The Oyster 53 just might be the best cruising platform in its size. With some 55 hulls sold, the model is well regarded as a benchmark in Blue Water Sailing circles. Features like robust hand-built construction, a bright and airy saloon, high freeboard, a roomy interior, protected cockpit, ease of handling and comfort at sea are all characteristics of the Oyster 53 design. LUMA has the preferred 4 cabin layout and warm teak interior with teak and holly soles. She was built in the Windboats yard in the UK.

S/V Nala will not just show you how beautiful is the Earth you live in will also teach you how to explore magnificent places in an inexpensive way because that is what we do. We are going to introduce you to a less conventional and more sensational way of traveling because Life is three days: one day to get amazed, another to live your life, and the last one to tell your story. We find it indispensable to keep an open mind, therefore, we will not limit ourselves to one only subject, so be ready to discuss exploring as repairs and upgrades on S/V Nala. And because relaxing and Lazy Days are also important, you may start seeing cocktail beverages with other eyes after some cocktail classes and tips to practice at home.
