Three decades, three generations

The first 112 hit the water in 1993, and the platform never left the catalog until 2023. Across roughly eleven hulls of the first generation, a long second generation through the 2000s and 2010s, and a refreshed final generation from 2017, the yard kept the same proven 34-meter hull while continuously modernizing styling, systems and interiors. Yachting magazine noted 50 hulls built at a pace of three deliveries a year, and trade databases now count the series past sixty.

That longevity was the Westport model working exactly as designed: amortized tooling, standardized systems and a known price and date, repeated until the design had nothing left to prove. Production ended only when the new W117 took over the small-Westport slot, which means every W112 on the brokerage market has a direct successor validating its concept at the same yard.

Four staterooms on a 7.2-meter beam

Eight guests sleep in four ensuite staterooms on the lower deck. The full-width master sits amidships with a centerline king and separate his and her bath entries, the VIP takes the full beam forward with a centerline queen, and two further cabins offer a queen to port and twin singles to starboard. The wide beam carries into a dramatically open saloon with formal dining for eight.

Crew quarters for five include a captain's cabin to port with a double berth and private head, plus forward and aft crew cabins to starboard with upper and lower berths and a shared head. The raised pilothouse layout adds a skylounge level and keeps navigation off the guest decks, while the country-style galley with skylight became one of the most copied spaces in American yachting.

Three decades in production and more than sixty hulls delivered make the W112 one of the most successful superyacht series ever built.

Twenty-six knots at half load

The final generation runs twin MTU 16V2000 M86 diesels of 2,185 horsepower each, with some hulls specified with 1,900 hp Caterpillar C32s, for a 22-knot cruise and a top speed of 24 knots at full load, rising to 26 knots at half load. Range is 2,000 nautical miles at 12 knots from 20,744 liters of fuel, and the 1.8-meter draft is genuinely useful in the Bahamas and the Keys.

At 222 gross tons ITC the W112 is an easy yacht to own from a regulatory standpoint, ABS classed and MCA compliant, with modest manning requirements and insurance profiles that reflect three decades of fleet history. Naiad fin stabilizers handle the ride underway, twin 65 kW Northern Lights generators carry the hotel load with full redundancy, and two watermakers produce 3,000 gallons a day between them.

Specified once, refined for thirty years

Late-series boats carry a technology stack that belies the design's age: Crestron NVX AV over IP with a Kaleidescape movie server, twin Furuno radars with professional Nobeltec charting on an ECDIS-approved PC, KVH satellite communications and television, and motorized blinds through the guest areas. The frameless bonded glazing and Alexseal Snow White finish match the rest of the fleet.

The deck package is complete and practical: a 2,500-pound Nautical Structures crane for the 15-foot tender with its 70 hp Yamaha, a hydraulic passerelle for Mediterranean-style mooring, twin 16-man life rafts and FM-200 fire suppression in the engine room. Westport's cabinet shop built the joinery on every hull, with the final generation showcasing oak, backlit onyx and shagreen leather detailing.

The classic first Westport

No yacht offers a deeper pool of sisterships in the low-30-meter class, and the effects compound. Surveys are routine because surveyors have seen dozens, refit yards stock the knowledge and the parts, and the factory brokerage in Fort Lauderdale has traded the model continuously since the 1990s. Pricing bands are visible across every delivery year, so buyers and sellers meet quickly.

For an owner stepping into yachting at this size, the W112 delivers the full experience, a raised pilothouse, real crew service and ocean-capable range, on a five-crew wage bill and running costs sized to 222 gross tons. Many owners have used it exactly that way, as the first Westport before a W130 or bigger, which is why the yard's repeat-buyer statistics start here.

Pour qui: A first-time superyacht owner who wants proven engineering, modest running costs and the deepest sistership market in the class, with a clear trade-up path inside the same brand.
