Westship World Yachts, the world-renowned manufacturer and designer of luxury mega yachts, resumes full operations at new facility situated in Tampa, Florida. A newly formed company Westship Yachts, LLC has begun immediately to offer a completely new line of luxury and sport fish yachts. The Westhip Yachts features a variety of designs created by the prominent design team of Evan Marshall and Giovanni and Guiseppe Arabitto, such as a completely new 40 Meter (131 ft) Westship Tri-Deck motor yacht.
Westship 40m (131´) superyacht comfortably sleeps 8 guests and a 6-member crew. She has a maximum beam of 7,46m (24´6´´) and a maximum draught of 1.99m. Her top speed is of 25 knots (24 knots with operating stabilizers) and her cruising speed of 18.5 knots (22 knots with stabilizers not operating ).
Westship Yachts had ceased operations due to the downturn in the marine industry and the assets were purchased by Mr. Henry Respess a prominent entrepreneur, investor and passionate yachtsman. Mr. Respess remains as Chairman of the Board of Westship Yachts, LLC. He has established an experienced management team positioned to begin marketing and manufacturing of the complete new line of luxury Westship World Yachts ranging from 98 ft. to 40 Meters (131 ft.)
Chairman of the Board, Mr. Respess stated: “In the course of a lifetime of yachting and after owning and operating 6 previous yachts I had determined that a Westship Yacht would be my “dream vessel”. I had observed and admired the progress, design and manufacturing quality of Westship Yachts over several years and ultimately worked with the Westship design team to manufacture and complete my personal yacht, the 110´ super yacht “Prestige Lady”.
“While working with the Westship design team and developing 110ft “Prestige Lady” yacht I recognized an investment opportunity to acquire the company and continue to and market exceptionally designed and manufactured yachts. I am pleased to announce that the timing is now right to proceed with our plan to continue the marketing and manufacture of Westship World Yachts.”
The Prestige Lady megayacht features four staterooms which include a full beam on the deck Master with bi-level bathroom. Below deck accommodates three additional staterooms including a second full beam Master/VIP stateroom with his and her bath, a queen and a twin guest stateroom.

Westship 110´ Prestige Lady is run by MTU engines giving her a top speed of 25 knots, with a cruising speed of 18.5 knots. She boasts a fiberglass hull and deck constructions and a beam of 25ft.
