Specification

A true Westport pedigree semi-displacement motor yacht, this 39.62m (130'0") vessel was built in 2011 and completed a comprehensive, multi‑million‑dollar refit in 2024. Identified by Hull No. WPS04004I011 and carrying IMO 9539901 and MMSI 319133700, she presents in ABS (+ A1 Commercial Yachting Service AMS) class, with RINA and MCA compliance underscoring her commercial readiness and global cruising capability. The naval architecture is by William Garden, with exterior lines by Gregory C. Marshall Naval Architect, while Westport Yachts and Destry Darr Designs have crafted a fresh, contemporary interior during the latest refit. Her GRP hull and superstructure are complemented by teak decks, and she cruises under the Cayman Islands flag with a gross tonnage of 333 and an approximate fully loaded displacement of 179 tons. A professional crew of up to 7 ensures seamless operations and impeccable service.

Perfectly proportioned for confident passage-making and agile coastal work alike, her principal dimensions include a waterline length of 35.10m (115'2"), a beam of 7.98m (26'2"), and a notably shallow maximum draft of 1.90m (6'3"), broadening her access to secluded anchorages and near‑shore playgrounds.

Performance and propulsion are delivered by twin MTU 400012VM90 diesel engines, each rated at 2,040 kW (2,736 Hp). As of 16 December 2024, the port engine shows 5,500 hours and the starboard engine shows 5,500 hours. Electrical power comes from two Northern Lights diesel generators rated at 98 kW (131 Hp) each at 1,800 rpm. Naiad 525 stabilizers with 22 sq. ft. fins—including at‑anchor capability—ensure exceptional comfort under way and at rest. For precise close‑quarters handling, she is equipped with a hydraulic 55 Hp sternthruster featuring a 16" dual prop, and a hydraulic, in‑hull 65 Hp bowthruster with a 16" dual prop.

Her speed and range profile is optimized for versatility: a maximum of 22.00 knots for swift passages, an economical cruising speed of 12.00 knots, and a transoceanic‑worthy range of 2,200 nm at 12.00 knots.

Thoughtfully engineered capacities support extended autonomy: fuel stores of 37,722 litres (9,965 US gallons), fresh water of 6,534 litres (1,726 US gallons), and a holding tank capacity of 6,435 litres (1,700 US gallons).

Accommodation is arranged for 10+2 guests across five serene staterooms, including a full‑beam master cabin, two double cabins, and two twin cabins—each appointed with a TV and gracefully refreshed finishes by Destry Darr Designs. Crew are comfortably housed in four cabins for a complement of seven, comprising one engineer’s cabin and three additional crew cabins. Life on board invites relaxation and conviviality in equal measure: expansive salons, luxurious lounge areas, and the pleasure of a jacuzzi on the sun deck create irresistible vantage points for sea and sky, while exercise equipment transforms the Portuguese deck into a private open‑air gym. Each of her three decks features its own bar and dining area, allowing guests to savor meals and drinks in the setting that suits each moment best. Entertainment and connectivity are thoroughly modern, with Bluetooth speakers, an outdoor sound system and outdoor TV, TVs in all cabins and in the salon, a movie library and a music library, all supported by Starlink and onboard Wi‑Fi to keep you as connected as you wish to be.

For charter use—note these items are available with charter and are not included in a sale—she tows a top‑tier 2022 Freeman tender measuring 11.28 meters (37 foot) and powered by four Mercury 400hp outboards in a tournament‑ready fishing configuration. Her watersports arsenal is equally compelling: two Yamaha jet skis, two Seadoos, two Seabobs F5 Sport, two paddle boards, an inflatable slide, a waterslide, snorkel gear and separate snorkelling gear, two complete sets of scuba gear with a dive compressor, a jet ski dock, and comprehensive fishing equipment including 16 rods and reels. A beach setup, gym equipment, and a stationary bike round out the active lifestyle offering.

The 2023/2024 refit and maintenance program was exhaustive and exacting: a multi‑million‑dollar refit encompassed rebuilt generators, thoroughly serviced main engines, new Mangus shore power converters, a rebuilt air compressor, and a dive compressor that was rebuilt and certified. Stabilizer hoses and fin systems were replaced, the blackwater system was renovated, and the anchor windlasses were rebuilt and serviced. A standing 250 gallon water heater tank was installed, along with a 240V UPS battery backup system, while navigation equipment saw targeted repairs and upgrades. TDS teak decks and accents were installed, the interior was refitted by Destry Darr Designs, a new modern headliner was added, fresh paint was applied throughout, and the davit was serviced with its hydraulic pump rebuilt and lines replaced.

In spirit and specification, RULE NO. 1 is the quintessential Baja adventure yacht: a 40 meter (130 foot) ABS class Westport, freshly refit in 2023–2024 to carry luxury into the most secluded reaches of the peninsula. Designed to deliver indulgence with a sense of discovery, she offers five elegantly appointed guest cabins for up to 12 guests on quick escapes or longer explorations. Naiad stabilizers assure effortless comfort, Westport engineering confers renowned reliability, and her experienced crew brings deep local knowledge to every itinerary. On deck, expansive aft and sun deck guest areas crown the experience with a jacuzzi, while on the water her 2022 37' Freeman towed tender (during charter) and full suite of fishing, spearfishing, freediving, and scuba gear elevate every adventure. A professional chef prepares world‑class cuisine that celebrates fresh catches and local flavors, and exercise equipment ensures well‑being at sea remains part of the pleasure. Every facet—bars and dining on each of three decks, luxurious lounges and salons, and a specification honed by a major 2024 refit—converges to deliver a yacht as capable as she is captivating.
