£4.75 Million Superyacht Tour : 2013 Oyster 885

[@rnichol22]

Whoever said money doesn't by happiness is wrong lol

[@g9rud]

Well you have surpassed yourself here Nick, this has to be the most amazing sailing yacht I have ever seen. Absolutely jaw dropping. Brilliant tour Nick

[@WOW-li4uj]

Never really been a sailing fan, but that was amazing. Your walk through made it feel like walking through a large house. She’s beautifully finished and spacious. I was going to ask why the navigation is so far away from the helm, but when you showed the crew quarters…well I always picture just a couple sailing around the world not a very large boat with a crew! Thanks for that tour!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@philipwalton4877]

I’ve never seen a yacht that could be a charter , an owner run or an owner/crew voyager all in one. That is incredible.. got to be the best boat you’ve had on here Nick 👍

[@davidfmelbourne3473]

This is just one of the most stunning yachts I've seen. I expected it to be good considering the constructor and length, but this exceeded those expectations massively. The galley/crew areas are huge and the entertaining areas just brilliantly laid out. Love the clever layout of the day head where you actually walk through the shower to get to the rest of the bathroom. With all the hydraulics, automation and redundancy it would be perfectly suitable for short-handed trips and yet not be overcrowded with 10 berths all occupied. Great tour as usual Nick.

[@MusicByLaylow]

my dream is to get a boat like this and just live on it and get a crew

[@rtbinc2273]

@@MusicByLaylow That is a lot of people's dream.

[@oysteryachts]

Thank you for your kind words David, we are really proud of the 885 and hope to see many more built in the future!

[@marcmillis3867]

Well for 4.75 millions $ there is not much to talk about. This boat is slow. All the rooms are microscopic but the master. Toilets are microscopic. This boat is slow. Mechanically it's just 1 single 300hp engine. Nothing expensive. I mean for a fraction of the price you can get the best of the best in catamarans. Will be faster, more confortable in every aspect. At around 2 millions $ brand new. Iam not impressed. Not at all..

[@philipclarkson7494]

@@marcmillis3867 You don't know anything about Oyster for one thing this yacht is not slow. Remember it's a sailing yacht, not a motor yacht. The cabins are not small it's obvious again you know nothing about sailing yachts.

[@gregory90211]

You were like a kid at Christmas! I must say, for a sailing yacht, I’ve never seen better! Thank you for the informative tour.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Jagcycle]

It's hard to believe that something like this exists, but to hear they built over 100 of them! Wow! I expected this boat to be a one off for some reason.

[@nicbennett6554]

Simply spectacular!!!!! I’m not surprised you got giddy, as that yacht is absolutely amazing. Probably my favourite tour of every boat you’ve shared with us. Wow!

[@FullFinnoy]

I've started to look actual sailing videos of these monsters. Sad to say there aren't many that would feature proper crossings and life on board of many of these. So, even though these are well capable, I don't believe many of these ever truly sail in the maining of sailing, rather than just sit out there on the dock or moored at a close by lagoon.

[@ryanalley2446]

Wow...this yacht is magnificent!! I love the layout, finishes and overall condition for her age. One of the best sailing yachts you've brought to our screens, thanks Nick!

[@MarkPoppinPringlesleaf]

Wow, I'm actually lost for words. What an incredible yacht. The life of luxury as you sail around the world. Thank you so much Nick for showing us around this beauty

[@gervers]

This is the most incredible yacht I’ve ever seen! Genuinely trans-oceanic/global reach in the utmost luxury! Elegant, capable and magnificent! Thank you for the tour and have a great weekend Nick and everyone!

Sounds like you are selling those yachts :)

[@alisavas9526]

[@oysteryachts]

She really is a true ocean-goer! Thank you for your kind words :)

[@WillowGTI]

I was at this Yacht Show in St Katherines and walked right by this Oyster. Mostly because I know so little about Sailing Yachts. Obv now I wish I popped in to have a peek. What an amazing vessel! Thanks Nick.

[@jasperemmer2774]

Dude just forgets to emphasize how flexible oyster is in designing the layout to the owners needs. The 885 I ran was completely different to this one.

[@grahammoyles2929]

Anybody else notice the grease spot on the headboard in the Captains cabin. I'd ban him from wearing hair gel😂

[@johncollier608]

What a beautiful, beautiul boat. It's so well appointed and laid out. 10 yeears old and still commanding a hefty price tag. Gosh only know what a new one cost. I think you can be forgiven for being giddy - Great video Nick. Thanks for sharing.

[@haydne]

I am blown away by the size below decks, unbelievable. What a brilliant boat and yet another great video!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Many thanks!

[@kennethmacleod111]

Aquaholics have gone next level, just amazing yachts of all classes!

