Introducing DRAGONFLY, hull #2 of the legendary Oyster 56 series -- Oyster's most successful bluewater model. Originally commissioned by Oyster Yachts' founder Richard Matthews, she was built to showcase the very best of Oyster craftsmanship and performance. With a striking American white oak interior, an extended carbon fibre keel-stepped mast (+4.5ft), fully battened mainsail, and oversized deck hardware, she stands out even among her highly respected sisterships.

Having recently completed a three-year family half-circumnavigation, Dragonfly is fully equipped for serious offshore cruising. She's been professionally maintained throughout her life and boasts a strong list of recent upgrades, including:

New rod rigging (2021)

All new sails (2023)

New seacocks (2018)

New rudder bearings (2023)

New Onan genset (2018)

Passagemaking is a pleasure aboard Dragonfly. With nearly 27 tonnes of displacement, a deep lead keel, and a powerful yet balanced cutter rig, she offers a smooth and predictable motion at sea -- reducing fatigue and increasing comfort over long distances. Sail handling is stress-free thanks to hydraulic furlers, a fully battened mainsail with deep reefs, and electric winches -- all easily managed from the safety of the cockpit. Whether you're coasting in light airs or charging into heavy weather, the Oyster 56 remains stable, composed, and reassuringly capable.

If you're searching for your next home on the water, Dragonfly is ready to take you wherever you dream of -- whether that's cruising the Hauraki Gulf, getting off-grid in remote Pacific atolls, or embarking on your next world passage.
