CHAMPAGNE HIPPY is one of the most remarkable yachts sailing the world today. She is hull number 2 of the ever popular Oyster 825 series and is truly unique, being the only yacht in the series to be built with the extended transom and as a four cabin layout, sleeping nine guests and three crew. This phenomenal yacht was rebulit in 2018 and underwent a furtherextensive refit under her new ownership in 2022. Every inch of her has been updated, upgraded and enhanced to offer ultimate comfort as well as world-wide cruising performace. Since her rebuild she has travelled far and wide as a very successful charter yacht. She has crossed the Atlantic six times, spent three winters in the Carribbean, has crusied the Balearics, Greece, Italy, France, and most recently explored the north, sailing the unforgettabe Norwegian fjords. Her extended transom is a masterpiece, creating a vast deck area, a huge amount of volume in her interior, and an immense beach club and storage area. The beach club is accessible from either the transforming ladder style hydraulic passerelle, or the internal deck steps for safe access when under sail. She’s more than just a yacht—she is a statement, a lifestyle, a symbol of adventure, and above all, a legacy. She’s a yacht for those who understand that the greatest journeys are often the ones that begin with a challenge. A yacht for those who appreciate the joy of sailing and the beauty of life on the ocean. For the new discerning owner, CHAMPAGNE HIPPY offers the rare opportunity to own not just a magnificent yacht, but a part of history. She’s a symbol of what’s possible when resilience, vision, and craftsmanship come together to create something truly extraordinary.
