2010 Oyster 54

The Oyster 54 is a purpose-built bluewater cruiser designed by Rob Humphreys and launched in 2008 as the successor to the 53. She combines sailing performance with seaworthiness through a longer waterline, increased sail area, and refined weight distribution that enhances her capabilities. The design emphasizes easy handling for short-handed sailing, with a spacious centre cockpit roughly 25% larger than the previous model, making her equally suited to couples and family crews.

Below decks, the layout comprises three cabins and two heads arranged with practical simplicity and refined joinery in maple, creating a light and open interior feel. The rigging is straightforward—a sloop configuration with electric furling on both mainsail and genoa, kept intentionally simple for reliability and ease of management during extended voyages.

This 2010 example is fitted with a 110-horsepower diesel engine and sits on a fiberglass hull measuring 54 feet in length with a 15.58-foot beam. The boat has completed an extended circumnavigation, including the Oyster World Rally from 2013 to 2014, and comes from continuous single ownership throughout her service life.
