It’s time for a fresh Oyster—yacht, that is.
The British shipyard has just unveiled a new 52-foot sailing yacht, taking its total model count up to eight. The current lineup includes bluewater sailers ranging from 50 to 90 feet, with the new Oyster 515 representing the next generation of the entry-level 50-foot range.
Created by Oyster’s in-house team in collaboration with Humphreys Yacht Design, the 515 takes design cues from the award-winning 495, but has a larger sail area, greater volume, more contemporary styling, and a revamped aft deck with a superyacht-style beach club.
“The Oyster 515 builds on the success of the Oyster 495 and everything we have learned from more than 50 years of designing, building and supporting yachts for bluewater sailing,” Oyster CEO Stefan Zimmermann said in a statement. “We have evolved her around how owners want to sail and live today, combining true ocean-going capability with a completely reimagined aft deck, a closer connection to the water and a state-of-the-art beach club experience unlike anything else currently available in this class.”
