Oyster

“The guy I was dating was talking about marriage and kids,” she says, “so I got on the first boat I could and sailed away across the Atlantic.”

The first Oyster Rally’s participants set sail from Antigua in January of 2013, but Oyster is looking forward to its second event, slated for 2016-2017 with 15 yachts already scheduled to take part.

Exploring the world on a long-range cruiser is the dream of many. Few will live that dream, at least in the way that the 26 yachts participating in the Oyster World Rally are. The journey began in Antigua in early January. We received a report from the Oyster team, after the fleet made it across the Panama Canal and into the Pacific.

The sleek, low profile of the Oyster 725 sailing yacht is sure to attract admiring glances, but the interior is equally interesting. Its living area is cozy yet spacious, making the most of the available interior volume. The main deck is open and clutter-free, allowing for easy walkaround access as well as unimpeded 360-degree views.
