CHASING DAYLIGHT is a 50-metre Westport motor yacht that lives up to her name, a fast, elegant and endlessly versatile charter yacht that reaches the next anchorage sooner than expected and packs every day with adventure from dawn to dusk. Built by Westport in 2008 as the fourth hull of the proven W164 series and designed by Donald Starkey, she was refitted in 2018 and given an extensive interior refresh in 2020, leaving her in top condition with timeless, warm-wood elegance throughout. Her defining quality is speed with substance: a top speed of 26 knots and a comfortable 20-knot cruise mean guests spend more time enjoying destinations and less time in transit, while zero-speed stabilisers keep her serene at anchor and an elevator services all levels for effortless movement throughout. Guests feel right at home in her contemporary-styled interior, where expansive windows flood the spaces with natural light and frame sea views from every room. The main salon combines lounge and formal dining into one large, sociable space centred on a grand oval table seating all 12 guests, with sofas and armchairs arranged around a widescreen TV for relaxed after-dinner evenings. A separate skylounge on the bridge deck provides another desirable space to unwind and socialise. Outdoor living is where CHASING DAYLIGHT truly shines, offering options for relaxing and entertaining at every turn. The sundeck is the social hub, with a Jacuzzi, sunpads, a bar and a lounge area beneath panoramic views. Guests can dine alfresco on the bridge deck aft or the main deck aft, the latter also offering a lovely lounge for after-dinner drinks, with a retractable shade and full bar set-up. Her exceptional crew of 11 is renowned for creating one-of-a-kind experiences, from themed dinners to watersports instruction and fishing expertise. Accommodation is arranged for 12 guests across six staterooms. The king-bed master suite is privately located forward on the main deck with an adjoining office and a plush marble en-suite. A king VIP on the bridge deck wows guests with its own private balcony and rounded layout. The remaining staterooms on the lower deck include two king-bed rooms, a convertible twin/queen and a double with a Pullman, offering a genuinely flexible, family-friendly layout. A wide selection of water toys, including three-person WaveRunners, Sea Bobs, Lift Foils, kayaks, paddleboards, waterskis for adults and children, sportfishing equipment and a full dive kit, keeps active guests entertained, supported by a 37-foot Everglades centre-console tender. CHASING DAYLIGHT cruises the Bahamas and Caribbean in winter and Alaska in summer. Named for the way she lets guests seize every hour of light, CHASING DAYLIGHT combines speed, comfort and a genuinely energetic crew to deliver a charter that feels effortless whether crossing to a distant island or lingering over a long lunch at anchor. Consistently regarded as one of the best-value Westport 164s on the market, she offers the complete charter experience with bang for the buck at every turn. Available through Northrop and Johnson. Her transatlantic-capable range and proven W164 pedigree make her equally at home on ambitious itineraries and relaxed island-hopping weeks.
