The 27-metre Oyster sailing yacht Karibu has been sold with Alastair Shove of Carrswood Yachts representing the seller and Jeremy Comport of Ocean Independence introducing the new owner. Karibu was built in GRP by Oyster Yachts to a design by Rob Humphreys and launched in 2013 as the second hull in the shipyard's Oyster 885 flagship series. She changed hands in 2021 and the then-owner had the yacht entirely refitted and re-launched in May 2022.
