Up at the helm of the Westport 130, there are two well-supported helm seats and a wrap-around set of displays for running the yacht. Elevated guest seating has also been installed behind the helm seats to enable guests to be involved when the yacht is underway.
The main access to the captain and crew quarters and engine room is at the aft of the yacht, an area that comes with its very own workshop (complete with a vice and tool drawers) to make maintenance easier. Stepping in further, you are met by a pair of MTU 2,735hp V12 engines capable of propelling the yacht along at a cruising speed of 20 knots.
