Westport builds its motor yachts in Westport, New Zealand, using fibreglass construction and a semi-displacement hull form that provides strong fuel economy and a comfortable sea motion without sacrificing the speed charter guests expect when crossing between islands. The yard has built a steady following among experienced charterers who value reliability, practicality and consistent quality at a sensible price point. Three Westport yachts operate in Cayman Islands waters through The Yacht Collection.
The Westport fleet in the Cayman Islands is particularly suited to guests who want a high-quality charter experience without the operational complexity that comes with the largest superyachts. Vessels typically accommodate eight to ten guests in three or four cabins, supported by crews of five or six who can deliver attentive service without the formality of a larger crew complement.
Charter rates for Westport yachts in the Cayman Islands range from approximately 30,000 to 80,000 euros per week, making this fleet among the most accessible in the destination for the level of quality on offer. The advance provisioning allowance runs to around 30 percent on top of the base rate. High season in the Cayman Islands is December through April, when demand from North American and European guests keeps the best vessels fully booked.
From Georgetown on Grand Cayman, the Westport semi-displacement hull covers the 75-mile crossing to Little Cayman in comfortable time, arriving before the afternoon dive boats clear the site at Bloody Bay Marine Park. Cayman Brac and the return passage to Grand Cayman complete a satisfying week-long circuit.
