2001 Westship Skylounge 132 Yacht: Luxury Motor Yacht with Flybridge Jacuzzi and Full Accommodation for Twelve Guests
Overview
The 2001 Westship Skylounge 132, named CUPCAKE, represents a thoughtfully maintained and extensively upgraded motor yacht designed for extended cruising, family entertaining, and charter operations. Built by Westship—a respected American shipyard known for robust, well-engineered motor yachts—this 132-foot vessel combines proven construction with a comprehensive two-year interior and mechanical overhaul completed in 2022, followed by ongoing systems maintenance and upgrades through 2025. Measuring 28 feet across the beam with a 7.42-foot draft, CUPCAKE operates efficiently at cruising speeds of 14 knots and achieves maximum speeds of 17 knots, making her suitable for both extended coastal passages and island-hopping itineraries throughout North American waters and beyond. The yacht accommodates twelve guests across five staterooms—a full-beam primary suite on the main deck and four additional guest staterooms below—plus dedicated crew quarters for seven crew members. Her contemporary interior palette of crème and turquoise, accented with mother-of-pearl details, creates an inviting atmosphere throughout the vessel. The layout emphasizes entertaining and comfort, with multiple social spaces including a full-beam main salon with formal dining for ten, a dedicated skylounge with gaming tables, an aft deck bar and alfresco dining area, and a flybridge featuring a six-person Jacuzzi and sunbathing accommodations. This configuration makes CUPCAKE equally at home as a family cruising platform, a multi-week charter vessel, or an entertainer's floating venue.
Layout and Deck Design
CUPCAKE's deck arrangement reflects the Westship Skylounge design philosophy: maximizing entertaining spaces while maintaining functional separation between guest areas, crew spaces, and navigation zones. The main deck houses the full-beam primary suite forward, with the main salon, dining area, and bar amidships. A spiral staircase at the forward end of the salon provides elegant vertical circulation and visual continuity between decks. The lower deck accommodates four guest staterooms: one king, two queens, and a fifth stateroom featuring a queen berth, twin berth, and Pullman. Each guest cabin includes ensuite bathroom facilities with shower, abundant storage, and recently upgraded entertainment systems. This arrangement allows flexible guest configurations while ensuring privacy and comfort for extended stays or charter operations. The skylounge, positioned above the main salon, functions as a casual gathering space distinct from formal entertaining areas. Its sit-down bar, ultra-comfortable seating, skylight ceiling, and integrated flat-screen television create an inviting retreat. A blackjack gaming table adds an entertainment element that encourages guest interaction and evening activities. The aft deck provides open-air entertaining with a sit-down bar, alfresco dining accommodating ten guests, and dual stairways descending to the cockpit for easy water-sports access. The flybridge—the yacht's premier outdoor entertainment zone—features a six-person Jacuzzi, full bar service, extensive sun pad seating, and commanding ocean views. This multi-level outdoor arrangement ensures that entertaining groups can disperse naturally across different ambiance zones, from casual poolside relaxation to formal dining to active water activities.
Helm and Navigation Systems
CUPCAKE's pilothouse is equipped with professional-grade communication and navigation systems designed for worldwide operation and all-weather cruising. The vessel operates under U.S. flag with current state survey documentation completed in February 2026, confirming regulatory compliance and seaworthiness.

The pilothouse design includes a raised observation settee integrated into the rear section, allowing guests to observe navigation activities and weather conditions while remaining comfortable and out of the working helm area. This design acknowledges that modern cruising yachts serve both operational and social functions, and the helm should accommodate both professional navigation and guest engagement.
Power and Propulsion
Twin MTU 12V396 diesel engines, each producing 2,250 horsepower, provide CUPCAKE's main propulsion. Both engines received top overhauls in September 2025, with current running hours of 6,114 hours (port) and 6,113 hours (starboard) since the 2025 rebuild. These robust marine diesel engines are known for reliability, longevity, and fuel efficiency across extended cruising ranges—critical attributes for a 132-foot yacht designed for multi-week passages. The yacht's fuel consumption and range capabilities reflect the MTU engines' efficiency at various operating speeds. At 1,200 rpm, CUPCAKE achieves approximately 10.5 knots while consuming roughly 55.2 gallons per hour, yielding a range of 1,482 nautical miles on the 7,200-gallon fuel capacity. This economical cruising speed is ideal for extended coastal passages where fuel efficiency and crew rest become operational priorities. At 1,400 rpm, the yacht reaches 12 knots while burning approximately 81.2 gallons per hour, covering 1,152 nautical miles per tank—a practical speed for day-running and passage-making. At 1,600 rpm, cruising speed reaches 14 knots with fuel consumption around 123 gallons per hour and 886-nautical-mile range. Maximum speed of 17 knots is achieved at 1,800 rpm with approximately 172 gallons per hour consumption and 727-nautical-mile range. The 7,200-gallon fuel capacity combined with these consumption profiles enables CUPCAKE to cruise from Florida to the Bahamas , Caribbean , or Gulf Coast without refueling, and to make extended passages along the U.S. East Coast. The 2,497-gallon fresh water capacity is supplemented by two Filtration Concepts watermakers, each capable of producing 4,000 U.S. gallons per day, ensuring unlimited fresh water for extended cruising, crew operations, and guest comfort regardless of fuel range. An American Bowthruster Unit (150 hp) provides precise lateral maneuvering in tight anchorages and marina approaches, reducing reliance on main engines for docking operations and improving safety in confined spaces.
Stabilization and Comfort Systems
CUPCAKE is equipped with ABT-TRAC zero-speed and at-rest stabilization systems, installed in 2009 and serviced to five-year standards in 2025. Zero-speed stabilizers dramatically reduce rolling motion when the yacht is anchored or moving slowly, a critical comfort feature for extended anchorages and overnight stays in variable sea states. This system allows guests and crew to rest comfortably without the motion-induced fatigue that affects vessels without stabilization. The electrical system operates on 120V/208V three-phase 60 Hz power, with dual 80 kw Northern Lights generators providing redundant power generation. Both generators were rebuilt in September 2025, with current running hours of 2,672 hours since rebuild on the port unit (34,522 total hours) and 2,674 hours since rebuild on the starboard unit
