About the Oyster 565

Renowned for blending blue-water capability with refined luxury, the Oyster 565 represents one of the British builder's mid-range offerings in their celebrated lineup of offshore cruising yachts. Oyster Yachts has long held a prestigious reputation among serious offshore sailors, and the 565 upholds that tradition with a hull designed for extended ocean passages in comfort and safety. Built with long-distance cruising firmly in mind, this yacht is well-suited to couples or small crews planning extended passages, whether circumnavigating or exploring remote anchorages far from home. Oyster's characteristic attention to quality construction and thoughtful deck layouts makes the 565 a compelling choice for experienced sailors who expect their boat to perform in challenging conditions without sacrificing the comforts of a well-appointed interior. Like others in the Oyster range, the 565 carries a strong resale value and a loyal following within the bluewater cruising community, supported by Oyster's global network of service and support. For anyone researching a serious offshore cruiser with a pedigree to match its ambitions, the 565 deserves close consideration.

Performance Ratios
SA/Displacement Sail Area to Displacement ratio measures how much sail power a boat has relative to its weight. Higher values mean more performance and speed.
Under 14 — Heavy cruiser, slow14–18 — Cruising sailboat18–22 — Cruiser/racerOver 22 — Performance racer
19.3
