About Westship Yachts
History & Legacy
Westship Yachts emerged as a respected American builder known for producing strong, seaworthy composite motor yachts throughout the 1990s and early 2000s. With roots in commercial shipbuilding and high-quality fiberglass construction, the yard established a reputation for reliability, craftsmanship, and long-range capability. Their yachts continue to hold value thanks to durable build standards and timeless design.
Custom Yacht Design Approach
Westship focused on semi-custom platforms that allowed owners to personalize interior layouts, finish work, and performance features. Their construction style prioritized practical cruising needs, resulting in generous volume, wide-beam designs, and thoughtful onboard flow. This balance of customization and proven hull engineering helped create yachts that were both individualized and dependable.
Notable Builds
The builder is best known for its 100–130 ft composite motor yachts, several of which remain active in private ownership and charter fleets today. These models earned strong followings for their stability, interior space, and family-friendly layouts. Westship’s repeat owners and long-term captains reflect the brand’s reliability and ease of maintenance.
Innovation & Technology
Westship was an early adopter of advanced composite construction techniques, using lightweight materials to deliver both strength and performance. Their engineering emphasized efficient hull forms, shallow draft capability, and systems designed for long-range operation. While sustainability was less of a focus during the era of their production, Westship’s composite methods reduced weight and improved fuel efficiency compared to many traditional builds of the time.
