US-based Westport Shipyards launched 38m superyacht Black Gold which is the latest addition to the Westport 125 line.


The new model represents a raised pilothouse motoryacht with ample beam for equal comfort inside and out. Accommodation is provided for up to 10 in the owner / guests' party and 5 - 6 crew inclusive of captain. The superyacht features a full-width master stateroom on deck forward with his-and-her bathrooms and wardrobes. Four ensuite guest staterooms with choice of queens or twins are privately entered from the lower deck midship foyer; exercise room may be converted from one of the guest staterooms.
The owner & guests staterooms benefit from added natural light and exterior views from the port lights and hull windows of toughened, laminated glass integrally molded into the hull. The aft-deck with integral stern boarding and veranda dining opens up to the main deck salon and formal dining area. The galley is on the main deck, secluded from guest view and includes a casual breakfast-nook dinette.
Westport continues to elevate the bar in composite fiberglass yacht construction. Engineered to American Bureau of Shipping rules, the W125 represents decades of experienced and successful naval development and execution. Powered with twin 2,600 hp MTU diesel engines, the approximate speed estimates are in excess of 20 knots.
Comfort and stability are aided by both gyro and fin stabilizing systems, bow thruster, temperature & humidity HVAC systems, hydraulic systems, and two 65 KW electric generators.
