1998 Westport 108

The 1998 Westport 108, which Yacht Access recently sold, was a prime example of why these yachts remain so highly sought after, even decades later. This particular 108, at 108 feet, offered an incredible blend of spaciousness and performance. What made it notable was its robust fiberglass hull, designed for serious cruising, not just coastal hops. For a buyer who missed this one, understand that a Westport 108 provides a fantastic platform for extended stays in the Bahamas or even crossing to the Caribbean, thanks to its substantial fuel capacity. The beam of 23 feet 9 inches translates directly into vast interior volume and a stable ride, a critical factor for comfort on longer passages. While not designed for shallow Bahamian waters, its draft is manageable for most major anchorages. These Westports are known for their semi-custom layouts, often featuring generous flybridge spaces perfect for entertaining and a well-appointed main deck for formal dining or relaxed lounging. They hold their value well because they're built to last and offer a proven, reliable cruising experience. When another Westport 108 comes to market, especially one well-maintained like this 1998 model, it represents a solid investment for serious yachting. Don't hesitate when the next one appears.

This Westport 108 was perfectly suited for luxurious, multi-week cruising with family and friends throughout the Caribbean and Bahamas, offering ample space and range for extended voyages. It was also ideal for sophisticated entertaining and corporate events, providing a stable platform and impressive amenities.

The typical buyer for a Westport 108 is an experienced yacht owner, often upgrading from a smaller motor yacht, seeking expanded living spaces and greater autonomy for long-range cruising. They appreciate proven build quality and a yacht capable of accommodating a full crew for seamless operation and service.
