DREAM AGAIN II, a 53’ Oyster Cutter built in 2003, has been lovingly cared for and continuously upgraded, making her feel as fresh and ready for adventure as ever. Recent upgrades, including an Evolution roller furling headsail, a West Marine 10’ RIB with a 6HP Yamaha outboard and new B&G electronics, ensure that DREAM AGAIN II is outfitted for smooth, easy cruising. Not to mention the newly installed Raytheon Auto Pilot and AIS system that make navigation a breeze.

Below deck, she’s equally impressive. The bright and spacious forward cabin features a centerline double berth, a comfy upholstered seat and vanity table, and ample storage. The twin guest cabin to starboard offers cozy upper and lower berths, perfect for family or friends to bunk down after a day of fun on the water. The owner’s stateroom is your personal retreat, featuring a large, offset double berth, a curved settee and plenty of lockers and drawers to keep everything neatly tucked away.

The saloon is the heart of the yacht, designed to be a comfortable, light-filled space where everyone can gather. The oval dining table, with its beautiful burr wood inlay, is the ideal spot for sharing a meal or playing a board game. To starboard, a settee with plush stitched seating offers the perfect place to relax while to port, a two-seater provides a more intimate lounging area. Seven windows—two of which open—along with two hull portholes, allow plenty of natural light to flood in, creating an airy, inviting atmosphere. You’ll also appreciate the practical touches like the built-in drinks locker and stainless-steel bookshelves that give this yacht a homey, lived-in feel.

The galley is located to starboard in the companionway to the aft cabin. It’s fully equipped with everything you need to whip up delicious meals, including a gimballed stainless-steel cooker, a front-opening refrigerator, a freezer system, and even a microwave/grill combo. Avonite countertops and stainless-steel basin inserts provide a sleek and functional workspace, while clever storage solutions keep everything organized.

DREAM AGAIN’s GRP hull, with teak-laid decks and Oyster’s signature deck saloon profile, speaks to her quality construction. The safe cockpit is designed for easy handling and the teak-trimmed bathing platform makes it easy to take a dip in the water.
