One of the few Oysters which has been upgraded to achieve MCA class 00 which means she is capable of taking charter guests across oceans in full luxury comfort and space which by no means compromises her sailing ability. She accommodates 8 guests comfortably in 3 cabins but can actually sleep up to 12. Her inventory includes a new engine 2007, watermaker and in mast furling.
