Oyster Yachts has announced the latest addition to their fleet, the Oyster 805. The 80-foot superyacht inspired bluewater cruiser marks a bold new era of luxury, versatility and adventure for the British yacht builder.

Sitting between the Oyster 745 and 885 Series II, the Oyster 805 introduces superyacht features and unique customisation to an exceptionally capable bluewater sailing yacht.

Oyster's longstanding partnership with Humphreys Yacht Design continues, with an evolved exterior profile that combines iconic sleek lines with three sets of signature Seascape windows to set her apart from the current range. Larger hull ports and increased window sizes offer uninterrupted views across the horizon, immersing the saloon, master and guest cabins in natural light.

Unparalleled in her class, the 805 features beautifully crafted interiors with versatile layouts and customisation options. Owners can configure the four en-suite cabins to create an on-board home gym, private library, cosy snug or dedicated office. The saloon can also be configured to include a day bar, which provides guests instant access to refreshments and sundowners while maintaining separation from the galley.

On deck, the foredeck's sunken tender well can be transformed into a relaxing chill-out zone. A new daybed integrates into the centre cockpit, which is optionally protected by a fixed, Starlight Bimini, creating an ideal space for alfresco dining. Nestled into the cockpit coamings, newly designed Wing Seats offer the ideal vantage point beside the helm, while aft, a twin-access bathing platform provides effortless access to the water, dock, or tender.

Designed for uncompromising performance, the Oyster 805 combines a powerful sail plan with the latest powered sail handling systems. With a choice of keel options, this new bluewater cruiser can reach remote anchorages beyond the limits of most other superyachts and, at under 24m, she meets Europe's seagrass regulations.

This latest innovation from Oyster Yachts will be produced to order, with the first hull expected in 2027.
