Oyster 49 Zebahdy – Ready for Adventure
A superbly maintained Oyster 49, designed for blue-water cruising and long-distance exploration. As the first of its model, this 14.95m cutter-rigged yacht embodies Oyster’s renowned craftsmanship, offering a perfect balance of performance, safety, and comfort. Lying in Lefkas, Greece, she is fully equipped for effortless sailing and ready for her next adventure.
Oyster 49 features a spacious three-cabin layout, including a rare forward island berth—a unique aspect not found in later models. The well-appointed interior provides exceptional comfort for extended cruising, making her an ideal choice for global voyages or Mediterranean escapes.
With only two owners since her launch in 2001, this Oyster 49 has been professionally maintained, with significant recent upgrades ensuring reliability and ease of handling. Her new standing rigging and repainted rig (2023), along with a rebuilt Yanmar engine (2023), enhance her readiness for offshore sailing. Designed for effortless management, she features electric in-mast furling and powered winches, making her easily sailed by a small crew.
Whether you’re looking to cross oceans or enjoy coastal cruising, the Oyster 49 offers a rare opportunity to own a proven offshore yacht with a rich pedigree. Combining elegant design with practical functionality, she is a vessel that inspires confidence at sea.
