Beautiful yacht. If I work really hard this year I should be able to buy the anchor chain.
Work smart. Not hard. Or do both and get there quicker
or the cushion. but just to be on the safe side so ,as not to break your budget just buy a spoon or a fork. 🤣👍
I doubt it unless you're a surgeon. It's taken me 2 years to buy the toilet lid .
@@ronaldkirkland9859 It shouldn't be that much. If you went with 1/2" 316 stainless steel windlass chain x 80 meters you should have it delivered for $7500 USd.

Toby is still the best narrator. Oyster should consider a contract. He is calm; he doesn't try to put in too much information but he always hits the high spots. Some previous Oyster employees as narrators were, shall we say, less than optimum. This was a pleasure to watch.
Thank you Larry!
he avoids the obvious, so yes, he would be a good salesman for Oyster
@@yachtingworld I hope you don't take offences that there's times like this I hate you.
You don't just have a good job or even an excellent job. In fact I don't know how to describe your job or even if anyone can.
I bet there's times you complain that the wind is icy cold or something. Thankfully you don't put that in your videos. Next time it is icy cold and rough seas just remember what you do *AND GET PAID FOR IT* because the rest of us don't.
I do have a question. Is this the best boat in its class (around 60ft)?
I'm an aerospace engineer who works in controls systems and automation. So I am quite familiar with the sort of hardware and electronic controls in something like this. I do the same sort of stuff you show with the touch screens except for things like manufacturing plants and mineral processing facilities. They are a little different to the industrial stuff I do but the principles are the same. *I can recognise the attention to detail instantly in all that system.*
The fact they have considered the maintenance and servicing of the electrics and other automation is stunningly impressive. Almost all other engineers outside of my field don't care about maintenance. Their idea is make it work and dump it on the customer. I almost want to show the mechanical engineers I work with that this is how things are DONE PROPERLY.
From your perspective its a beautiful boat. From mine its a beautiful piece of engineering.
WELL, now I know what I will be buying when I hit the lotto!!! This is breathtaking, wow...
Don’t stop doing these videos!
Look forward to watching even bigger yachts!!
I always enjoy the visual quality these videos deliver on a small production footprint. Just great.
The navigation station gave me goosebumps. Beautiful boat.
The shark Gill windows are what really make this yatch stand out.loved it from day one but sadly I always have expensive taste without the finances to afford them
Thank you Toby, As always an exceptional yacht and experience.
Well done Yachting World, great insight to what is in my mind, a wonderful looking, stunningly beautiful boat, so well done Again Oyster… Love this boat.
This would be perfect for me... Shoal draft lifting centerboard a must. Love the new interior decor. The stairs are much improved. Very nice.
A Vlog I've been waiting for, enjoyed that - thanks!
Liked the almost vlog style video. Great drone, and night shots. Will just save up, and i have that boat in 50 years. This was a great one Toby, can't wait for the next one.
I liked the video before watching it! I have been waiting for this video! Absolute dream boat!
This is the style of video we need more. Thank you!
Thanks Jukka!
I think Oyster should make scale models of its yachts that you can rig and lift the deck off to see the layout underneath, with working lights, for those of us who would really really like a real one, but know that it is going to take something extraordinary to ever own anything much larger than a Topper. At least we'll be able to play with it on our desks or in our bathtubs and dream we're on the high seas.
Man that's a beautiful boat. I like the triple windows on Oysters. Good job staying unbiased Toby. I might not be able to do that with such a beautiful boat.
Thanks 👍
@@yachtingworld I don't know if I should have the utmost respect for your work or just outright hate you for the job you have.
Wow those interiors are stunning.
Wow. Completely beautiful. Best selling Oyster yet?! 595 and 2.3m?! Wow, wonderful.
I know money changes things but having just watched the video of the Jeanunne 60’s it is astonishing the difference in designs. Truly remarkable
Love this boat, im not surprised its their fastest seller!!!
In my opinion one of the best looking yachts.
I was lucky enough to be invited to see this yacht being built. Stunning workmanship by a team committed to their product and brand. Very well done. 👏
it is a piece of shit
@@thomaselliott573 and what would you know about that?
