A number of Westport yachts are available for charter through Worldwide Boat, including Westport’s 112-, 130- and 164-foot superyachts.
Westport’s Storied History in Nautical Engineering
Westport has long been a ship builder. In fact, the company was originally launched in 1964, first establishing itself as a producer of fishing boats, passenger ferries and other commercial vessels.
Based in Washington state, Westport was one of the first shipbuilders to popularize the use of composite materials in construction, and today, the Westport remains a leader in composite design and construction. Composite fiberglass – now widely used in yacht construction – maximizes the life of the vessel, while reducing maintenance costs due to its superior sturdiness, and it’s one reason Westport’s yacht are some of the most popular on the market.
To date, Westport has developed 200 different commercial ships and yachts. And in the last three decades, the company is widely recognized as a leader in superyacht construction. Today, Westport specializes in raised-pilothouse and tri-deck motor yachts in the 30-50 meter range.
