Westport, based in Washington State, has produced semi-custom fiberglass motor yachts in the 34 to 55 metre range for more than four decades, building a reputation for structural quality, fuel-efficient propulsion and well-executed American interior style. The brand’s charter fleet is popular with repeat guests who value the reliability of the platform and the crew continuity that comes with well-maintained Westport programmes. For a charter in Freeport, a Westport provides a solid operational base. The Gulf Stream crossing from Florida is routine for the hull form, and Port Lucaya Marina in Freeport handles the clearance, provisioning and fuel needs efficiently. From there, Gold Rock Beach in Lucayan National Park is 20 minutes east by tender , a two-kilometre stretch of protected Bahamian beach that rewards a full morning ashore. UNEXSO at Port Lucaya provides expert-guided diving for those in the party who hold certification. Pelican Point’s reef and Dead Man’s Reef west of the marina are excellent snorkelling sites reachable without an extended tender run. Charter rates for Westport yachts in the Bahamas run from approximately 50,000 to 180,000 euros per week before expenses. The advance provisioning allowance of around 30 per cent covers fuel, provisioning, dockage and crew gratuity. December through April is peak Bahamas season. Westport’s loyal repeat charter following reflects the consistent quality of the build and the professional crew programmes that accompany the brand’s best-maintained vessels.
