Oyster 42

With only seven Oyster 42’s built between 1996 and 2002 they are a rare find and highly sought after by bluewater cruisers around the world. The 42 is the only design from Oyster to feature the aft cockpit deck saloon design which combined with some clever detailing from the designer, creates a sleek low profile while retaining the deep cockpit and light interior.

KAPARDA is Oyster 42 hull number 2. With her original owners from leaving the factory she has enjoyed cruising around Scotland and Ireland. Below decks the oak wood interior creates a modern bright interior with a traditional feel. She has her master cabin forward with en-suite heads, a spacious saloon and galley with a dedicated navigation station and an aft cabin and separate heads. Reluctantly offered for sale she comes with a comprehensive inventory including :
