Details

The Holman and Pye designed Oyster 46 was the first deck saloon design built by Oyster. The 46 provides huge interior volume which is a real selling point of this yacht as she feels a lot larger inside compared to many other yachts of similar length, this is particularly enhanced as she is flooded with natural light thanks to the deck saloon windows. My honest opinion: It is the best boat ever build. If you ever been on this type of an Oyster you will see it the same way. Sadly I do not spend enough time on the boat that it makes sense for me to keep her.HULL NUMBER Oyster HP46/22.
