The PERFECT Monohull to SAIL THE WORLD? [Full Tour] Learning the Lines

[@andrewlabat9963]

The world would open up to you in this beautiful, go everywhere, Oyster..

[@metalupman]

My friend thanks for this tour. I WANT this boat. It's just amazing. I will make this my life goal. Thanks for all you do!!

[@richardspacetimeuhrensamml4236]

Ein wunderbares Boot, gratuliere zu dem gesamt Design. Mit dieser Segel Jacht wird es eine Freude die Meere zu Erkunden 🌝

[@davidhutchinson5233]

Oyster's are right up there with Nautor Swans. Gorgeous boats and incredible craftsmanship. Thanks for the video. And honestly, 750K isn't bad for an Oyster sailing yacht.

[@ccka1970]

Oh my, what a beautiful 😍 yaught

[@treywest268]

Beautiful boat and great presentation on the video!!! I think you may have missed the single berth in the sta-brd aft utility room. It appears that there is a sleeping area just above the lower cabinets.

[@svechappe6075]

The early 2000's Oyster 56 is a classic. Beautiful boat.

[@loripeaceandlove6391]

Oh my gosh, that boat is absolutely beautiful. And thanks for the sponsor for today. I’m gonna go on and check that out for my daughter. PeaceAndLove Lori

[@scyz2807]

No doubt this is an outstanding sailboat! Wow.

[@BillyBobDingledorf]

I'm a sucker for a blue hull.

[@bos6782]

Beautiful boat, thanks for the tour.

[@RockDocNeal]

The en-suite in the aft owner’s suite has a bidet…….I’m sold!

[@williamstreet4304]

Unlike Luke, I would not opt for a catamaran. I just love the way monohulls respond to the wind and the helm. I absolutely love the saloon of an Oyster. They are amazing. But I would not compare them to Nator Swans. The Oysters are a bit heavier and have more protected rudders. And the Swans will sail circles around the Oysters because of their light weight and strong rigs. Oyster or Swan? I'd take either in the 56 version. And I wouldn't worry about most weather or sea state.

[@MrDavedraver888]

one for me & one for the wife !!!! NICEEE BOAT

[@lukehayvaz9194]

The Oyster is the top of my list of monohulls but if I had enough money for an Oyster I would probably buy a catamaran.

[@TheKruner1]

Oyster is the rolls royce of sailing yachts .... absolutely nothing in the world is better.......

[@VonBluesman]

Beautiful boat. It looks like a very high quality solid built vessel. Unfortunately I am around $600,000.00 short. Can you help me out as it won’t be long and I will be running out of time too. LOL 😂

[@tmsact]

My dream!!

[@jefflloyd394]

Too much for me but nice to dream. Thanks !

[@dukedoker8899]

probably the best nav station I've seen,might have missed it but listing fuel and water tan capacity is always helpful.Either way I'll take it,will you take a post dated check and a couple of iou's.One other suggestion,it would have been nice to see the view from inside out those large cabin windows.Lastly,your presentation's all seem a little dry,try interjecting a little humor into your delivery!Otherwise well done and congratulations and best wishes to you and your partner,as young parents beginning a great adventure!

[@dutchglobetrotter4513]

The Oyster 56 has a 1000 liters of fuel and water storage.

[@mikemendes7598]

Base price on a new Oyster 565 is $1.9M US, at today's exchange rate. You could reasonably expect to add at least another $200K - $300K in upgrades and add-on equipment. $750K for a well sorted used boat, even one that is 17 years old, doesn't seem that bad. I DO NOT understand owners who won't completely tidy up the boat for a video shoot! Remove the cushions, make sure everything is in it's proper place, etc. Saying it's "on the hard for the winter" seems lazy to me. If you want top dollar, you better make it look like it's worth it!

[@stallion78]

Yeah but for $750k I can think of many other vessels that are just as good or better and still have half the money left over

[@iainhunneybell]

Interesting comparison to the Discovery 55, but then both Ron Holland designs

[@svechappe6075]

Ron Holland knows how to draw a boat.

[@mountaindweller9118]

Great boat! But.....this boat on YW shows engine hours at 4868- which is a lot of engine hours for a $750K boat IMO. Not sure why your specs show 2381 though. Enjoyed the review.

[@karaDee2363]

Wow, such a fantastic price!.. I'd like to buy 2, one for the East coast and one for the West Coast...lol

[@id10tcertified]

Buy four, one for each foot too.

