With the new Oyster 805, the British yacht builder redefines what is possible in the sub-24 metre category, blending superyacht-inspired design with true bluewater performance. Every line, every space, and every detail speaks to a vision of sailing that is as luxurious as it is capable.
The Oyster 805 is more than a yacht; it is a new chapter in the brand’s legacy of crafting vessels that can circle the globe in comfort and style. At just under 24 metres, it remains within an attractive size bracket for owners who want the freedom to explore without the logistical complexities of larger yachts. Yet in design and execution, it feels every inch the equal of much bigger vessels. From the moment you step aboard, the sense of space is striking. Expansive flush decks flow seamlessly into a cockpit designed for both relaxation and serious sailing, with innovations like wing seats at the helm that give the skipper and guests perfect views while underway.
Inside the Oyster 805
The interior is bathed in light, thanks to Oyster’s signature Seascape windows and generous hull ports. It is a space designed to be lived in – comfortable on an ocean crossing and equally inviting at anchor in a Mediterranean bay. Owners can configure the four en-suite cabins to suit their lifestyle, with options for a home office, gym, or private library. The main saloon feels like a luxury apartment, with the option to incorporate a dedicated bar to make entertaining effortless.
Choose between different settings.
On deck, versatility is the theme. A transformable tender well can be lowered to the water or turned into a sunken lounge, while a fixed Starlight Bimini provides shade and shelter without obstructing the panoramic views. Under sail, the yacht offers the choice between a standard 3.4-metre keel or a shallower 2.7-metre draft, opening up cruising grounds that are off-limits to deeper-keeled boats.
Beneath the beauty lies serious capability. Built to Lloyd’s Register certification, the Oyster 805 has the strength and stability to handle ocean passages with confidence. Her sail plan delivers performance across a range of conditions, and Oyster’s advanced sail-handling systems make short-handed cruising entirely possible. The Oyster Command system integrates navigation, onboard systems, and entertainment into a single, intuitive platform, controllable from the helm or via the Oyster app. With full satellite and Wi-Fi connectivity, the yacht is as suited to remote working as it is to leisurely island hopping.
Every aspect of the Oyster 805 has been considered with an eye to long-range comfort. From the climate-controlled cabins to the seamless integration of technology and design, it is a yacht that feels as good to live on as it does to sail. The first deliveries are scheduled for 2027, and for those who have been waiting for a yacht that brings superyacht luxury into a manageable, owner-driven package, the wait may just have been worth it.
