    The Oyster 53, Leyla, is an exceptional example of this successful, high-quality, raised salon, center cockpit design. The owner selected the Oyster 53 because of the superior design and construction, the excellent reputation of the builder, and superb post-delivery services. Her attractive raised saloon styling and spacious interior with exquisite joinery are Oyster features that established Oyster as a premier semi-custom builder of performance ocean cruising yachts. Leyla’s systems and engineering are extraordinary.

    The current owner is very involved in Leyla’s maintenance, and no expense has been spared to keep her in top cosmetic and mechanical condition. The comprehensive equipment list includes an electric stowaway mainmast, electric winches, dinghy davits, liferaft, bow thruster, 7.5 KW 220v generator, inverter, reverse cycle air conditioning, and custom double leaf cockpit table.

    Leyla was built in Oyster’s Landamores Yard in England and commissioned at Fox Yard in Ipswich, UK. Leyla is fully commissioned and ready for her new owners to begin cruising with the confidence that they have one of the world’s finest cruising yachts.
