The Oyster 68, designed by the renowned studio Holman and Pye, represents the perfect balance between robustness, comfort, and ocean-going capability. This unit, available in used condition, is currently located in Roda de Berà, Tarragona, a strategic enclave of the Mediterranean that facilitates both coastal and offshore routes, ideal for those looking to embark on great adventures from a well-connected port with excellent nautical services.

With a length of 20.57 meters, a beam of 5.26 meters, and a draft of 2.1 meters, this sailboat offers generous dimensions that translate into a solid and comfortable sailing experience. The structure has been specially reinforced to withstand extreme conditions, such as those of Cape Horn and Patagonia, incorporating an extra 25mm foam insulation throughout the hull, ensuring thermal comfort and safety during long passages in cold and challenging areas.

The reputation of Oyster as a manufacturer is unquestionable: their sailboats are distinguished by their longevity, reliability, and high-quality finishes. The 68 model, in particular, is appreciated by offshore sailors who value construction robustness and versatility. This sailboat features two Mercedes diesel engines, providing confidence and maneuverability in all conditions, and has an interior helm station with excellent visibility, designed to offer shelter and control in adverse weather conditions.

The deck, recently renovated with new teak, stands out for its spaciousness and ease of movement, thanks to the abundance of handrails and safety-oriented details. Recent refits also include a new bimini, dodger, and covers, as well as improvements to the propellers and standing rigging, reflecting updated and careful maintenance. The cutter rig with electric furling for both the mainsail and the staysail and genoa facilitates sail handling, even solo or with a reduced crew, and provides a versatile setup for different wind conditions.

The interior surprises with exquisite cabinetry that runs throughout all spaces. The master cabin, located aft, offers a double bed, three additional berths, and an ensuite bathroom, creating a private and spacious environment for the owner. The central salon, bathed in light and with great height, integrates an extendable teak table, U-shaped sofa, and a fully equipped kitchen, ideal for extended onboard living. Additionally, a dinette for four complements the social area. Forward, two double guest cabins—one with bunks and bathroom, the other with a double bed and bunk plus ensuite bathroom—ensure privacy and comfort. The crew cabin in the bow, accessible from both inside and the deck, adds two berths and its own bathroom.

The equipment of this Oyster 68 is extensive and focused on both safety and comfort: it includes a generator, inverter, shore power inlet, complete navigation electronics (radar, depth sounder, GPS, autopilot, AIS, among others), air conditioning, heating, dishwasher, washing machine, water purifier, oven, microwave, refrigerator, freezer, and several water pumps. Externally, the cockpit and side decks are highlighted with teak, electric winch, davits, gangway, liferaft, cockpit table, tender, swim ladder, and outboard motor brackets.

Regarding the sail plan, the Oyster 68 is equipped with a spinnaker, roller furling mainsail, cruising gennaker/spinnaker, and roller furling genoa, thus covering a wide range of sailing conditions. For all these reasons, this sailboat is ideal for demanding sailors looking to embark on long-range voyages, families prioritizing comfort and safety, or owners wanting a boat with pedigree, history, and versatile usage possibilities, whether for transoceanic cruising or leisure sailing in Mediterranean waters.
