Westport is an American shipyard based in Washington State, producing fibreglass motor yachts between 40 and 54 metres under a series-build model that delivers high specification at shorter build lead times than fully custom construction. The yard is best known for the Westport 130 and Westport 164, both of which have become standard references for the mid-range American motor yacht market due to their practical layouts, reliable power systems and strong resale values. Grand Bahama Island provides a logical Bahamas entry point for Westport yachts arriving from Florida, with Old Bahama Bay marina at West End offering full customs clearance and Freeport Harbour providing alongside berths for the 40 to 54 metre hulls these vessels represent. The three Westport yachts available in this region deliver practical American design alongside solid engineering, with layouts suited to parties of eight to twelve guests across four or five cabins. Weekly charter rates typically range from 75,000 to 200,000 euros. The advance provisioning allowance of approximately 30 percent covers fuel, food, marina fees and beverages. The series-build construction model results in well-understood maintenance requirements and readily available parts, which keeps operational reliability high throughout a charter week. December through April is peak season on Grand Bahama, with settled northeast trade winds and clear Bahamas Bank water ideal for reef snorkelling, bonefishing and cave excursions.
