Oyster 575, SAFIYA

Broker’s Comments

SAFIYA is a beautiful 2016 Oyster 575 featuring a striking hull livery, seascape windows in the main saloon, and an automated rig. Fully set up for world cruising by her first owner, she has performed this role beautifully. She is easily handled by a couple yet offers ample room for a skipper and four guests. She is completely ready to sail.

SAFIYA was purchased by the current owner in 2024 and while she was a very up together yacht, they set about a detailed programme of refurbishment, refit and replacement. The full extent of the refit is detailed in the spec, but it is fair to say it leaves little for any incoming owner to do. Key items include a full new suit of Dolphin sails, new standing and running rigging, new electronics, coppercoat. On the interior and creature comfort side of things new canvas, new upholstery, washer dryer, icemaker…. The list is pretty extensive.

Offered for sale in ocean ready condition.

Owner’s Comments

When we bought SAFIYA in spring 2024, she had been well maintained and all systems serviced regularly, but she was in need of updating. We have kept her on the South Coast while enjoying some beautiful UK sailing, and undertook an extensive upgrade and renovation programme during 2025/26.

• The majority of the work has been meticulously carried out by Berthon in Lymington. This has included:
• Replacement of all standing and running rigging.
• Servicing of all winches.
• A complete set of new sails – in-mast furling (IMF) mainsail in tri-radial DYS cruising laminate, furling genoa with UV strip, and furling staysail with UV strip. All sails were handmade by Dolphin Sails and treated with Sailkote.
• New WeatherMax sprayhood and bimini made and fitted by Dolphin Sails.
• Upgrade of all wiring and Raymarine navigation systems with 3 x Axiom 2 Pro screens, a YachtSense Link marine cloud router, a new p70 screen, and a new through-hull speed log.
• Upgraded with an additional remote-controlled autopilot.
• Upgrade of the Raymarine RealVision MAX through-hull sonar.
• Installation of new carbon-fibre helm panels made specifically to accommodate the new equipment.
• The hull was cleaned, blasted, and a new coppercoat system was applied.
• The topsides were cut, polished, and waxed.
• The mast and spars were blasted and repainted.
• The propeller and shaft were cleaned and Propspeed applied.
• All internal and external upholstery has been replaced by Passmore Yacht Upholstery, part of Oyster Yachts. This includes all saloon seating and the navigation seat (with formal covers and an extra set of crew covers for use while sailing), all panels around the beds including headboards, cockpit and helm seating, and foredeck sun cushions.
• Internally, all lights have been updated to new fittings with combined USB charging ports. We have also fitted cockpit charging points for use under sail.
• New Penguin Refrigeration ice maker installed.
• New Bosch washer/dryer installed.
• The oven was removed, fully serviced, and repaired.
• Installation of Starlink.
• Replacement of bow thruster and engine batteries.
• Overhaul of dinghy/tender and the addition of a new Yamaha 40hp engine.
• Servicing and replacement of seacocks.

In addition to the refit work, annual servicing and required maintenance were carried out on:

• Main Volvo engine.
• Onan generator.
• All Frigomatic fridges and freezers.
• All safety equipment, including the liferaft and EPIRBs.

SAFIYA is a wonderful yacht to sail. She handles well in a wide range of conditions, including challenging weather. She is a beautiful vessel, ready for world cruising, and we will be very sad to part with her.
