Every time I step onboard an OYSTER I understand more of what it means when craftsmanship can lead to perfection. Oyster yachts are what dreams are made of and this Oyster 565 is no exception, just perfection.

Been following your channel for a short time. I like how your commentary elaborate on what we are seeing on camera. IE details we might otherwise have missed - great way of the narrator adding to the visual story. Thank you for getting a better camera, it is very noticeable. Your attention to design details shows you are a proper sailor - and IMHO adds huge value and back up your reviews. Almost forgot - that Oyster is a stunning yacht 🙂

Thank you for your words, Yes the new camera is helping and is going to take time to get used to but I think by the time we get to Palma everything will be in 4K for you guys, I love Oysters and have done since I was a child so when I get the chance to step onboard it's always fun. There will be more content coming from Oyster and us soon,

To be honest, I still haven't got used to you being on a boat in a exhibition hall. You are the kind of guy perfect for an actual seatrial.

Imagine what an experience it might be to lock off the wheel and sit there in comfort to play the main through the puffs on a breezy day, then saunter down to that salon after dropping the hook for an overnighter. The interior is drop-dead gorgeous and I really like the owner's choices in materials on this example. I'd replace that nav station with a proper whiskey lounger ;^) but otherwise this yacht is indeed perfection. Tip for other dreamers - the configurator over at Oyster's website has plenty more eye candy.

Great review as always! Every time I see an Oyster I feel like I'm being tempted by the devil. The angel on my shoulder says, too much reliance on hydraulics so what happens if they break, too much teak deck to take care of, no solar panels, soft spray hood does not offer as good protection as a hard one, steep steps into saloon. But then the devil on the other shoulder says, look how beautiful she is inside and out, how fun and easy she is to sail, how seaworthy she is, and hey, if something breaks, Oyster will be there to fix it no matter where you are. Tough choice. PS. Cedar didn't stop the Italian infestation. 😂

Listen to the little devil and step into the light you know you want one, who wouldn't? As you point out, Oyster has one of the best global services to fix any issue, so take the plunge and buy your heart's desire. Ah, the Italians were fun and provided a few laughs.

@constantinealexandrakis 3 ай бұрын

Haha, thanks for the smiles. Allors, j'ai une question pour toi. If you can't answer it because you're in a delicate position I understand but I'm really curious to know what you think. If money was not at all an issue, you wanted to sail around the world (though a northwest passage was not high on your list) sometimes as a couple and sometimes with family or friends but without crew for an extended period of time (1 year or more) and your choice was between the Garcia Exploration 60 or an Oyster, which would you choose? And if you would go for an Oyster, would it be the 565, 595, or 675?

@SVTONICBoatWives 3 ай бұрын

@@constantinealexandrakis we are in a difficult spot but I will answer anyway, if I was going on a proper expedition (and the north west passage, Cape Horn etc are big on my bucket list it would be Garcia, Allures, Alubat or boréal etc) anything aluminum and in the 50ft range as for us that’s big enough to manage short handed or with extra crew. So here is the difficulty when it comes to GRP boats in the 50-60ft range because there is some hard choices and compromise’s to be made. I will put the question back to you as your choice would say be between Oyster 595, Amel 60, the new Contest 63 ( boat tour coming soon) I won’t put in HR as they are in their own space. So three shipyards with similar sailboats ready for short handed blue water cruising where would you like to take them? And what sort of adventure are you looking for?

@constantinealexandrakis 3 ай бұрын

Thank you so much for your candor. So, let me say outright that I'm not rich lol. But I daydream (in between grading lol) what I would do if I won the lottery. Obviously it depends on how old I would be but my dream is to retrace the trips of famous navigators of history (going as far back as Jason and the argonauts), record them and edit them with historical and current travel info about the places visited, maybe add a bit of scuba too, to inspire a younger generation of explorers (Like Jacques Yves Cousteau inspired us). But I also have a lot of family and friends so I would want something big enough for 6-8 to travel comfortably. Hence I would look into a 60 footer. Most likely I would opt for either the standard or family version of the Exploration 60 (not the version you reviewed) but such a big boat with so many sails and lines scares me and that's where the Oyster 595 with its simple rig and hydraulics (plus luxury as i get older) comes in. I know that it would be one of the two but I would have very hard time deciding between them.

@@constantinealexandrakis I like you grew up dreaming of exploring the world, I lived on stories like Jason and the Argonauts, Captain Scot and many pirate stories. The Idea of discovering new lands or visiting ancient cultures I read about in books at school filled my dreams, but as you understand the choice of boat is a hard one and one made mostly by your heart and not your head.😁 my advice would be if you want a 60ft you would be better with a 50ft and I say this because the only boats left in the marina 365 days of the year are the big ones people brought, and in the end were too scared to take out sailing. I don't know your sailing history or your family but I know I am capable of skippering a large yacht I just wouldn't want to all year round. That is why I think yachts like Oyster or Amel hit the mark so well and HR in their own way, they give you a comfortable, safe and spacious platform to explore the world. Don't get me wrong Garcia will give you this and more. I like to look at Garcia and other brands like that, as the ultimate 4x4 of the ocean with the Interia of a Mercedes. You are capable of fixing the systems yourself as it is part of the experience of owning an expedition-style yacht, but Oyster is British, like a good RR so no matter where you go you will turn up well-dressed, relaxed and in style, and if something breaks you call your man and he gets the job done. Buy the boat for you and your partner, and if your friends and family want to come along from time to time, then that's great they will discover why so many of us love to be on the ocean, but buy the boat for you let your heart help and give Oyster a ring. I am sure they will find a way to help your dream become a reality and if you asked me which Oyster I would buy it would be 565 as it is my wife young daughter and myself 95 percent of the time. 😇🙃

One thing missing from most yacht reviews is comment about about the hull structure and build. Not all hulls are made the same, some infused, some not. Some vinyl ester, some epoxy. Some all carbon, or carbon reinforced, some only GRP. Big differences. Worthy of comment I think. But otherwise really enjoy your reviews - you evidently have substantial sailing experience. R

We all dream about what should we have, Oyster, HR ect, ect. When I win the lottery, I will be giving Hallberg a call. Meanwhile, thanks to Jeremy Rogers, I will have an uncomfortable wet season as usual. Heating, air con, hot water, bloody luxury. I will dream of blue water destinations as I punch a Solent tide with a smile on my face. Good tour, and it's good to have a review from somebody who obviously has done some proper sailing. 😊

Fab all round but of course you have to pay the hefty price tag. I do like the fact it doesn't have a dinghy garage, I do think they are incorporating them in too smaller a boat these days and you lose so much space. Really great nav station and I for one would love a video on one of them if Oyster agree.

@SVTONICBoatWives 3 ай бұрын

We are talking with Oyster so there will definitely be more coming from them this year, I am on the same page as you when it comes to dinghy garages, unfortunately, a lot of production boat companies have adopted the garage as a way of marketing their yachts to make them seem bigger than they are.

Them windows for eggs ample, lend a whole nouveau deco with barred undertones of redemption and a wrong side of teh tracks backstory. Thanks for the upload. Have to start saving.