[@seanogden927]

She is a beauty, the interior is fantastic and so well laid out and everything looks brand new. I would love to go for a day out on her. Great tour Nick, thank you.

[@r.a.monigold9789]

One stormy day the clouds parted and from the sky this boat was cast upon the water. Accommodations graced with the beauty of practicality - I find it difficult to take time away from viewing to explain my speechless state. Simply put - this yacht is heavenly. Thank you Nick, et. al. for sharing this walk about in the clouds...

[@glenmorris8389]

Hi Nick, I know absolutely nothing about yachts or sailing, but I found this yacht and it's design and build nothing short of beautiful. Yet another one for my lottery win list. Please stop doing it to me !

[@armyman3666]

How much was this brand new?

[@homedad3324]

You're not the only one who's giddy, I'm only watching it on a cell phone yet I want to be there LOL. What an absolutely beautiful work of art.

[@itwasjammerthatclickedyou2262]

What a magnificent craft. I think I prefer this interior arrangement over the conventional layout of 80 standard yachts. It feels gso warm and inviting. It really got me excited. How wonderful it must be to sail the world aboard this yacht. Thanks Nick for another flawless tour. Always a pleasure. Jerry

[@philipclarkson7494]

Did you know that Oyster arranges with its owners around the world tours with full support by Oyster. Currently, there is a tour going on right now with 30 Oyster yachts btw that is the limit. Some of these owners just buy an Oyster yacht so that they can go around the world with like-minded yacht owners. They are taking reservations for the World Tour 2026 right now. I so wish I had this kind of money, don't you!

[@oysteryachts]

@@philipclarkson7494 absolutely right Philip, the Oyster World Rally is an incredible experience not to be missed! We hope to welcome you on board soon.

[@N330AA]

Oyster has the best interiors for me. The new 495 looks amazing inside.

[@jeremyevans9521]

Wow, what a stunning boat! If you didn't say she was almost 10 years old I would have assumed this was brand new. Thanks for showing her to us!

[@mambi74]

Seen so many used boats reviewed that, even if well looked after and just a few years old, look so tired and dated.. this is one really does look brand new - speaks to its build quality and design/layout... A true beauty. Thanks for this tour Nick!

[@SuperJV4x]

the boat is first rate but those ice cubes are what I would get in a cheap rental apartment freezer. They should be clear, spheres, little gems. I want my 4 mils worth.

[@gedmcmahon619]

Wow! Nick that's up there with the most beautiful vessels you've ever shown us.. breathtakingly beautiful. Thanks for a wonderful tour.

11:50 looks like that dryer door swings the wrong way.

[@Orbiitoclast]

You finally have the sailboat episode! It was 💯% worth the wait

[@Lon1001]

When you said that teak deck was 10 years old my jaw dropped, that yacht has been impeccably maintained, it's gorgeous. Now if I only knew how to sail and had a few million dollars I could live the dream :)

[@philipclarkson7494]

Remember Oyster makes smaller yachts where you don't need millions of dollars while you would have to get your own sailing lessons wouldn't it be worth going on a world tour.

[@jackiechandler6590]

You can tell the kids haven’t been on the boat in a while because that’s an Xbox 360

Wow it's just a majestic Nick Sir. Huge boat ⛵... Looks stunning and spacious.. and looking Dashing I'm White's Sir

[@mepilot1]

One of the best yacht's you have reviewed so far in my opinion. Love how sailing yachts always give priority to function. And love the understated class with none of that pretentiousness that can sometimes come with high end yacht's. That's a life transforming vessel. So glad you were able to get this opportunity to review this thought, Nick. You so deserve it. Hope you and Marriane are enjoying this lovely weekend. Cheers to you both.

[@derranstokes8760]

Absolutely amazing yacht Nick. Thank you for the tour of your next boat.

as an interior designer , architecture wise we have done everything , the worl of design is in a dead end right now , but in the world of yatchs , caravans it is just starting..This small space luxury solutions and blending it with technogy snd innovation is blowing my mind !! Wish I was in the industry ❤

[@gsadventures678]

Nick, you sounded like a kid on Christmas morning showing this beauty and I loved every minute of it!

[@asinterestingaspossible7836]

I need to save for a yacht like this for a couple of million years

[@Englishelectrictype4]

Yet another amazing video, I honestly didn't know sail boats could be that awesome and I can certainly see why you were eager to get one on! The space and finish on that were unbelievable especially as you say nearly a decade old. I wish we could age that well ha ha.

[@reefwiz99]

It's nice, I understand the allure. But why do sailboats ALWAYS have a more primitive interior than a Motor yacht? Even high dollar Perini Navi yachts have that same 'sailboat" interior? Someone tell them to make the interior feel like a Princess or Sunseeker.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

As ever, it's customer demand. Sailboat buyers tend to be a little more traditional in their tastes.

