The vessel is powered by a Volvo Penta MD30a 62HP diesel engine with shaft drive and has up to 8 berths with 2 heads. This aft cabin vessel has a great layout below decks and excellent seakeeping abilities, even in heavy weather. This Oyster 435 is equipped with a Raymarine Axiom 9 chart plotter and AIS, which were installed in 2018, radar, VHF, Vetus 75KGF bow thruster fitted in 2010, autopilot, wind generator, water maker, Webasto blow air heating, and a full winter cover that has been used every winter in her current ownership. The vessel is located at Shotley marina and viewing is by appointment only.
