The first Oyster superyacht has successfully completed her sailing trials ahead of handover to her owners in October.

The Oyster 100 Sarafin’s launch marks the successful conclusion of the first phase of a long-term project, which has brought together the award-winning trio of Dubois Naval Architects, Ipswich-based Oyster Group and RMK Marine.

The Oyster 100 is designed with the specification, features and classification of very much larger yachts. The standard accommodation layout offers three staterooms aft and two crew cabins forward.

A raised saloon offers a panoramic view and leads forward and down to a more intimate lounge and separate dining area. Forward of the main living area is the crew mess, galley and two crew cabins.

A six-cabin variant is also available, offering a fourth double guest cabin forward, in addition to the two crew cabins.

Sarafin will spend some time in Palma, Mallorca, before heading for a winter season in the Caribbean. She is expected to take part in the St Barth’s Bucket Regatta in March 2012.
