Motor yacht Boardwalk is a tri-deck superyacht which can accommodate up to 12 guests in 6 cabins including the owner suite. The Westport 164 yacht series was developed using three dimensional modelling and structural software applications also used in the aviation industry. With yacht boardwalk, like the other seven 164 motor yachts, Westport design and engineering teams collaborated with the well regarded superyacht designer Donald Starkey as well as the prominent naval architect William Garden.

The result of the design team is a refined hull form which is capable of exceptional ocean going performance as well an innovative accommodation layout in her interior. This balances the yacht’s interior and on-deck spaces for maximum enjoyment and versatility, and a contemporary styling that ensures lasting appeal. Boardwalk was designed for entertaining and relaxed socializing and her saloon opens up onto her spacious large covered aft deck with lounge, conversation areas and a wet bar.

With M/Y Boardwalk’s six ensuite stateroom layout, there is an main deck full beam master suite for the yacht owner which provides a luxurious private retreat. The master suite integrates the finest fabrics, cabinetry, stone and leathers into a stylish design. The innovative interior layout arrangement also includes a top deck VIP suite which leads to its own sun deck. There is also a large formal dining room situated adjacent to the yacht’s commercial grade galley.   An aft water toy and tender garage clears away any equipment which is not in use.
