OYSTER 55 Luxury Air- Con. Cutter -  USD495,000

    'Yachting World' magazine had this to say, "There could be little more you could ask from a bluewater cruiser". The "Oyster" brand simply says it all and needs no introduction to discerning buyers.
    "Chantique" is an absolutely stunning yacht that provides excellent performance upwind and down, whilst affording its owner and family, plus crew and guests, sumptuous and spacious accommodation, making relaxing and entertaining a true pleasure, while maintaining all the essential qualities you expect of a serious seagoing yacht
     Widely acknowledged as a quality offshore cruising classic from Holman and Pye, this luxurious 55 foot passage maker has a very simple cutter rig with an in-mast furling mainsail which makes her easy to handle. Below decks she has beautiful teak interior joinery in  perfect condition, and a layout that sleeps eight in four cabins.
      The GRP hull is laid up single skin with layers of Kevlar cloth and  structural stringers and flooring done strictly to Lloyds approved design specifications. The deck structure is molded in GRP with balsa core for strength and insulation.  Ducted air-con is throughout.

      Although this magnificent vessel is very keenly priced at around half of replacement cost, and way below the price of any other Oyster of the same year and size  - the owner will consider all serious offers.
