Oyster 54 BABE

PRICE JUST REDUCED!

The Oyster 54 replaced the 53 in the Oyster range in 2008. Designed by Rob Humphreys and the Oyster design team, it is a fast and elegant bluewater cruiser with an emphasis on sailing performance. The 54 features a longer waterline, more sail area, and slightly lighter displacement than her predecessor. Additionally, her beam is carried further aft to enhance performance, particularly off wind.

Design Features

• Secure centre cockpit, approximately 25% larger than the 53
• Geared towards easy short-handed sailing for a couple
• Proven circumnavigator or family cruiser

Interior Layout

Below decks, the Oyster 54 has a simple and seamanlike three-cabin layout, combining practicality with beauty.

Production Details

Oyster launched twenty-one 54s between 2008 and 2013, after which a slightly tweaked version, the 545, was introduced.
