Company Profile - Shipyards

Westport Yachts was founded in 1964 and launched it's first hull in 1965.

Our original focus on ocean-going craft for the North Pacific commercial fishing fleet has become a cornerstone of our dedication to quality design and construction, and is reflected in the steadfast seaworthiness of each motoryacht we have built.

Westport builds composite yachts exclusively.

Composite construction offers a number of significant advantages that ensure proven performance for a more enjoyable yachting experience.

  • Thanks to their lighter weight, composite yachts are faster and more fuel-efficient than their comparably powered steel or aluminum counterparts.
  • A composite structure effectively isolates and absorbs sound, reducing hull and mechanical noise levels for quiet operation and more enjoyable cruising, underway and at anchor.
  • Similarly, a composite yacht offers superior thermal insulation properties, making it easier to air condition for reduced operating costs greater comfort onboard.
  • Composite materials don't corrode, and so require less maintenance than metal. You spend more time on the water while reducing upkeep and maintenance costs.
  • A composite yacht offers exceptional structural integrity to ensure year after year of trouble-free service for supremely enjoyable cruising and maximum return at resale time.
Westport leads the industry in composite technology, combining advanced methods and materials with time-honored craftsmanship and skill to produce elegant motoryachts that embody the very best of composite's many attributes.
