The Oyster 62 is a deck-saloon bluewater cruising yacht designed by Rob Humphreys for Oyster Yachts and built in the UK from 1999 to 2010. A direct predecessor to the later Oyster 625, the 62 established the template for Oyster's modern semi-custom offshore range: raised saloon, center cockpit, cutter rig, and semi-displacement hull capable of 200-mile days in cruising trim. Shoal and deep keel options, up to five cabin layouts, and a legendary standard of joinery and systems installation cemented the 62's reputation as one of Oyster's most successful designs. Oyster 62s remain regular ARC, ARC Europe, and Oyster World Rally participants, and several have completed full circumnavigations.
