“Yacht design can be a tricky thing, especially if a brand has been successful with a style it calls its own,” Yachting previously wrote. “Since 1964, Westport has been catering to an American clientele whose tastes lean more toward the traditional than most European yacht owners. Think homey, warm and unapologetically conservative at a time when European interior design has trended contemporary, minimalist and avant-garde.”
The Westport 112 has long been the builder’s most popular model, with 65 hulls launched from its Washington state shipyards since 1994.”
Worth Avenue Yachts has Natural 9, a 2008 Westport 112, listed for $6.15 million. The 112-foot motoryacht underwent a refit in 2021 and has gotten a number of upgrades over the years.
“Natural 9 exudes a modern ambiance with its light and airy color palette,” Worth Avenue Yachts says. “It presents an exceptionally crisp, clean, and elegantly appointed vessel.”
Stepping into the salon guests will notice the cherry wood interior joinery and waist-to-ceiling windows flooding the space with natural light. The formal dining area forward features a veneered table base with lacquer and a three-quarter-inch oval tempered-glass top that accommodates eight guests.
Past the forward bulkhead is the main deck country galley which features a U-shaped granite countertop with a peninsula bar that backs up to a U-shaped dinette and inlay cherry cabinets.
The galley has an array of meal-prep amenities, including:
- Stainless Kohler extra deep double sink with Grohe faucets
- SubZero stainless steel refrigerator
- Dacor five-burner touch top cooktop
- KitchenAide 30-inch convection oven
- Sharp microwave/vent hood
- Krusher trash compactor
- Fisher Paykel two-drawer dishwasher
The sense of luxury on board Natural 9 carries throughout, with spaces like a guest foyer adorned with an overhead bronze mirror and cherry trim, marble flooring and a cherry cabinet console with a marble top.
Belowdecks, the four-stateroom layout can sleep up to eight. Amidships, the master stateroom has a California king berth, a Samsung flat-screen TV and an en suite head. The forepeak VIP stateroom has a centerline queen berth with desk.
When it’s time to catch some sun guests can head to the foredeck, where they will have their choice of the bow sun lounge forward or twin chaise-style lounge pads aft.
The after section of the flybridge is for the 15-foot AB tender stowage, which includes the davit. Forward, open space can support loose furniture while an L-shaped settee, fixed table and hot tub sit amidships. Under the hardtop, which has a new three-sided EZ2CY enclosure, a four-stool bar is to port.
Twin 2,000 hp MTU 16V2000 diesels give Natural 9 a 24-knot top hop and a 21-knot cruise speed. Slowing to a 12-knot cruise gives the 112 a 2,600-plus-nautical-mile range.