@@Metal_Auditor What was once the most superb example of one the greatest styles of yacht, - the round-the-world capable, luxury cruising yacht, has been reduced to another boring, usless cookie-cutter piece of shit for going out to impress your friends around the harbor.
@@thomaselliott573 I’m pretty sure these boats are designed to sail around the world.
@@Metal_Auditor Stay pretty. Do your make up
Great video, well done. Beautiful yacht.
This is a fantastic video!
How amazing and videoing on the hoof too!
Stunning.
Lovely boat, luxurious and well thought out, very good presentation too, comparable with aquaholic,
and unlike Aquaholic, Toby does not censor comments when people say that Beneteau is overprised or so.
Great review thank you
Very beautiful yacht, congratulations 🎊.
Should I ever feel compelled to part with my Hylas 70, this would be a nice step down in size while not giving up any of the niceties (hydraulic furlers, etc.). I love the deck and cabin layouts. The hydro generator is brilliant and something I would love to add to my own boat.
Toby is the best !! Cheers
Beautiful boat!
That Watt and Sea generator would drive me insane !
Burning diesel in a diesel generator would drive me insane.
@Mal L Maybe something similar from Oceanvolt has lower noise levels...
For a few million, it would definitely bug me!
Nice, best review
Nothing will stop me....this is a British Dream Boat....
Mouthwatering vessel. Nicely done video. It’s so kind of you to offer me this boat, but alas, alas I must decline.
Mark my WORDS....one day soon I'm gonna OWN this Vessel.....
Beautiful….its on my list…Just sold ourJeanneau 41ds but this is a different level!
I absolutely love it. A nice Bimini would be great to have and add some flexable solar panels and batteries.
Great video!! Be safe!
Regards, Myk
Nice yacht. I really like the big windows and daylight. Of course there are always some details that I don't agree with, but thats peanuts. But what bothers me most is "climbing" up/down the stairs to get out/in. I like the idea about deck saloon yachts way more. E.g. Sirius 40ds or such.
Damn brother! That's what dreams are made of....
Beautiful.
I really hope we get a tour of a 595 with the alternate, master cabin forward layout..
All and all a lovely sailing vessel. However, the exposed steering would be a drag in heavy weather, and dangerous, unless you were strapped down.
Couldn’t agree more. But what about just some shade? In the Sun ALL day…no thanks. I find it odd that a Bimini of some sort wouldn’t be standard.
@@Abc-kf4qx there is a foldable Bimini that extends from the splash hood to the back and it comes standard with the boat but i guess they did not put it up for the shoot
...anyone who can afford this, will be able to afford to pay for a Qualified crew to sail this vessel to whichever destination the owners is going to, or will be at 🤔
that's a ludicrous amount of money for a yacht, the owner can afford a fully manned and trained crew
There are quite a few other reasons why this is not suitable for offshore work. It is a very very strange design for a brand known historically as, supposedly, the ultimate offshore yacht.
@@thomaselliott573 funny enough there are quite a few oysters in Arc Atlantic crossings. From top 10s to bottom 10s they are littered in all the categories so clearly people do cross oceans with these.
(Perhaps they offer options for some soft weather protection covers?)
Tasarım harika, kalite ve işçilik muazzam...⛵🗺👏🙏

I know (thankfully) they are working on the noise from the watt and sea (sorry if that isn't right), but one wonders if ditching the diesel engine and getting a bigger generator and having an electric motor might not be a better option, especially one that can be used to charge the batteries. Incidentally are the batteries ole school or are they using lithium ion or similar? Cheers for the vid and very glad that Oyster's future looks bright it was a bit dodgy there for a while it seemed.
Electric drive with Lithium ion batteries, solar and a backup generator are already being used on multiple production sailboats, including relatively inexpensive global cruisers such as Windelo. It seems highly practical to me, and it's operating in much greater synergy with wind and nature than chugging along with Diesel drive.
With hydrogeneration all of the energy used to motor out of marina/mooring ball/anchorage can be recharged simply by sailing.
With enough solar and battery, the generator can get almost no use, even when powering all house loads like induction cooking, watermaker, etc. The generator is just an emergency backup for very long becalmed passages.
Wonderful yacht. Just a question. Do side windows not create friction? Thanks Toby for usual professionalism
Cual prefiere este yate o el ice 70 ?? ,excelente video
Nice, but the competition is fierce. For that money, you can get an Amel, a Hallberg-Rassy or even a good catamaran. Or a very large used boat, fully equipped and tried.
whats best ?
