ANTARES Yacht for Sale

ANTARES is a true embodiment of luxury and craftsmanship, showcasing the highest standards of yacht construction. Built in 2008 by the renowned Washington-based yacht maker Westport, she stands as a testament to the company's 50+ years of expertise in creating bespoke, high-performance yachts. Known for their unparalleled craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail, Westport has once again proven their excellence with the creation of ANTARES.

Her timeless exterior design boasts sleek, functional lines that effortlessly combine elegance with performance. The Westport hull is crafted using a sophisticated blend of fiberglass mat and stitched roving, combined with vinylester resin and PVC linear cores to provide exceptional strength, durability, and minimal print-through. The lamination process incorporates a variety of advanced materials, including foam cores and high-density sections, resulting in a yacht with outstanding structural integrity. It is this unparalleled attention to material quality, design precision, and performance that has earned ANTARES her well-deserved reputation as one of the finest yachts in her class.
