K-WEST – A Carbon-Fibre 8.5m Stunner Built to Last

The K-WEST was designed and made especially for the Palma Boat Show of 2021 where she achieved much admiration from an impressed audience. Designed by Leo Kilmartin, the founder of i3 Advanced Marine Composites, with 20+ years of experience in designing and building high-end carbon yachts, the K-West is made to last.

The K-WEST’s sleek and slender frame is built completely from carbon, making her lightweight and with less fuel consumption than vessels of similar size. Storage space is ample, as is the sundeck, and the anchor is electrically powered. The captain has full control at the helm, consisting of twin Garmin glass screen plotters, VHF Radio and auxiliary controls.

She has a powerful Mercury V8-F250 XL Outboard engine to zip you along at a brisk 40 knots (74,08 km) an hour. The decks are finished with a custom state-of-the-art SEA DECK non-slip surface. The aft cockpit comprises a large L-shaped sofa and ample seating opportunities with seats covered in quality quilted upholstery.

K-WEST has a custom carbon T-top with extended sunroof, under which there is a handy and very large lazarette, where you will find lighting, cushions, a sea toilet and a carbon basin.

There is a custom-made carbon ladder for swimmers, a fully upgraded Fusion Apollo sound system, and K-WEST also comes with a full winter storage cover and steel cradles with wheels.

K-West is a seagoing vessel in her own right is delivered complete with a chartering licence. If all that isn’t enough, you can always use her as a tender for your superyacht.
