Broker Overview

The 2002 Westport 130, currently asking $7,950,000, represents a compelling opportunity in the large motor yacht market. Westport has a well-earned reputation for robust, semi-custom builds that hold their value, and this 130-footer is a prime example. Powered by twin MTU 12V4000 engines, this vessel offers reliable performance and a respectable cruising range, making it suitable for both coastal and extended offshore passages. The five-cabin layout provides ample accommodation for owners and guests, a critical factor for charter potential or large families. While a 2002 build, Westport's timeless design and quality construction mean these yachts age gracefully, provided they've received diligent maintenance. The asking price reflects a competitive position for a yacht of this size, pedigree, and engine package. Buyers should anticipate a thorough survey and potentially some cosmetic updates, common for a vessel of this vintage, but the underlying platform is sound. This is a yacht that delivers proven performance and comfort, a practical choice for a discerning buyer looking for a well-established superyacht without the new build premium.

Expert Review

The Westport 130 series is a benchmark in the semi-custom superyacht segment, known for its solid fiberglass hull construction and excellent sea-keeping capabilities. These yachts are built to handle open ocean conditions comfortably, a testament to Westport's engineering. The MTU 12V4000 engines are a workhorse choice, offering a good balance of power and efficiency, though their maintenance schedule is critical. When considering a 2002 model, a pre-purchase survey must be exhaustive, focusing on engine hours, service records, generator health, and the condition of all major systems including HVAC, stabilizers, and navigation electronics. Pay close attention to any signs of deferred maintenance, particularly in the engine room and bilges. Comparables might include certain Lazzara or Hatteras models of similar vintage and size, but Westport generally holds a stronger resale value due to its consistent build quality. This yacht offers significant value for its asking price, provided the survey confirms a well-maintained vessel.
