VALINOR is a 50-metre Westport motor yacht built for owners with an appetite for adventure, combining proven American craftsmanship with the ability to cruise the world’s most remote destinations at speeds approaching 20 knots. Delivered in 2013 as hull 11 of only 14 of the coveted Westport 164 model, and designed inside and out by Donald Starkey, she blends contemporary sophistication with a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes guests feel instantly at home. Her semi-displacement GRP hull, built on Westport’s exhaustively engineered design, delivers exceptional seakeeping and fast, daylight-friendly crossings, while her recent exploration of the South Pacific proves her genuine long-range capability. A comprehensive 10-year ABS special survey completed in 2022 leaves her totally turnkey and ready for any cruising ground. From the moment guests step aboard, VALINOR feels expansive and inviting, like a much larger yacht. Bathed in natural light through expansive windows, her main salon is an entertainer’s dream that flows seamlessly to the aft deck, where a cosy lounge area is perfect for morning coffee or a pre-dinner aperitif. Upstairs, the skylounge offers another wonderful social space complete with a full bar and panoramic views, leading out to a stunning alfresco dining area. Her defining feature, though, is the expansive sundeck, where guests will likely spend most of their time: a spacious Jacuzzi forward, a full bar, generous sunpads and gym equipment aft, all wrapped in unbeatable 360-degree views ideal for soaking up the sun or enjoying sunset cocktails. Two bonus terraces off the bridge deck side decks, accessed through wind doors, and a versatile bow area for toys and tenders add further flexibility to her already generous deck spaces. Accommodation is arranged for 12 guests across six staterooms. The magnificent master suite is uniquely located on the bridge deck, a private oasis with its own balcony, a steam shower and a walk-in closet, offering privacy and views unmatched at this size. A VIP stateroom sits forward on the main deck with a large marble-clad en-suite, while below, two king staterooms and two twin cabins, each with Pullman berths, provide a genuinely family-friendly layout. Every stateroom features an en-suite bath and full amenities. For adventure lovers, VALINOR carries an impressive collection of water toys, including a 34-foot Regulator chase boat, Sea-Doos, Lift foils, Seabobs and paddleboards. With zero-speed stabilisers, touch-and-go helicopter capability, Starlink connectivity and a dynamic crew delivering seven-star service, VALINOR offers the perfect balance of luxury, comfort and adventure across the Bahamas and Caribbean. Able to accommodate up to 15 guests in her flexible layout when required, and equipped with a tender garage plus generous bow storage for toys and tenders, VALINOR is genuinely ready for extended cruising in the world’s most remote and rewarding destinations. Her combination of interior volume, deck space, speed and American build quality is hard to match at 50 metres, and with her crew of up to 12 delivering seven-star service, every moment of a charter aboard VALINOR is designed to be unforgettable. Available now through Northrop and Johnson. Her semi-displacement hull, proven across thousands of miles of open water, ensures smooth and reliable cruising whether crossing oceans or hopping between Caribbean anchorages.
