Overview
RESTLESS is the owner’s fourth Oyster. He chose the 655 because it is large enough to accommodate crew when needed, yet easy enough to handle as an owner/operator. Unlike newer Oysters with cored hull construction, the Oyster 655 is solid single-skin layup of E-Glass, carbon and Kevlar. The modern performance design of narrow-entry forward and wide sections aft make her a powerful, stable and quick-cruising platform, capable of taking her passengers and payload anywhere in speed, comfort and safety.
Seller will reimburse cost of first-class airfare to Buyer upon closing.
Not for sale or charter to U.S. residents while in U.S. waters.
