About Trending

Originally launched in 2006 and comprehensively refitted in 2016, the 164ft (50m) Trending by Westport combines proven naval architecture with contemporary interiors and updated systems. Her 6 staterooms sleep 12 guests in comfort, while day charters accommodate 18. A seasoned crew of 10 ensures smooth operations and attentive service.

 

Refined Comfort

The 2016 refit brought Trending up to current standards, and it shows in every detail. Stabilizers keep the yacht rock-steady at anchor and underway at 15 knots, making her a particularly good choice for guests who value calm conditions aboard. The Deck Jacuzzi, a deck jacuzzi, an on-board gym, a spa, and an elevator, and thoughtfully designed social spaces give the yacht a resort-quality feel while retaining the intimacy of a private vessel. Updated finishes throughout the interior provide a welcoming retreat after each day’s adventures.

 

Toys & Tenders

With 11 water toys stowed aboard, Trending turns every anchorage into an activity hub. The lineup includes a jet ski, a Seabob, a SUP board, water skis, a wakeboard, a kayak, towable inflatables, and surf and kite gear, while the Beach Tender provides quick access to hidden beaches and reef snorkeling spots. All equipment is maintained and set up by the crew – guests simply step in and go.

 

Your Voyage in Central America

Trending charters throughout Belize, Panama, Costa Rica and Mexico in the Central America, repositioning seasonally to offer the best cruising conditions at any time of year. The recommended charter months are Jan, Feb, Mar, Dec, when sea conditions and destination access are optimal. A refitted yacht like Trending brings peace of mind alongside luxury – updated safety systems, modern navigation, and a hull proven across thousands of sea miles. Each itinerary is tailored to the group’s interests.
