Westport Yachts

Westport Yachts was founded in 1964 as a builder of vessels for the North Pacific fishing industry and later produced commercial passenger boats. Westport Shipyard built over 200 commercial boats, instilling in the company a deep respect for the sea and a passion for achieving the level of quality and safety that ocean travel demands.

That passion endured as Westport transitioned to building luxury yachts, and today anchors their mission to build American megayachts of exceptional integrity, performance, and comfort. Westport Yachts is considered a leader in all-composite construction and has worked closely with the composites industry, even pioneering new techniques and materials that are currently used throughout the yachting industry.
