The 805 was designed as a solid blue-water cruiser and, according to the shipyard, can be customised to the customer's wishes. The new model is positioned as the smaller sister of the 27.4 metre 885 Series II and is aimed at discerning owners who want a ocean-going yacht for long-distance journeys search.
Flexible room concept
A key feature of the new model is the flexibility of the room layout. Owners have the option of converting one of the four cabins into a fitness room, a library, a cosy lounge or an office. This allows the owner's area to be extended and optimised according to individual wishes. In addition, an optional day bar configuration in the main saloon offers more flexibility by giving guests access to snacks and drinks without having to visit the galley.
Large hull windows for the best view
The British studio Humphreys Yacht Design, which has been working with British yacht builders for a long time, was responsible for the exterior design and the construction of the hull lines and appendages. The Slup differs from previous models with its enlarged hull and superstructure windows, which provide the saloon, owner's suite and guest cabins with more natural light. This design trick not only improves the interior atmosphere, but also gives the yacht a more modern appearance.
Tender bay and fixed bimini
The 805 has some clever solutions on deck. The tender bay in the foredeck can be transformed into a lounge - a feature adopted from the larger 885. In the centre of the cockpit is an integrated day bed, protected by a permanently installed bimini on which solar panels harvest electricity. This configuration can also be found in the interior, where a day bed in the saloon is positioned by the windows and offers magnificent sea views.
Exciting cockpit solutions
Among the technical innovations are the shipyard's new "wing seats". These small overhangs at the end of the cockpit offer guests and skipper a good overview. The large bathing platform not only serves as a starting point for water sports activities, but also facilitates access to the jetty and tender or functions as a lounge at anchor.
Two keel options available
The new model is Lloyd's-certified and owners can choose between a standard keel (3.4 metres draught) and an optional shallow-water keel (2.7 metres). With a beam of 6.4 metres and a sail area of 345.8 square metres, the new model promises both stability and sailing performance. Richard Hadida, shipyard owner and chairman of Oyster Yachts, emphasises the importance of the new model: "The 805 is the yacht I dreamed of when I took over the helm of the shipyard."
