The Oyster 47 stands as a foundational pillar of the Oyster Marine legacy, produced between 1982 and 1987. Designed by the esteemed naval architecture firm Holman & Pye, this 47-foot cruiser was instrumental in defining the "Deck Saloon" concept that would eventually become the brand’s global calling card. With only 15 hulls produced, it remains a rare and sought-after vessel on the secondary market, valued for its heavy-build quality and its ability to handle arduous offshore passages with a level of grace and security that modern, lighter yachts often struggle to replicate. Built primarily at the Landamores yard in Norfolk, the 47 was an evolution of the earlier Oyster 46, offering a more refined hull shape and a sophisticated interior arrangement that catered to the burgeoning market for luxury circumnavigators.
