US shipyard Westport Yachts has announced that construction on three 41-metre yachts from its new W135 | 41m line is officially underway.
Known as the "enhanced Westport 125", the model features an extended hull for enhanced performance and to accommodate a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system, which helps to minimise emissions.
"These new builds mark another significant milestone in Westport's history of crafting timeless vessels, with a dedication to craftsmanship, engineering, and luxury. The decision to initiate spec builds on these three 135 | 41m motor yachts underscore Westport's confidence in the demand for premium, high-performance vessels in the luxury yacht market," said Westport Yachts.
Accommodation on the W135 is for 10 people across five cabins, including an owner's suite on the main deck, plus further provision for a crew of five. Additional space in the aft guest cabins allow for the inclusion of king-size beds.
Daryl Wakefield, president of Westport Yachts, commented: "We are thrilled to announce the commencement of spec builds on these three exceptional 135 |41m motor yachts. At Westport, we strive to exceed expectations with every vessel we build, and these yachts will be no exception.
He continued: "As a leader in the industry, Westport Yachts continues to redefine the standards of luxury. The enhanced 135 | 41m model reflects our dedication to innovation, sustainability, and delivering unparalleled experiences for our discerning clientele."
Powered by twin MTU engines, the yachts can reach top speeds of 25 knots with a cruising speed of 20 knots.
