About Westport - Christensen Yachts
An American Yachting Legacy
Westport‑Christensen combines two iconic Pacific Northwest shipyards with roots dating back to Westport Shipyard’s founding in 1964 and Dave Christensen’s entry into yacht building in 1982. Over three decades, Christensen delivered 44 semi/custom fiberglass superyachts ranging from 43–50 m, establishing a reputation for American craftsmanship.
Semi-Custom Design with Performance Focus
The brand blends Westport’s efficient composite production with Christensen’s in‑house finishing expertise, offering semi-custom motor yachts that balance layout flexibility with series-built reliability. Owners benefit from refined fit‑and‑finish workflows and hull molds engineered for speed, comfort, and resale value.
Flagship Builds & Esteemed Owners
Notable projects include the 49 m Chasseur, 50 m Silver Lining, and the 60 m Casino Royale, a megayacht commissioned by John Staluppi. Christensen vessels such as “Privacy,” formerly owned by Tiger Woods, highlight the builder's presence in elite superyacht circles.
Innovation in Composite Construction
Westport‑Christensen pioneered large-scale composite yacht construction using vacuum infusion and foam-core sandwich hulls, delivering strength‑to‑weight ratios far exceeding steel. Their climate-controlled facilities and advanced composite techniques result in quieter, more efficient yachts with lower maintenance.
