2008 Oyster 56 Deck Saloon

Manitou is a 2008 Oyster 56 Deck Saloon, a 56-foot fiberglass sailing yacht built for extended cruising and offshore passagemaking. The cutter rig and established design offer the balance of performance and seaworthiness that defines the Oyster brand, supported by a Yanmar auxiliary engine for reliable power when needed.

The layout provides four cabins and six heads, configured to accommodate a cruising crew or family with proper separation and comfort. The deck saloon design brings natural light and visibility to the main living space while maintaining the structural integrity valued in ocean-going yachts.

Since 2021, the yacht has received over 145,000 dollars in documented upgrades and systems work. These updates have modernized onboard systems and equipment, supporting its readiness for extended passages and remote cruising.
