Westport is a U.S. yacht and boat builder based in Westport, Washington. Founded in 1964 as Westport Shipyard, the company began with commercial fishing vessels and later expanded into luxury motor yachts and other commercial marine craft. It is known for composite construction and for building large vessels in North America.
History and shipyard
Westport was established in 1964 in Westport, Washington, on the Pacific Northwest coast. Its early work focused on commercial fishing boats for the salmon fleet, and the yard later added passenger vessels as well as other commercial craft. In the late 1970s and 1980s, Westport shifted toward luxury yachts as the fishing industry declined. The company became known for large, rugged vessels built for long-range operation in demanding waters.
Model range and design
Westport’s yacht range includes models such as the 98, 112, 130, and 164, with the 164 serving as the flagship series. The builder is associated with composite construction and modular production methods, which helped it scale from commercial boats to superyachts. Westport has also produced commercial vessels alongside private yachts, giving the brand a mixed portfolio rather than a single pure-luxury focus. Its reputation is tied to large U.S.-built motoryachts with practical offshore engineering.

Its main tradeoffs are age, fuel burn at speed, and a design that prioritizes space and function over the latest styling.Read review →
