Oyster 725

The Oyster 72 was one of Rob Humphrey's most successful designs, combining excellent sailing performance with a sleek and elegant profile. The 725 used the same proven hull and deck, but the topsides were re-engineered to accommodate our new triple Seascape windows to both the saloon and the owner's stateroom aft. This means that both areas of the yacht are much lighter and brighter, and bring the 725 into line with our later designs. A powerful and capable offshore cruising yacht, the first 725 was launched in 2012, with Isabel being the last in 2015.

Instantly recognisable due to her attractive grey hull and white cove and boot top lines, Isabel is a strikingly beautiful yacht. Specified from the outset for sailing around the world in comfort, she has what is perhaps the ultimate big boat offshore rig - hydraulic push-button furling to her mainsail, genoa, and staysail, allowing her versatile and adaptable sail plan to be controlled from the safety of the cockpit, making shorthanded sailing a reality. Below decks, she has an exquisite interior hand-finished in teak. She sleeps up to nine in five cabins, three of which have double berths.

Isabel has just completed the World ARC and looks ready to go again. A comprehensive maintenance schedule has kept her in excellent order, and her experienced owner and crew have clearly spared little expense in her upkeep. Now lying ashore in Ipswich, this is an outstanding which will surely repay an early viewing.
