Overview
BROKER'S COMMENTS
Janus of London is a great example of the Oyster 53. Built and owned by the same family throughout she has only ever been used for private cruising. Based in Sardinia and now Palma de Mallorca, Janus shows very well and has benefitted from a constant professional maintenance programme.
The safe, sea going cockpit and easy to handle sail plan allow for extensive short handed cruising. With incredibly spacious and comfortable accommodation there is plenty of room for family and friends in the VIP fwd cabin and stb bunk cabin. A handy workshop with sea berth behind the nav station to port is ideal for passage making.
Janus of London has very low hours for her age and it shows in her condition. She is for sale as the owner is moving away from yachting to pursue other interests.