[@RJMCafe]

After looking at probably 100 Aquaholic videos this is my #1. If someone wanted to have a complete change of pace and get away from the world this boat is unbeatable.

[@1Kent]

That engine room was huge.

[@irishterminator.]

Hey Nick I have to say Wow that has got to be the ultimate go anywhere yacht you have shown us and it looks like new so as you said it has been incredibly looked after by it's owners (the lady in the frame looks very regal) Happy Friday to you bud

I always love the videos, and this is definitely an interesting watch!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you like them!

[@davidhunternyc1]

If I owned this boat I would ask the owner if I could keep the name of the boat, "Clare," which is a testament to his mother. Then, just inside the cabin there's a photo of Clare, which must stay with the boat too. People, we are here on this Earth for each other. Without Clare, the owner would never exist nor would we have seen this video. OMG, it's just so touching that a son would name his yacht after his mum. Please, whoever buys this jewel, please don't change a thing.

[@growlkitty]

That's very noble of you. I would rename her though; I'd call her, "Fake Shark."

[@thetimsalaproject]

Nah! Im naming it "Sea Bitch!"

[@ross82]

The owner might want to name his next boat Clare, you wouldn’t deny him that would you.

[@davidhunternyc1]

@@ross82 That's true too. Can we have two boats named Clare? Moms are everywhere and do everything all at once.

[@ross82]

@@davidhunternyc1 if she’s a registered ship then the names have to be unique under that flag (most countries), so I guess his next boat could be “Clare II”.

The only wish I would have as an owner of an Oyster, is that the cockpit design would allow for improved comparison with the Jeanneau 55-65.

[@SuperJV4x]

'forced ventilation' sounds so aggressive

[@manuelvanderslikke680]

Hi Nick , What a crazy beautiful sail boat this is the Oyster 885 one of th biggest in her range single mast Wow and the size of the mast great also the crew space are very nice in compare with the guest rooms I hope you bring us more off these nice sailing boats in this year Thank you Nick this is a great show again

[@AnthonyAlger4700]

It is a very nice boat....but... I'm surprised at the garage design.. I figured on a boat that size the garage would be more like the H.R. 69.. I do like how many guests you can fit on this boat...the engine room was very impressive.. so many great boats.. but so far it appears the H.R. 69 has the best cruising speed... But I think it's about $1M USD more than this boat... maybe.. it's been 10 years so maybe the price is different now? Thanx for the tour..

[@svshootingstar]

They DEFINATELY DID NOT "build over a hundred of these". In their production run from 2012-2019 they built ten 885's. Jeeeez - Don't just make stuff up.

[@kevinbanham2429]

This yacht is spectacular on every level what a beautiful boat thank you very much for the tour Nick. Definitely a good day at the office for you.

Clare lives in our marina over winter so very interesting to see inside. Great video.

Was that a typo/mis-speak? The mast is 40 meters tall? That's 131 feet tall. That doesn't look 131' tall. Just asking.... Greetings from Texas.... John B

Well that's the asking price for the used one here. What is the new-built-price for an Oyster 885 SII. I guess 8-9 million Euros.

[@thedeathlyhallows8087]

Hopefully next year I will be talking to Oyster about the 885is for my family. I have looked at and experienced some of their competition, but I keep on gravitating back to Oyster and in particular the 885.

[@shinshishi1]

I love sailboat but i don't like the waste of space of this ship: 1) charting table in the wrong direction. 2) Kitchen isn't small, but because space is not well organized, look small. 3) Dinette with 2 steps and far from the kitchen, is a waste of time and space. No i not have this money, but for the first time, i don't care. And the last but not the least, there is a lot of space waste on the cover rear. My apologize for the grammar error or wrong word, but English isn't my first language.

[@fazzaz31]

A stunning technological achievement, to be sure. I know that the hydraulic winches cost more each than a typical SUV, but the interior design leaves me absolutely cold. I spent a good deal of my early life in so-called "modern" homes and I was never comfortable. Not a mermaid carving in sight, alas. If I have to sail, give me a Chinese junk or a Turkish gulet every time.

[@markjessurun7765]

[@stephensalt6787]

An exceptional yacht but I’d rather have a “typical Nordhaven” to borrow someone else’s saying. Good review Nick.

[@FighterFred]

Nice vessel, high quality. Two cons; the multi-level layout and the price. For that kind of money you can get a very nice catamaran, one-level and much more room. Or a custom Dutch monohull i aluminium.

[@ricardolordelo3881]

From 50ft up to 24m LLL, Oysters are tough to beat. Specially right under the 24m LLL.
