News: Westport W135; W117 At 2026 FLIBS

2026 FLIBS With Westport Yachts
​

The 2026 edition of the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS) is ready to open its doors in a few days and one of America's notable brands, Westport, will be attending the show. Some of their newer-generation models will be on display including the 41-meter W135 and the 35-meter W117. Both are raised pilothouse (RPH) models being big on quality finishes, styling and American notoriety.

If you are attending this year's FLIBS then you can find Westport Yachts at their dedicated face dock on the Hall of Fame Marina (Facedock 18C). For the W135, the display boat will be hull 4101 which is the first hull that was launched in early 2026. If you cast your minds back, hull 4101 left the yard in Washington State and sailed on her own bottom all the way to the Palm Beach International Boat Show (PBIBS) in Palm Beach. It is actually the debut for the W135 at the FLIBS this year. We still believe she is available for purchase, presenting a unique opportunity for an owner to come onboard a new boat and conclude relatively quick acquisition. She is ready to cruise with new owners.

The W117 is another model that is due to be at this year's show. A bit smaller than the W135, it allows what is still a spacious platform in a slightly compact form-factor but still benefitting from the Westport quality assurance. Westport is also known for their crisp, contemporary styling blended with traditional superyacht appeal. 10 guests can be slept onboard in a 5 cabin configuration including the on-deck master suite and still offering around 299 GT internally and a range of 2,500 nautical miles at 12-knots with a top speed of 24-knots from twin C32B diesels.
