40m Westport BLUE TIME Joins IYC Sales Fleet at $15.9 Million

Aug. 27, 2026 Sale IYC

IYC has added the 39.6m Westport motor yacht BLUE TIME to its global sales fleet, with the extensively upgraded 2009 yacht asking $15.9 million.

IYC has added the 39.6-metre Westport motor yacht BLUE TIME to its global sales fleet, with the 2009-built yacht offered at an asking price of $15.9 million. The brokerage announced the appointment on 24 August 2026, presenting BLUE TIME as a recently upgraded example of the long-running Westport 130 series and as available for immediate acquisition.

BLUE TIME underwent an extensive programme of work between 2021 and 2024, with IYC identifying significant upgrades to navigation, AV/IT and mechanical systems. The brokerage describes the yacht as being presented in turn-key condition, positioning her for immediate private use or continued charter operation rather than a lengthy post-purchase technical programme.

A proven Westport 130 platform

Built by Westport in the United States, BLUE TIME measures 39.6 metres overall with a 7.9-metre beam and 333GT of internal volume. Gregory Marshall is credited with the design, while the semi-displacement GRP platform reflects the Westport 130 series' established emphasis on practical deck planning, useful interior volume and relatively fast cruising performance.

IYC lists a maximum speed of 24 knots and a cruising speed of 20 knots, giving BLUE TIME significantly higher passage speeds than many full-displacement yachts of similar length. A stated range of approximately 3,000 nautical miles adds useful cruising endurance, allowing the yacht to combine regional cruising with efficient longer transits between operating areas.

Five cabins for 11 guests

BLUE TIME accommodates up to 11 guests in five cabins, with the full-beam owner's suite positioned forward on the main deck. Four further guest cabins are located on the lower deck, including three king suites and a twin cabin with a Pullman berth, giving the yacht flexibility for family groups, private guests or charter use.

The five-cabin arrangement is paired with accommodation for four crew and makes practical use of the yacht's 333GT volume. IYC identifies the layout as one of BLUE TIME's competitive advantages because it combines a relatively compact overall length with guest capacity and cabin flexibility more commonly associated with larger yachts.

Recent work focused on technical systems

The refit and upgrade programme completed between 2021 and 2024 went beyond cosmetic presentation. IYC specifically highlights improvements to navigation equipment, entertainment and communications systems, and mechanical infrastructure, indicating that recent investment was directed toward the systems that most directly affect reliability and day-to-day operation.

For a high-speed motor yacht delivered in 2009, that technical work is particularly relevant to the current sales proposition. Buyers evaluating an older yacht must consider machinery, electronics and onboard systems alongside styling and accommodation, and IYC is positioning BLUE TIME as a yacht where substantial recent expenditure has already addressed many of those areas.

$15.9 million asking price

BLUE TIME is powered by twin MTU 12V4000 M90 engines and combines her 24-knot maximum speed with outdoor spaces designed around Mediterranean and warm-weather cruising. The sundeck includes a Jacuzzi and bar, while lower exterior decks provide protected alfresco dining and a separate foredeck seating area connected by wide walkaround decks.

IYC's current listing places BLUE TIME at $15.9 million and emphasises her recent refit work, successful charter history and established Westport pedigree. The new central sales appointment therefore brings a mature but actively upgraded 40-metre yacht to market as an alternative for buyers seeking immediate availability rather than committing to a new-build programme.
