Oyster’s 565 Series II updates an established 18.09-metre bluewater cruiser with larger windows, revised living spaces and onboard connected technology. It retains the builder’s focus on long-distance sailing by owners and families rather than claiming that more interior electronics replace seamanship.

A more open view from inside

Oyster’s Series II changes include larger hull ports and seascape windows intended to increase natural light in the saloon and cabins. Revised companionway and saloon steps also aim to improve usable space and movement.

Owners should inspect the actual material and layout choices because photographs can vary by interior theme. The individual order specification establishes equipment, finish and configuration.

Connected but still a sailing yacht

The Oyster App can provide system status, alerts and selected remote switching through the builder’s connected architecture. The yard also highlights access to its customer-care and global service network as part of ownership.

Remote monitoring is a convenience and should not be treated as the primary way of operating critical functions when connectivity fails. Crew need to know the physical controls and procedures aboard.

Dimensions and systems

The official technical sheet lists an 18.09m overall length, 5.13m beam, standard 2.50m draft and 950 litres of fuel. The current engine specification is a 150hp Yanmar, with twin rudders and a sail plan developed for shorthanded management.

The builder describes a versatile layout for up to six guests, with a workroom able to serve as an additional berth on certain passages. A specific yacht’s capacity and certification remain matters for the final build specification.

A refreshed edition available to order

The yard presents Series II as the next chapter of the 565 and identifies a two-year manufacturer warranty with qualifying extensions available. This is an established model profile, not an announcement of an unverified launch or handover today.
