Introduction & Legacy The Westport 117, often referred to simply as W117 | 35m, is the latest flagship in Westport Yachts' storied lineup. Launched as the successor to the long-running and highly successful Westport 112, the W117 marks a significant leap forward in design, technology, and sustainability. Design, Construction & Environmental Impact Built using vacuum-infused composite molding, including vinylester resin, e-glass with foam core, and structural carbon fiber framing, the W117 blends lightness with strength. Developed with three-dimensional modeling and aviation-grade structural software, it’s engineered to meet rigorous standards for performance and classing. Significantly, the new hull design accommodates a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system an advanced emissions-control technology—demonstrating Westport’s commitment to sustainability. Built to ABS (American Bureau of Shipping) standards, it carries the A1 Yachting Service AMS Class notation. Interior Style & Flow Westport has departed from its traditionally heavy-paneled interiors in favor of a more modern aesthetic. The main salon and dining areas utilize a palette of whites, grays, leather, and vinyl accents, with luxurious woods like mahogany and pomelle sapele in guest areas and beech in crew spaces. Large panoramic windows flood the interiors with natural light and create an open feel. The galley is designed more like a residential kitchen, featuring an island, breakfast nook, fridge/freezer units, and easy access to side decks—ideal for interactive cooking and socializing.
