2008 Oyster 56 Deck Saloon "Manitou"

MANITOU - 2008 OYSTER 56 G5 DECK SALOON | HULL #61 | SAN DIEGO

Manitou is a well-maintained 2008 Oyster 56 G5 Deck Saloon with over $90,000 in documented maintenance and upgrade items since 2021, including rig, sails, electronics, lithium batteries, and thru-hulls. Receipts available.

The Boat

The G5 deck saloon is the one Oyster 56 owners actually want - more interior volume, better headroom, and windows that make the saloon feel connected to the outside rather than buried in the hull. Triple spreader cutter rig, bulb keel, skeg-hung rudder. Four cabins, two heads, seven berths. A serious offshore layout that lives well at the dock too.
