The third in a series of superyachts anchored in Westport, DREAM - 57m/196ft long - was spotted between Cockenoe Reef and Compo Beach yesterday afternoon. The vessel was built in 2001 by Abeking & Rasmussen out of Germany, and is registered to the Marshall Islands.

Originally called Excellence III prior to a 2017 refitting, the vessel and its 15 person crew can be chartered for $420,000 per week, and is typically visiting ports-of-call such as Antigua, the US Virgin Islands, and Saint Martin. Amenities for its 12 possible guests include two tender vessels, a water slide, and waverunners. Only in Westport for two days, the vessel left the community’s waters last night for East Hampton, New York.

Earlier this summer - the Rosehearty, a 183’ sailing yacht - and the 123 foot long motor yacht Temptation both called Westport home for several evenings as the uber luxury guests make Westport a yachting destination for Summer 2021.
