Westport 112 Mk 2 Review (2014 Edition) by Aquaholic

On Deck

The Westport 112 showcases a polished exterior with high bulwarks that instill a sense of security while moving around the vessel. Key features include keyhole seating at the bow and sunbathing areas with secure rails, allowing for relaxation and social gatherings. The flybridge is equipped with a hardtop and flexible isinglass panels that can convert the space from an open-air experience to a semi-indoor area, adapting to various weather conditions. Additional exterior amenities include a bar, jet ski storage with a crane for easy deployment, and potential space for a tender on the boat deck.

The flybridge stands out as a prime entertainment zone with its adaptable enclosure, a bar for hosting, and plenty of seating. For navigation, there's an upper helm with seats that can be rotated to face the controls, along with modern touchscreen panels. The sundeck area also offers ample space for sunbathing and a jacuzzi, further emphasizing the yacht's focus on leisure and social interaction.

Inside, the yacht radiates warmth and elegance with its dark mahogany wood in a satin finish, complemented by light carpets and upholstery. The saloon is a testament to comfort, boasting sideboard areas for storage, a card table, and a dining area. The country kitchen, with its residential feel, serves as the heart of the yacht, encouraging social gatherings with its large island and seating. The boat also includes convenient amenities such as a dishwasher, refrigeration, and laundry facilities.

The helm area is expansive and well-equipped, featuring a classic steering wheel, new touchscreen navigation systems, and a full suite of controls, including thrusters and autopilot. The helm offers excellent visibility and is complemented by sophisticated communication systems and a joystick-controlled camera network for monitoring the yacht’s surroundings.

Owner's Cabin

The owner's suite is an embodiment of luxury, with double doors that enhance the sense of spaciousness. It includes a lavish en suite with a unique central shower accessible from both sides. The suite also features a dressing table/desk, Japanese-style blinds, and a vast walk-in wardrobe.

Guest Accommodation

In addition to the owner's suite, there are three guest cabins, each exuding the same level of comfort and luxury. These include a separate double cabin on the main deck and two more cabins on the lower deck, one with twin beds and another with a double bed. Each cabin has its own en suite, maintaining guest comfort and privacy.

Crew Accommodation

The crew quarters are thoughtfully designed, featuring a large mess area with cooking and refrigeration facilities, and three cabins, including a captain's cabin with a desk and an en suite. The shared en suite for the crew cabins offers guest-standard quality, reflecting the overall high standard of the yacht.

Powered by twin MTU 16V2000 engines, each delivering 2,000 horsepower, the Westport 112 can reach a top speed of approximately 25 knots, with a fast cruise of 22 knots. For extended voyages, the yacht offers a remarkable range of 2,500 miles at a 12-knot cruise. The immaculate engine room is a clear indicator of the yacht's regular maintenance.

Throughout the tour, Nick expresses his admiration for the Westport 112, particularly impressed by the yacht's voluminous interior, high-quality finishings, and the family-oriented design. The vessel's immaculate condition, despite being in active use, and the well-appointed accommodations for both guests and crew are notable highlights.

Nick appreciates the yacht’s capability for both fast cruising and extended range, underscoring its versatility. His overall thoughts convey that the Westport 112 is not just a means of luxury travel but a true home on the water, embodying the American lifestyle of comfort, family, and social gatherings.
