Full Details
Vessel Interior Walkthrough
The yacht boasts a spacious raised saloon with signature large Oyster deck-saloon windows, flooding the interior with natural light. It features a genuine indoor piloting station, complete with an independent steering system and helm wheel, allowing full control and safe navigation from the comfort of the main saloon—perfect for all-weather passage-making.
This Sovereign Edition combines exceptional build quality, proven offshore performance, and luxurious live-aboard comfort in a timeless package. A standout opportunity for discerning sailors.
With dedicated attention and thoughtful fine-tuning, this exceptional Oyster HP 49 Pilothouse has the potential to become one of the finest examples on the market. Her proven offshore pedigree, timeless Holman & Pye design, and well-documented history of care make her an outstanding foundation—ready for the next owner to elevate her to truly outstanding condition.
Starting forward, the accommodation begins with a spacious VIP guest cabin featuring a generous centerline double V-berth, a vanity table with seating, ample hanging lockers, and extensive stowage—offering comfort and privacy worthy of a much larger yacht.
Moving aft to port is the forward guest cabin, thoughtfully configured with two single berths (one over one), a hanging locker, dressing table, and drawer storage—ideal for family, friends, or additional crew.
Directly opposite to starboard lies the forward head, complete with an electric toilet, washbasin, and separate shower compartment for convenience and easy access from the guest areas.
Proceeding aft brings you to the heart of the yacht: the light filled and open, raised saloon. Flooded with natural light through the signature large pilothouse windows, it offers panoramic views and an inviting social space. To port, a comfortable semi-circular settee wraps around a versatile dining table, while to starboard sits a gracefully curved settee.
Aft to starboard, the dedicated inside steering and navigation station provides full piloting capability from the saloon, with chart table and helm controls—perfect for all-weather passage-making.
Continuing aft and to port, the galley is a standout feature: large, practical, and well-equipped for extended cruising. It includes a four-burner cooker with grill and oven, twin stainless sinks, microwave, deep freezer, refrigerator, and abundant counter and storage space—designed for serious provisioning and meal preparation underway or at anchor.
Furthest aft is the private owner’s suite, a spacious retreat with a centerline double berth, two curved settees for relaxing or reading, dual hanging lockers, and plentiful storage in lockers and drawers throughout. The ensuite head is generously appointed with an electric toilet, sink basin, and a large separate shower—ensuring comfort and privacy for the owners.
This thoughtful three-cabin layout combines Oyster’s renowned craftsmanship, exceptional headroom, and practical offshore functionality, making "Mavi" feel remarkably open and livable for long-term cruising.
Accommodations
This Oyster HP 49 Pilothouse delivers a spacious and thoughtfully arranged three-cabin layout that feels remarkably generous—reminiscent of much larger yachts in the Oyster fleet.
Forward lies a true VIP guest cabin with a large centerline V-berth, comfortable settee, and abundant locker and storage space for extended cruising comfort. Just aft to port is a generous bunk cabin (one over one), ideal for family or crew, while opposite to starboard sits the forward head with its private ensuite shower.
The raised saloon is the heart of the yacht: bright and inviting thanks to the signature large Oyster deck-saloon windows. To port, a roomy curved settee wraps around a clever half-round table (complete with built-in wine cabinet) that pivots and unfolds to nearly double in size—perfect for relaxed meals or entertaining larger groups. Forward to starboard is a smaller settee, with the dedicated Nav/Pilothouse station positioned aft and to starboard of the companionway for seamless indoor helm control.
Aft to port, two steps down, the U-shaped galley is a chef’s delight: equipped with a microwave, large top-opening fridge and freezer, double stainless sinks, and an expansive pantry cabinet system for serious provisioning. It offers convenient access to the private aft owner’s suite, featuring a centerline queen berth, generous storage, a dedicated head, and an impressively large ensuite shower.
Cockpit & Bluewater Readiness
The expansive center cockpit is designed for comfort and security during offshore passages, providing excellent protection and all-around visibility.
Fully equipped for serious blue-water cruising, this yacht includes a genset, watermaker, air conditioning, davits, in-mast roller furling, solar panels, and more—ready for self-sufficient adventures.
A well-maintained, much-loved family cruiser, she has proven her credentials: multiple Atlantic crossings, numerous Caribbean seasons, and Chesapeake Bay sailing since 2017, with significant refits to optimize her for extended ocean voyaging. A rare and capable Sovereign Edition that’s ready for her next chapter.