Would love to see the main sheet winch and headsail winches buttons on the pedestal. I’m a blow it would be hard to lean backwards for the main sheet if you are older
Wow, What a magnificent boat! It becomes my new favorite 60 foot sailing yacht, replacing Amel 60.
The Amel would be a better live-a-board and sailing yacht in heavy weather. Vastly better safety and crew ergonomics. This is a fair weather boat, barely any grab rails below means you'd likely have a head injury after a day on a transat.
@@sheilamorrison1954 I read that more Oysters have circumnavigated then any other brand...... Makes your comments seem a bit pointless!
@@christopherfranklin2636 Look at the older ones (When they were the best) to now. 2 bankruptcies and buyouts have changed them. Anyone with half a brain and experience at sea could tell this would be terrible place to move around in heavy weather.
By your same logic Beneteau are the best open water boat as they have more ARC crossings than any other. Clearly they arent.
@@sheilamorrison1954 2 questions: 1. have you ever been on a new Oyster? as I'm sure they can put as many handholds as you wish! 2. what is your sailing experience of crossing oceans?
@@christopherfranklin2636 10 Years of sailing Med, Solent, North Sea (Harsh winter sailing). Plenty. From 30-60ft yachts. I dont even know how many thousands of miles, I dont count anymore.
Toby even says it needs more holds at 10.35 in the video - He can barely reach the tiny hold and he is 5.10. My 5.4 wife wouldn't have anything to hold for 3m getting forward. Far too open.
If you think of this as a 565 with an extra cabin for 2 crew (potentially) but then also able to owner operate it with 2 crew, I think that's why the design has sold so well.
God ???
You worked that out???
Crew? No thank you.
Is it possible to demonstrate the use of the halyard winch? It almost like its a trip hazard more than anything else - just curious to see how practical it is?
Espectacular…. No coment.
You mentioned that the hull ports "weren't quite flush" as I was watching the eddies coming off of their aft edges.
I agree, I wish the whole side hullport windows were flush because it seems as it will interrupt true speed potential at heel. But I am in love with anything and all oysters!
Underwater lights! Didn't know they had those. Like always, everything looks so natural. The navigation table solution is a stunner.
The only thing I don't like is the dinghy conundrum. One had always to go over sixty feet to have a dinghy garage in the aft. Here with 59.5, you get the disadvantage of a larger boat and the disadvantage of having your deck ruined with that dinghy always in sight while crossing the ocean.
Awesome
What is your honest assessment of this Oyster in comparison with the Amel 60 and Halberg-Rassy 57?
Short of knowing him personally and talking with him off record there is no way of really knowing the answer to that question.
You had me at 130m of SS chain!
That's the one I'd buy.
Anyone else that wants to see something about the Rapido 60 and/or the Bañuls 53 tri?
It looks magnificent but, does it really have balsa cored topsides?
Another beautiful boat!..ill never own!
What was weird with that water generator? Did they get the crazy noises fixed?
I like this boat better than the new Amel.
Those Windows create a decent amount of turbulence and drag.
I wonder, a Hydro generator that Deploy behind the Yacht, does those generate less than Keel mounted?
these open layouts are nice at anchor, but underway they look a bit clunky moving around inside. i think hallberg rassy and rustler does a better job with this that this oyster and maybe the newer amels
Have they fixed the keel issues?
What a stunner! Beautiful boat indeed. The deck maintenance alone would probably be 2.3 zillion pounds per year, but, really, for such a boat, who cares?
Straight swap for my ageing Contessa 26? I'll give you a bit of time to think about it? If not it will have to be the lottery, nice to dream though.
If I ever win the lottery this is boat I will sail around the world on
i love an oyster but the whining from the hydro generator would drive me nuts.i sailed on many elans and they are robust and fast.
Not sure about those vertical windows in the center. They seem to generate funnels and i guess thats not the most clever thing...
I wonder how long these pretty little windows are going to start letting in water?
