Westport W135 Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Westport Yachts W135 which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 10 guests with its 5 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Princess 40M offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 12 guests in 6 cabins, making them better choices for those seeking to maximise the number of family and friends they can sleep onboard. However, for maximum comfort for the owner, the W135 features a full-beam master cabin with a his and hers en-suite bathroom, a dressing table and a sofa and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. Equivalently, the Benetti Classic Supreme 132' and Horizon P130 also offer 5 cabins, but with facilities for 10 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family or group vacations.

Performance

In terms of cruising performance, the Westport Yachts W135 leads the way with an impressive cruising speed of 20 knots thanks to its twin 2,600hp MTU 16V 2000 M97L engines and maximum speed of 25 knots at 2,450rpm. Closely followed by, the Princess 40M with a respectable cruising speed of 20 knots. The Ocean Alexander 135 also impresses with a cruising speed of 17 knots. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Benetti Classic Supreme 132', with the slowest cruising speed of 14 knots, emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and enjoying the journey over the destination.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Horizon P130 impresses with its extensive range of 4,606 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Ocean Alexander 135, Horizon P130 and Benetti Classic Supreme 132' all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Princess 40M is especially impressive, with a top speed of 23 knots and cruising speed of 20 knots. The Horizon EP150 has an impressive gross tonnage of 491GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Westport W135 stands out with notable features and design elements. These yachts cater to a wide range of preferences and needs, making the choice a matter of personal taste and specific requirements in the world of luxury yachting.
