Broker Overview

The 2002 Westport 130 represents a significant opportunity for a discerning buyer seeking a proven, large-volume motor yacht. Westport has an established reputation for robust fiberglass construction, excellent seakeeping, and a well-engineered platform, making this model a staple in the 100-130 foot segment. This particular vessel, built in 2002, benefits from the shipyard's consistent quality control and a layout that prioritizes guest comfort and operational efficiency. Powered by twin MTU 12V4000 engines, it offers reliable performance and a respectable cruising range. The five-cabin configuration is ideal for private use or charter operations, providing ample accommodation for owners and guests. While an older model, the Westport 130's timeless design and solid construction mean its value proposition remains strong, particularly when considering its asking price of $7,950,000. Any buyer should factor in a comprehensive survey and a budget for potential refit or modernization, but the underlying quality of a Westport provides an excellent foundation for such an investment. This is a serious yacht for serious cruising, offering considerable space and capability.

Expert Review

The Westport 130 is a highly regarded semi-displacement motor yacht, known for its robust construction and comfortable ride. Built with a solid fiberglass hull, these vessels are designed for serious offshore cruising, offering stability and a relatively dry passage even in challenging conditions. The engineering spaces are typically well-laid out, reflecting Westport's focus on operational practicality. When considering a 2002 model, a thorough pre-purchase survey is paramount. Pay close attention to engine hours and service records for the MTU 12V4000s, as well as the condition of the Northern Lights generators. Inspect the condition of the deck hardware, teak decks, and all systems, including HVAC, navigation electronics, and stabilization. While the interior may show signs of its age, the underlying structure and machinery are often sound. Compared to similar-sized yachts from European builders, the Westport 130 often offers more interior volume and a more accessible price point for its capabilities, making it a strong contender for value-conscious buyers.
