    Secure a proven bluewater cruiser: The Oyster 885 at auction

    The Oyster 885 represents the pinnacle of Oyster’s bluewater cruising philosophy: long-range capability, refined comfort and confident sailing performance. Built in 2015 and offered from her first owner, Guardian Angel is a carefully specified example with a customised interior layout, including an added guest cabin and an additional crew cabin. Now available via an international online auction, this 90-foot sailing yacht presents a rare opportunity to secure a proven world cruiser through a transparent and time-defined process.

    Why buy this yacht at auction?

    Buying Guardian Angel at auction combines clarity with global reach. First, every bid is visible in real time, ensuring full transparency. Moreover, the auction runs within a fixed schedule, allowing buyers to act decisively. In addition, YachtBid promotes the yacht internationally, connecting sellers and buyers in more than 100 countries. Finally, the process is organised in close cooperation with trusted brokers and Bright Auctions, providing certainty from registration to delivery.

    Designed for passagemaking and entertaining

    Designed by Rob Humphreys and engineered by Oyster Yachts, the Oyster 885 balances performance with comfort.
