In the world of luxury yachts, the name Westport has become synonymous with elegance, craftsmanship, and uncompromising quality. Among its impressive lineup, the 112′ Westport model holds a special place. This magnificent vessel has delighted boating enthusiasts and discerning owners around the world, combining exceptional performance with luxurious amenities. In this blog, we embark on a journey through time to uncover the captivating history of the 112′ Westport model.
The 112’ slots in nicely within the Westport lineup as its 4-stateroom option that can accommodate 8 guests with about 4-5 crew. In comparison, the 125’ and 130’ Westports are the next step up, as they provide accommodations for 10 guests in 5 staterooms with 5-6 crew. While these yachts certainly have the same build quality and timeless design Westport is known for, there is no denying that the 112’ model has had more staying power being in production since 1994, while the larger models have been in production for a shorter period with the 125’ model eventually replacing the 130’ model.
The 112′ model made its grand debut in the early 1990s, designed to cater to the desires of discerning yacht owners who sought a balance between spaciousness, performance, and luxurious features. With its sleek lines, graceful profile and timeless appeal, this iconic model captured the attention of yachting enthusiasts worldwide.
As of 2022, Westport has delivered a staggering 65 hulls from its Washington state based yard since 1994. This is a testament to the longevity of the model, and how forward-thinking the layout and design are. In 2008, the yard started offering this luxury yacht in an optional layout with a main-deck owner’s stateroom. The classic yacht originally featured an owner’s stateroom, a VIP stateroom, and 2 twin staterooms belowdecks. Additionally, a delightful country kitchen graced the main deck forward. In its new configuration, this vessel continues to provide exceptional accommodations with 4 staterooms below. However, the 4th stateroom has transformed into an upper/lower suite. The owner’s stateroom has been reimagined, occupying the space where the country kitchen once resided, now positioned all the way forward on the main deck. It boasts a spacious head, conveniently located a few steps down under the foredecks, thoughtfully utilizing the area previously occupied by the below-deck owner’s stateroom.
Apart from these enhancements, much remains unchanged in both versions of the vessel. A generously proportioned salon, a dining room, a well-appointed galley, and an open-yet-protected afterdeck adorn the main level, ensuring ample space for relaxation and entertainment. Moreover, the topside and forward areas offer expansive open spaces for leisure activities, ensuring a truly enjoyable experience for all on board.