[@rtbinc2273]

Great to see you back. Hope everything is going well for you guys. Beautiful boat. I will assume the price is negotiable. The fact it wasn't covered effects the price and the RIB is at least deflated. I always wonder what's the story of the boat. It looks like someone put it up expecting to come back and didn't. I also wonder what about the personal effects on the boat? If you want you can check out Sailing Zingaro for an other Oyster yacht. His is different.

[@jfarmer1711]

I think Zingaro is a 485 as is Sailing Yacht Talisan, both good channels featuring Oysters.

[@fernandoec6587]

If price is the oumost important issue when buying a boat, why nos disclose it straight forward? Just a thought

[@RobbieBobbie98]

Beautiful boat but I think if blue water cruising was the goal and for much cheaper I’d apt for a Amel Super Maramu for around $200,000 to $300,000

[@miketybring4700]

I agree, l like the engine in the C/C area on the Amel as well as many other features they offer standard.

[@robertfrawley1433]

Are used to clean a boat in downtown Chicago. It was by Navy pier name of the boat was Princess nice to clean the same exact one or something similar to that they sold your book about two years ago.

[@robertfrawley1433]

The way out inside looks exactly the same

[@deepeddysf]

It looks well maintained. Engine, woodwork, newer b&g instruments etc. The small shaded outdoor space on center cockpit boats of this vintage is a major compromise tho.

[@svechappe6075]

I agree, Jordan has a strong preference for center cockpit designs due to safety priorities, but at some point a boat gets big enough that an aft cockpit boat is sufficiently secure and you have a lot more outdoor space to live in. Our aft cockpit boat, at 54 feet and built in 2005, has a cockpit that is just as secure as any center cockpit design, but we enjoy at least double the space (probably more like triple) of a similar size center cockpit boat. When you consider that we spend most of our non-sleeping time in the cockpit, that's a big plus over the center cockpit designs, in my opinion.

[@RickMentore]

This in not so awful an asking price, when one take into consideration what a new Oyster of similar dimensions cost. A further investment of say 20 K in modernization and cleanup, renders this practically a new Boat!

[@robertfontaine3650]

A lot of boat for the money but starting to feel a little dated. 750k will get you a pretty amazing newer 40 footer though. Someone will love it.

[@penguinpringles]

A jet wash before videoing would have been a smart move. Lazy system 2 thinking

[@Eddybarrett84]

Get an AMEL for 1/2 the asking price… and for 750k boat should be spotless

[@id10tcertified]

Even in Aussie $'s it's a bit rich but I s'pose at 56' nothing half decent is cheap and the fit and finish of Oyster's will suit the most OCD of us all just trailers and the same inside layout

[@Truckingskills101]

I'll tell ya, for $750K one can obtain a lot more boat. I've been looking at pre-owned Amel's and I find them to be even more seaworthy than this boat and at this price point the used Amel market has some VERY nice boats.

[@cappymac3136]

It is impresive but 700K+???. There are numerous options in a declining sellers market.

[@reellove6710]

What's not to love?

[@atxsailor452]

They need to detail it out if they want to compete at that price point!

[@svechappe6075]

Nothing a $10,000 detail work order with the boatyard wouldn't fix.

[@FixNewsPlease]

I found the typo. (20150!

[@craiggrocott7559]

No water staining anywhere, not even on the sole or lower cabinets.

[@jameswesthart5873]

Doesn't look much used on the interior. Counter tops could use an upgrade. Up top?

[@ArtHelm]

You are so impressed that someone let you on their Oyster. You are shouting praises for this boat without even surveying it first.

[@dap777754]

Very nice; Oyster's have a fine reputation. However, if my goal was to sail the Seven Seas, with a family, a stouter, more bulletproof and ultimately safer boat would be my preference. Needs a longer keel, needs better protection for the rudder from flotsam and jetsam. Sure, a quick sail to Bermuda, cruise the Grenadines. But sailing the world? The Roaring Forties? I doubt that's what this vessel is really intended for.

[@dutchglobetrotter4513]

Trust me (well you don't have to) the 56 is a strong fast and reliable boat. I crew on one and they can absolutely go anywhere.

[@bertohlsson6921]

If you say storage again I'll scream!😢

[@stallion78]

James from sailing zingaro has an older version of this. Has so many through holes he nearly sunk it. I do like these but hate that they have those dinky keels Dude you’re starting to look like Hanson

[@dutchglobetrotter4513]

Zingaro is a 485 way smaller than the 56

[@ripharwood4138]

I used to consider Oysters custom sailboats but now they’re just higher end production yachts. I’m not saying that’s bad, but they’re no longer custom. They’re well designed but the detail quality and execution just isn’t what it used to be.

[@dutchglobetrotter4513]

Hmm yes, but no. Every Oyster is custom build. You can choose whatever you want on a new build except the placement of bulkheads and the shape of the hull.

