The Oyster 885 represents a definitive milestone in the evolution of the British shipyard, designed by Rob Humphreys to maximize the 24-meter Load Line rule. By keeping the vessel’s length just under this regulatory threshold, Oyster created a yacht that offers the volume and luxury of a 100-foot superyacht without the restrictive operational requirements and increased manning costs associated with larger vessels. Launched as a successor to the Oyster 82, the 885 was engineered for long-distance circumnavigation and high-end chartering, utilizing a powerful hull form with a clean, ergonomic deck layout. The model has since seen iterations including the 885 Series II and the Oyster 885GT, a "Grand Tourer" variant optimized for enhanced performance through weight-saving measures and a more aggressive sail plan.
