Design and Pedigree The Oyster 56 is widely regarded as one of the most successful yachts ever produced by Oyster, with over 70 built and a long list of notable circumnavigations and bluewater passages. Designed by Rob Humphreys, she combines strong offshore performance with the build quality and finish for which Oyster is known. Sailing Performance and Handling The design delivers fast passage times in safety and comfort, making her a capable offshore passagemaker. ‘Shaya Moya’ is particularly well set up for short-handed sailing, with powered winches, hydraulic sail handling, a bow thruster, and autopilot. As a result, she can be confidently managed by two people, even in demanding conditions. Accommodation and Interior Below deck, the interior is spacious, well finished, and practical for long periods aboard. Accommodation is arranged for six adults, offering comfort and privacy whether cruising with family or guests. The quality of joinery and layout reflects Oyster’s reputation for creating refined, liveable interiors. Ownership and Condition ‘Shaya Moya’ has been extremely well maintained by her current owner, and this shows throughout. She presents as a well-cared-for example of the model, with systems and equipment aligned to serious cruising. Cruising Potential Whether your plans involve coastal cruising, an Atlantic circuit, or more ambitious long-distance voyaging, this Oyster 56 offers a proven and capable platform for extended adventures.
