Oyster Marine

Ipswich, United Kingdom
Founded in 1973, the company's early years were spent developing and marketing a range of cruiser racers, with the emphasis on performance. The Holman Pye design UFO range got the company off to a flying start with many racing successes. Ten years ago Rob Humphreys took over as lead designer and created an in-house design team. At the same time Oyster expanded operations into the US. Today, the Oyster fleet represents several design generations, each one building on the experience and success of its predecessor.
