Description

Recently returned from a circumnavigation, this Oyster 406 has proven her capability offshore and remains a solid, confidence-inspiring yacht for extended cruising. With the classic Oyster blend of strength, comfort and seakeeping, she represents an excellent opportunity for anyone seeking a proven live aboard or ocean passage maker.

Below deck, the 406 benefits from a wide, beamy hull form that creates a notably spacious and comfortable interior for her size. The centre cockpit layout delivers excellent separation between living and sleeping spaces, giving her the cosy, private feel that long-distance cruisers value. She has clearly been well cared for and lived aboard with pride, and while new upholstery would bring the accommodation up to a more modern standard, she remains inviting and highly practical as is.

On deck she features traditional teak decks and the hallmark Oyster long fin keel with skeg rudder, ensuring both directional stability and reassuring offshore performance. Recent upgrades include new running rigging (2025), new radar, speed and wind instruments fitted in May 2025, and a new mainsail delivered in January 2025 – key investments that significantly enhance her readiness for further adventures.

A robust and well-equipped example of this respected offshore design, presenting as a strong candidate for sailors looking for a serious cruising yacht with proven ocean pedigree.
