Westport Yacht Charter
Westport spent its first three decades building commercial fishing vessels and passenger ferries for the North Pacific, about as unforgiving a brief as boatbuilding offers, and then spent the 1980s and 90s moulding hulls for other people's yacht brands, Christensen among them. It only turned to building its own luxury yachts in 1997, backed by Bayliner's founder John Orin Edson.

About the shipyard
That history explains the method. Westport tools a hull properly and then builds it repeatedly, rather than starting each project from nothing. Decks come out of one-piece moulds that integrate coamings, seat bases and even the hot tub as a single unit, so hull and superstructure fit exactly. A 40m yacht arrives in a fraction of the usual time with the bugs already found.
Composite at this size is the enabling decision: lighter than steel, quick enough to be useful, and consistent in a way custom builds rarely manage. The W130 launched at Fort Lauderdale in 2001 and remains the definitive example.

Chartering a Westport: common questions
- How many Westport yachts can I charter?
- We currently list 13 of them available for charter, across 12 countries. Availability moves week to week, so ask us for live dates on any yacht that interests you.
- What size are the Westport yachts on Boatcrowd?
- They run from 26m to 50m. Larger yachts carry more crew and more space per guest rather than simply more guests, so tell us your group size and we will point you at the right end of the range.
- What does a week of Westport charter cost?
- As an indicative guide, the median weekly rate across the Westport fleet we list is $120,000, a base rate before APA and tax. Size, season and where you board move it most, so a broker prices the whole week for your dates.
- Where is the Westport fleet based?
- The Westport yachts we list are based mainly in these countries, most common first: Bahamas (3 yachts), Alaska (2 yachts), British Virgin Islands (2 yachts), Antigua and Barbuda (1 yacht). Many cruise well beyond their home port, so tell us the waters you have in mind and a broker will check what is close.
