Oyster Yachts Selects YANMAR as Their Propulsion Solution Provider

Oyster, the renowned British luxury sailing yacht builder, maintains the highest standards in every aspect of its business, choosing the YANMAR sail drive solution for its benchmark Oyster 495, as well as the Oyster 565 and 595.

Heralding the ‘superb’ YANMAR engines as a ‘reliable friend’ that are quiet and fuel-efficient, Oyster endorses the quality and craftsmanship of the YANMAR 4JH110 engine, SD15 sail drive and VC20 control, and Flexofold propellers as the perfect match for its iconic yachts.

Watch Oyster Yachts’ Chief Commercial Officer Paul Adamson explain why YANMAR is its chosen partner here:

British luxury sailing yacht builder Oyster Yachts selects the YANMAR sail drive solution for its Oyster 495, 565 and 595 yachts, preferring the YANMAR engines due to their low noise, fuel efficiency, reliability and performance.

Oyster 495 owner Eddie Jordan, the former Formula One team owner and an experienced sailor, is a longstanding advocate for the ‘magical’ Oyster brand. Expecting only the best when out on the water, he hails the ‘super-efficient’ YANMAR engine in his dream yacht, number two boat, Tuga.

Rob Humphreys and Oysters inhouse design team did a great job designing the 495. It is the baby of the Oyster fleet and for me, it is the little treasure. She’s a dream to sail, but when the wind drops the super-efficient YANMAR engine takes her to her happy place of 9 knots effortlessly. She is the jewel in the crown which Oyster hasn’t had for a little while and it is the perfect boat for young people to learn what it is like to go blue water sailing.