I've never been lucky enough to sail on a boat like this, so perhaps it's not a factor, but I'm always suprised at all the sharp edges on everything; the cabinets, the counters etc.. I have not paid that close attention but on a Halbeg Rassy everything seems to be rounded over. I'm guessing that Oyster owners have enough money they can just call ahead and order calm seas for their trip. Is that a service Oyster offers?
they have changed to the pop-out Bavaria style after the company was put under new ownership and investment. The main thing required now is the size of the fridge and cooking appliances
What would be the largest yacht, you would sail solo, if you only think functionality??
Curious about the prop rpm noise…. Battery Regen or? Very interested in buying some of these boats in the near future but that noise is a deal breaker…??
Yes this one had a small hydrogenerating prop fitted between keel and propeller - it is an option (ie not a standard fit), an increasingly popular one for generating power while sailing
Perjaps the best way to showcase a boat is taking her to the ocean....
The only detail I see: In-mast main sail furling
Beautiful yacht. I don't understand why more manufactures don't get the concept of protecting the helm. Sailing in the elements gets old and an exposed helm like that is great for a day sail. Would not want to cross the pond on that.
Yes I agree - there should be an option for soft too or hard top protection.
Look Amel sailboat
@@mathis_r73 Yep the Amel is my dream boat especially now that they have gone to a sloop rig. Like the Super Maramu too but a ketch rig is a little more than I can handle solo. It's just a crew of two. Amel's focus on safety and the pushbutton sailing make it ideal for a couple. But on the flip side you can't beat the build quality of an Oyster. Those get top of the line everything but not meant for single handed sailing in the 60 foot range.
@@marylandflyer5670There idea seems to be that in adverse conditions you sail the boat on auto and on watch crew shelter under dodger. I have to say that’s what I do on my own boat( not an oyster !) but certainly the attractions of the sheltered helm position of the Amel could be very appealing in poor conditions. However in nice weather or a bit of round the cans you want good viz. it all depends on what you use the boat for.
Just get an optional canopy. It’s not that fuckin’ difficult.
For over two million, you would thought they'd option for a good set of sails. The main and genoa look like a old set of bedsheets.
A long way from my Jeannuea 2016 439
Se eu comprar um barco seria esse❤
Am I the only one that finds the backwash on the vertical ports bothersome!
Ayn Rand "Atlas Shrugged" suggested reading.
Very nice boat. Is it better than Amel or Contest?
Yes and no, depends on your taste and what you're doing it, they're all good boats, every boat is a trade off and some will prefer each of them.
Would I buy this over a £2.3m catamaran (HH, Balance, Outremer, Priviledge, etc)? I used to think I would, but now I’m not so sure.
You could get a fully optioned Outremer 55 and have £500,000 in change
@@testicool013 Yeah. My sentiments exactly.
👌 👏
I make these for a living currently building deck 10
Šéf říkal, že na konci prosince si koupím plachetnici za 60k, tak nevadí...
Mě bude stačit koupit si jízdenku na Slapy a můžu se na ni jet podívat :D
An interesting boat. I guess the compromise with that interior is the lack of a dinghy garage, it would be worth the extra few feet and improve the waterline length. In some anchorages, it's wise to secure the dinghy either on deck or in the garage, the latter is way easier.
*LOVELY LAYOUT JUST EXPOSED TO MUCH FOR MY PREFRENCE.*
I'll take two.
Hahaha
The only negative in my view is the 3 windows in the hull design, not practical when heeling over and a possible drag issue, just my opinion.
Just wondering how fast those windows will start to leak....
The horizantal ones causing all the splashing look a bit wonky indeed. I don't get why they didn't fair them in better
Interior looks like it is designed by IKEA
So what happens when one of those windows breaks at the water line?
The toughened glass is stronger than the fibreglass surrounding!
Stunning boat , shame the top end craftsmanship to produce these only pays £13 per hour , no wonder their always advertising for new staff.
Are you serious? Yeah dont buy a boat made by unhappy unskilled workers
@@andre1987eph very serious , you google boat building jobs on south coast of uk.
Holy shit!
Perhaps they would've avoided bankruptcy if they paid less.
@@ln5747 they went bankrupt because they paid their design team far too much for miscalculating how to attach keels on correctly. 🤭
9 and a half knots, wow, and they say sailing is for those who want to travel the world, so if i wanted to visit the Caribbean, I might get their in a few years. that's gonna be a lot of food i need to bring along with me.
