which can be configured as a study or lower saloon area. There are two crew cabins with their own galley with mess, ensuring privacy for all guests.

Among the 885’s many attractions are her huge, ergonomically designed split cockpit – perfect for al fresco dining and relaxation on passage – and her large, open deck areas, which include a fabulous ‘terrace on the sea’ with direct access from the owner’s stateroom.

I was looking for a boat suitable for deep-sea sailing that could be very comfortable and also allow for long voyages, possibly around the world. I wanted a boat that met all these requirements within the Oyster range. Actually, the choice was quite easy."
