Highlights
What sets this hull apart on today's market.
Greg Gaus has closed superyacht sales up to 164 feet, including the Westport 164 "Boardwalk" and the Westport 125 "Lion's Den", after 20+ years as a professional captain running vessels of this class. That is the lens every Double G buyer gets on this listing: what the hull is really worth, what the survey should focus on, and how she compares with every sistership currently for sale.
