The Oyster 475 is a robust bluewater cruiser designed by Holman & Pye and built by Oyster Marine, with production records indicating a build year of 2015. As a heavy-displacement vessel with a displacement of 35274.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 36.14, it is engineered for stability and seakeeping in challenging conditions.

Best for:

This boat is best suited for experienced bluewater cruisers seeking a heavy, stable platform for long-distance offshore passages, particularly those who prioritize safety and comfort over high-speed planing performance.

Bluewater capability:

With a low capsize ratio of 1.77 and a high displacement/length ratio of 236.18, the Oyster 475 demonstrates strong inherent stability and resistance to capsizing, making it highly capable for serious offshore voyaging.

Comparables:

Comparable vessels include the Hallberg-Rassy 442 and the Swan 45, which share similar heavy-displacement characteristics and offshore pedigree, though the Oyster distinguishes itself with its specific Holman & Pye hull form and Oyster's integrated systems.
