The Oyster 48 Lightwave stands as a testament to combining performance-oriented design with the renowned craftsmanship of a luxury builder. Conceived as an innovative, light-displacement fast cruising yacht, it carves out a niche for sailors seeking speed and comfort in equal measure. This centre cockpit vessel quickly earned a reputation as a capable offshore cruiser, embodying a design philosophy that was both forward-thinking and deeply practical for extended voyages. Designed by the acclaimed Carl Schumacher and built by Oyster Marine (now Oyster Yachts), the 48 Lightwave is celebrated for its distinctive profile and inspiring sailing characteristics, with some examples, like "Scarlet Oyster," achieving significant racing success and multiple transatlantic crossings.
