Boathouse Auctions is pleased to announce that ELYSIAN, a 130′ Westport motor yacht built in 2004, is coming to auction in partnership with HMY Yachts. Listed at $6,495,000, ELYSIAN will be offered through Boathouse Auctions’ live online yacht auction platform, with opening bids expected in the $3,500,000 to $4,000,000 range.
The seller is represented by Michael Strassel of HMY Yachts, combining established brokerage expertise with the urgency, visibility, and defined timeline of a Boathouse Auctions campaign. Located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, during the official viewing period, ELYSIAN will be available for showings and inspections by appointment beginning May 29, 2026.
ELYSIAN is a 130 ft (39.6 m) Westport tri-deck motor yacht with a 26 ft (7.92 m) beam, 6 ft 6 in (1.98 m) draft, and 281 GT of volume. She accommodates 10 guests in five staterooms, with crew accommodations for eight, and is reported to cruise at 14 knots with a maximum speed of approximately 21.5 knots.
For qualified buyers seeking an exceptional American-built tri-deck motor yacht, ELYSIAN represents a notable opportunity in the 130′ Westport market. The auction format provides interested parties with a clear path to review information, register to bid, complete prequalification, and participate in Boathouse Auctions’ live online bidding process.
Westport is one of the most recognized American yacht builders, known for producing practical, comfortable motor yachts with strong owner appeal. A 130′ Westport coming to auction is especially relevant for buyers who understand the builder’s reputation and want a transparent opportunity to participate within a scheduled bidding window.
By positioning ELYSIAN around the Westport name, Boathouse Auctions can reach buyers already searching for Westport yachts, 130′ motor yachts, and premium yacht auction opportunities.
The ELYSIAN auction is being conducted by Boathouse Auctions in partnership with HMY Yachts. Michael Strassel of HMY Yachts serves as the listing broker and seller representative, while Boathouse Auctions provides the auction platform, bidder registration process, auction marketing, and live online bidding environment.
This collaborative model preserves the value of traditional brokerage representation while adding the momentum of a scheduled auction. Rather than relying solely on an open-ended listing timeline, the auction process creates urgency, encourages buyer engagement, and gives interested parties a clear deadline to act.
ELYSIAN is listed at $6,495,000 and is being offered at auction with opening bids expected in the $3,500,000 to $4,000,000 range. The auction is a no-reserve live online yacht auction, with bidding scheduled for June 25, 2026, from 9 AM to 4 PM ET.
Advance bidder registration is required. Buyers should pre-register through the ELYSIAN auction page by clicking “Register to Bid.” Boathouse Auctions will then guide interested bidders through identity verification, financial prequalification, and placement of the required $100,000 USD escrow deposit, all of which must be completed prior to auction day.
An 8% Buyer’s Premium is paid by the successful bidder and calculated based on the highest final bid price. This fee covers Boathouse Auctions’ management, marketing, and advertising of the auction.
A standard set of auction documents is available for ELYSIAN. Qualified buyers should review the auction page for full details, instructions, available documents, and survey materials before registering to bid.
Buyer due diligence is conducted in person. Showings and inspections of ELYSIAN are available by appointment in Fort Lauderdale, Florida beginning May 29, 2026. To schedule, buyers may contact their preferred yacht broker or Jack Mahoney at Boathouse Auctions.
Buyer-side broker representation is actively welcomed. The Seller offers a 5% brokerage commission to the pre-registered, bona fide broker documented as representing the successful bidder, payable upon closing.
For qualified buyers, Boathouse Auctions creates a clear and time-sensitive path to ownership. With bidder qualification, access to available documents, scheduled inspections, and real-time online bidding, participants can evaluate ELYSIAN with confidence and bid within a transparent, defined auction window. For buyers seeking a 130′ Westport with proven pedigree, substantial volume, and a compelling opening bid range, this is an opportunity designed for action, not an open-ended negotiation. For sellers, the platform creates urgency, visibility, and measurable market response within a defined timeframe.
The ELYSIAN auction demonstrates how the platform can be used for a premium Westport yacht in partnership with an established brokerage firm. By combining HMY Yachts’ listing representation with Boathouse Auctions’ auction process, the campaign is designed to reach qualified buyers and move interested parties toward action before the auction deadline.
Live online bidding for this exceptional tri-deck motor yacht will take place on June 25, 2026, from 9 AM to 4 PM ET. Full auction details, bidder registration instructions, and available documents, including marine and mechanical surveys, can be found here.
