BETSY

Overview

A great family cruising yacht with 3 staterooms midship and 2 staterooms forward accommodating 10 guests including crew. Her full-beam salon offers a generous and comfortable living area, which has been beautifully updated. The galley is open with a large dinette with seating. There are numerous areas to enjoy outdoor space including the aft deck, cockpit, flybridge, and bow.

The raised pilothouse offers built-in seating and access to the flybridge which has a bar, additional L-shaped seating, and lots of deck lounging space plus a barbecue. This deck has childproof/pet protection around the rails.

The cockpit area allows for safe access to the engine room while running and convenient access to the water for diving, swimming, fishing, and watersports.  

Westport has been building yachts in the USA since the 1980s, they are a respected shipbuilder that continues to deliver yachts. This factory-built cockpit motoryacht is designed with shallow prop pockets keeping her draft to 5’9”, which is perfect for the East Coast, Gulf Coast, Florida Keys, and the Bahamas. She is a hard-chined, nice-running semi-displacement hull. Westport built the hull and superstructure in 1997, while her finish work was completed at Westbay Sonship in 1998. The first owner of this boat had her for 15 years. Her current owner has proudly cared for and upgraded this yacht for the last 4 years. This is her third owner.

From the cockpit, there are port and starboard molded stairs leading up to the aft deck. The covered aft deck is furnished with aft curved built-in seating, a teak dining table, and occasional teak deck chairs. To the starboard corner is a stainless-steel staircase leading up to the boat deck with a hatch closing door.

To starboard is a step-down bar that allows for unobstructed views through her windows while seated anywhere in the salon. To port is an L-shaped sectional sofa. The forward salon bulkhead houses an 82” Translucent mirror TV by Clearview (new in 2021) coupled with the electric blackout blinds creating an amazing theatre experience.

From the salon moving forward on starboard side is a day head and a deck entry door, forward of this is access to the pilothouse, galley, and 2 cabins forward.