[@michaelmurawka5730]

750k!!! No way! Most people watching your videos are not close to buying a sailboat at this price!

[@Gannigur]

1:45 in - Doesnt someone clean the shit?

[@Wv8675]

Nice bronco in the parking lot

[@sicchuckie]

Not a full keel 😢

[@dylankrivoshein8651]

His buddy bet him he couldn’t say aft 300 times in the first 4 minutes of this video

[@kaufmanjeffreys]

I think I fault the owners for the sloppy presentation…. I think 750k is a bit much to ask but I am sure it wn’t last long.

[@susanl435]

Why are you showing us $750,000 boats? Why not show us $75,000 boats!

Because once in a while it's fun just to dream 😊

You buy shares in undercapitalized businesses that you’re confident will grow. This is how the money is made to afford a yacht.

[@P-J-W-777]

Don’t understand why a boat this small is worth more than most homes especially being a 2006. As we all know it’s a boat and a nice boat but it’s still a used boat and will require quit a bit of work to get it back into tip top shape. Possibly a few newer instruments.The sails will probably need to be replaced and if not most likely within the next few years. It’s a really nice boat with lots of great equipment but it isn’t a super yacht. I just don’t see and don’t understand the 750k price tag.

[@davidbrayshaw3529]

Most homes come with a wife. This yacht doesn't, hence the high price.

[@P-J-W-777]

@@davidbrayshaw3529 Please don’t misunderstand me. I wasn’t trying to talk crap about the boat it is a really nice used sail boat and looks to be well cared for. I love boats and have been on many lakes but unfortunately I’ve never had the privilege or pleasure of getting to be on a boat in the ocean. I watch tons of sailing videos and enjoy every aspect of getting to see what’s it like. “Land Based” Houses require maintenance as well and sometimes lots of it. I’ve also met plenty of wives that can be pretty darn expensive too. Knowing what I know about building homes and what goes into them. Because of that I don’t really understand how a new or used sail boat or even a 45 foot motor yacht can cost more than a 500 thousand dollar land based home. With that said I hope that will get the chance to sail on the ocean before my health gets the best of me.

[@davidbrayshaw3529]

@@P-J-W-777 I wasn't taking it that you were talking crap, I was merely having a laugh. There are a few reasons that I can think of that make yachts more expensive than homes, cubic foot per cubic foot, shall we say. Sales volume for one. Materials quality is another. Look at the timbers used in boat building as compared to house building. Not only is there no MDF, the solid timbers used are "A" grade and come at a premium price. Composites are also very expensive. Most contemporary yacht hulls require expensive moulds to be produced and they only get used "X" number of times. There's also plant to consider. A yacht takes up a lot of space while it's being built and someone's got to pay the rent on it. Then there's labour to consider. Everything, and I mean everything, on a yacht takes much longer to achieve than on a house. Nothing is straightforward. You can't just stand up a stud wall, put a spirit level on it and shoot a couple of nails into the corners to keep it standing, then clad and drywall it. You might as well throw your spirit level and string line in the bin. Just about everything is a compound shape that requires extensive measuring up and tuning up templates for an exact fit. Nothing is square and plumb. If you ever get a chance, stick your head through the door of a boat builder's workshop. It will fascinate you if you've got experience building.

[@brownnoise357]

Loveky boat for sone. Not for me though, as Centre Cockpit and Ketch rigged boats Mostly due to disability the majority I can't even get on or off them from a dinghy, plus both seriously Suck for Solar Panel installations and mean oretty much having to have another heavy maintenance and running expense Generator (frequently the Centre Cockpit boats seriously Suck below decks in hot places, they get like Compartmentalised Ovens in living and sleeping spaces, plus the Cockpits themselves are seriously lacking as outdoor living living spaces at Anchorvin Hot places as well. Plus, so many have really steep companionways withnlotsvif steps, so how fast are you going to get fed up with Skinned and bruised Shins and knees from going up and down them ? Safer for children, or are Centre Cockpits just really boring for children with no practical Safety advantage for children or anyone else over an aft Cockpit Boat ? Actually there is one CC Boat I've seen recently, which if younger and not disabled, I think I could enjoy living with. But it's not made by Oyster, and it isn't stupidly oversized, it's a Hunter 45 (always a very good idea to keep below 50ft unless rolling in money, as costs skyrocket from 50ft and up. Best wishes and Fair Winds. Bob. 👍⛵️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

One of the last 'liveable' Oysters! Now, they look like a Ritz London flat. No sense of curves- everything square with dimmable light switches everywhere.
