Custom Teak Swim Platform for 130′ Westport Vision | Fort Lauderdale
Custom Fabrication Designed for the Vessel
A custom swim platform should enhance the yacht’s functionality without altering its original character. For the 130′ Westport Vision, our objective was to create a teak swim platform and integrated boarding stairs that improved accessibility while preserving the vessel’s clean lines, proportions, and architectural balance.
Instead of adapting prefabricated components, we designed and fabricated every element specifically for this yacht. From the initial measurements to the final installation, every decision focused on achieving a seamless integration with the existing structure.
Custom Teak Swim Platform Fabrication
Every yacht presents unique dimensions, structural details, and installation challenges. Therefore, successful fabrication begins long before the first piece of teak is machined.
Our team carefully evaluated the stern configuration, existing hardware, boarding clearances, and drainage requirements before developing the fabrication drawings. This planning process ensured that every component fit precisely while maintaining the yacht’s original design language.
Because no two installations are identical, every measurement and fabrication detail was developed exclusively for this project.
Premium Marine-Grade Teak
Material selection directly influences the longevity and appearance of any exterior yacht installation.
For this project, we selected premium marine-grade teak because of its dimensional stability, natural durability, and proven performance in demanding marine environments. We also carefully aligned every plank to maintain consistent grain direction, uniform spacing, and clean visual transitions throughout the platform.
Rather than emphasizing decorative details alone, the fabrication focused on creating a balanced installation that performs reliably while complementing the yacht’s exterior.

Integrated Boarding Stair System
The boarding stairs were designed as part of the complete platform assembly instead of functioning as an independent accessory.
Their proportions, attachment points, and alignment were coordinated with the existing stern to provide secure boarding while maintaining visual continuity throughout the installation. Furthermore, each transition between the platform, stairs, and surrounding surfaces was refined to create a cohesive appearance that feels original to the vessel.
The result is an installation that combines functionality with understated elegance.
Built for Long-Term Marine Performance
Luxury yachts operate in one of the most demanding environments for exterior woodwork. Continuous exposure to sunlight, saltwater, humidity, and daily use requires fabrication methods that prioritize durability as much as appearance.
Consequently, every stage of this project—from material selection and fabrication to installation and finishing—was completed with long-term performance in mind.
Our approach emphasizes precision, structural integrity, and clean execution, allowing every custom teak installation to complement the yacht for years to come.
