Which hold value best
Share of asking price lost for each year of age. Shorter is better. The tick marks the same type of boat from other builders. Models need 20 boats across six build years, and a consistent fit, to be ranked.
No Oyster model has 20 boats across six build years yet, so none can be ranked. None has 10 boats yet.

Questions about Oyster prices
How much does a used Oyster cost?
A used Oyster asks a median of £393,500 across 60 boats listed since Aug 2020, in today's prices. The middle half ask between £217,000 and £734,000. These are asking prices, not sold prices.
Does an Oyster hold its value?
Across the range, a used Oyster loses about 4.9% of its asking price for each year of age, against 3.7% for the same types of boat from other builders.
Why is an Oyster model missing a price?
We publish a model once five boats have been listed. 29 models are listed above with their count so far, including the Oyster 37, the Oyster 39 and the Oyster 47, and will get a published figure when they reach five.
