Broker Overview

The 2014 Westport 40M, 'Far Niente,' represents a compelling opportunity in the large motor yacht sector. As Hull 4011, this vessel benefits from Westport's established pedigree for robust construction and reliable systems, a reputation earned over decades. This particular 40M stands out as the 'best value' on the market, a claim supported by its recent comprehensive refits and maintenance. A full paint job in 2022 and complete generator rebuilds in October 2023 demonstrate a proactive ownership approach, ensuring critical systems are current. The recently completed 10-year ABS special survey further de-risks the acquisition for a discerning buyer, confirming structural and mechanical integrity to classification society standards. With accommodation for ten guests in five staterooms, including an on-deck master, and a lightly stained mahogany interior, the layout is both luxurious and functional. The 20+ knot cruising speed, combined with Naiad zero-speed stabilizers, offers both performance and comfort. Its successful charter history indicates proven operational reliability and guest appeal. While it is a 2014 model, the extensive recent work and classification status position it strongly against newer, higher-priced alternatives. This is a serious yacht for a serious buyer looking for proven performance and luxury with mitigated immediate capital expenditure concerns.

Why This Boat Stands Out

Recently completed 10-year ABS special survey, ensuring structural and mechanical integrity.
Full paint job (2022) and generator rebuilds (2023) significantly reduce immediate refit costs.
Proven Westport pedigree with 20+ knot cruising speed and zero-speed stabilizers.
Accommodates 10 guests in 5 staterooms, including an on-deck master, with a contemporary interior.
Strong value proposition in the 40-meter market given condition and recent investments.

Expert Review

The Westport 40M series is a well-regarded platform, known for its robust fiberglass construction and reliable systems. This vessel’s 20+ knot cruising speed, powered by twin MTU DDC 12V4000 engines, provides excellent performance for its size. Sea-keeping is generally good, especially with the Naiad zero-speed stabilizers, offering comfort at anchor and underway. Build quality is consistent with Westport's reputation for semi-custom yachts, focusing on durability and functionality. For a survey, pay close attention to engine hours post-rebuild, shaft alignment, and the condition of all auxiliary systems, particularly HVAC and sanitation, which can be costly on a yacht of this size. The recently completed 10-year ABS survey is a significant advantage, providing a recent, independent assessment of critical structural and mechanical components. Value for money is strong here, considering the recent paint and generator work, which are substantial expenses. Comparables might include certain models from Trinity or Christensen from a similar era, but few will offer the same combination of recent investment and classification status at this price point.
