For Sale: 2008 Westport 130

Antares, a 2008 Westport 130, accommodates 10 guests in five staterooms, plus five in three crew cabins. Previously chartered for $120,000 per week during the winter months, Antares has been well maintained and upgraded over the past few years. Allied Marine has put Antares on the market for $11.89M. 

Speaking of the Westport 130, which was first introduced in 2000, “Her naval architect is Bill Garden, whose portfolio is bulging with both sailboats and powercraft of considerable renown. Her hull form is an especially efficient one. The narrow angle of her bow cuts the water cleanly with a noticeable lack of fuss, and her wake is as minimal as possible given her size and displacement. It’s something Garden honed to perfection on years of sailing-hull designs and brings to his motoryacht designs with aplomb. The fine lines forward mean the crew quarters are pushed aft a bit farther than normal, putting the guest accommodations near the yacht’s center of pitch for added guest comfort,” Yachting previously reported.

Antares is powered by twin MTU 12V 4000 M90 diesel engines, delivering approximately 5,470 horsepower. These engines allow the yacht to cruise comfortably at around 20 knots with a top speed of 24 knots. Range is just over 3,000 nautical miles at a 12-knot cruising speed. 

Allied Marine stated that “Antares has the look and feel of a brand new yacht.”
