Created by the Oyster Design Team, with hull lines by Rob Humphreys, the Oyster 53 emulates her larger sister, the 56, setting new standards of performance, style and comfort.

The Design Team approach, linked with the use of powerful integrated CAD design computers, has created a yacht that we believe will set a new standard in design excellence in this size. For a fifty-three foot yacht, this Oyster is very unusual in offering a spacious cockpit and a large saloon, together with up to four separate sleeping cabins, but maintaining a stylish, well-proportioned outboard profile.

The Team have co-ordinated the styling and an integrated, ergonomically designed cockpit, whose technical specification originated from the Department of Ergonomics at Loughborough University.

Performance and handling under sail and power are well above average, gaining from the undoubted skill of Rob Humphreys whose Whitbread, World Championship and Europe 1 New Man STAR winning race designs and the new Chay Blyth fleet, have established his international reputation for safe, fast yachts.
