Westport Yachts, the Washington State yard known for resin-infused composite construction and a Pacific Northwest design sensibility, produces motor yachts from 40 to over 60 metres with hulls that are lighter and quieter than comparable steel builds of similar size. The yard’s composite method has been refined over decades, and the resulting hulls carry good volume for their displacement while burning less fuel than steel alternatives at equivalent speeds.
Saint Kitts and Nevis offer a self-contained two-island circuit well-suited to a Westport charter. Saint Kitts presents the volcanic peak of Mount Liamuiga, the Brimstone Hill Fortress UNESCO site, and the Caribbean-facing anchorages of Frigate Bay and White House Bay. Nevis, through The Narrows, adds Pinneys Beach, the plantation hotel belt in the hills, and the characteristic cone of Nevis Peak visible from the anchorage at Charlestown. Westport charter rates in the Caribbean fall between 85,000 and 220,000 euros per week. The advance provisioning allowance adds around 30 percent.
Port Zante in Basseterre handles fuel, provisioning, and marina berths. Frigate Bay is the most comfortable overnight anchorage on Saint Kitts. The Narrows crossing to Nevis is short and straightforward, with Oualie Beach to the north and Charlestown to the south as the main Nevisian stops.
