The yacht introduces a new generation of performance and comfort, featuring <strong>larger hull ports<\/strong>, <strong>panoramic saloon windows<\/strong>, and customizable interior configurations. Optional upgrades include a private office, day bar, and enhanced connected technologies \u2014 all tailored to each owner\u2019s lifestyle.<\/p>\n<p>Built to order with the first hull expected to launch in <strong>2027<\/strong>, the Oyster 805 embodies everything that defines the brand: world-class craftsmanship, strength of construction, and the confidence to explore any ocean with style.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe Oyster 805 has been an exciting design to develop, moving the performance profile upwards while conceding nothing in terms of Oyster\u2019s core bluewater values of safety, seakindliness and comfort. The latter part of that formula is ingrained in our culture with over 100 HYD Oysters now having successfully completed circumnavigations, and it is with respect to this provenance that we have taken the 805 forward.\u201d<br \/><strong>Rob and Tom Humphreys, Humphreys Yacht Design<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forumnautico.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Cockpit-daybed.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13517\" src=\"https:\/\/www.forumnautico.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Cockpit-daybed.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1728\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.forumnautico.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Cockpit-daybed.jpg 1728w, https:\/\/www.forumnautico.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Cockpit-daybed-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.forumnautico.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Cockpit-daybed-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.forumnautico.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Cockpit-daybed-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.forumnautico.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Cockpit-daybed-1536x960.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1728px) 100vw, 1728px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Expanding the World of Oyster: New Experiences for Owners<\/h2>\n<p>In addition to the 805\u2019s debut, Oyster announced several initiatives designed to expand the ownership journey and open bluewater cruising to a wider audience:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The Oyster Explorers Club<\/strong> \u2013 Inspired by the legendary Oyster World Rally, this exclusive program offers curated global voyages supported by Oyster\u2019s expert team.
