Why it is here
Multi-day Yachting World and Yachting Monthly tests of the 495 call it a new standard for luxury monohull liveaboard voyaging; SuperYacht Times documents contemporary private Oyster deliveries.
Who it is for
UHNW couples/families wanting ocean-capable luxury with shallow-harbour options, systems redundancy and brand community (Oyster World Rally) more than stripped performance ratios.
