K-West Custom Tender, K-WEST

Broker’s Comments

The K-West custom tender was designed and built in Palma de Mallorca by i3 Advanced Marine Composites, a business that is known for their expertise in the highest quality custom luxury yacht and super yacht equipment.

Based on the Key West 28’ design, K-West was upgraded with an extended platform and carbon, Kevlar and resin infused sandwich hull laminate. She was designed by Leo Kilmartin, founder of the business with over 20 years’ experience in the design and repair of luxury and high performance carbon yachts, including yachts from the Americas cup and Volvo Ocean Race.

She offers a spacious and social walk around deck with central console and helm / co-pilot bench with bolster, and plenty of space to relax onboard and sit comfortably when underway, with a large L-shaped sofa in the aft cockpit, a forward console seat and twin benches forward. There is a vast lazarette on the bow, with cushions, lighting, and a carbon sink and sea toilet.

K-West is packed with high-end upgrades from i3 Composites including a custom carbon T-top, a carbon table with dedicated bracket and a custom carbon swim ladder. The helm is finished with carbon, and boasts twin Garmin glass screen plotters, VHF Radio and auxiliary controls. Her sound system has been fully upgraded with the Fusion Apollo head unit and Fusion speakers fitted within the cockpit and on the T-top itself.

She is fitted with underwater lights, colour changing courtesy lights within the speakers and courtesy lights fitted into the T-top. The decks are finished with a custom SEA DECK non-slip surface, with access panels to the boat systems and generous top stowing storage lockers.

K-West is powered with the powerful Mercury V8-F250 XL Outboard engine, which offers top speed performances of up to 40kts.

Further upgrades and equipment include a full overall winter cover, custom cradle, vinyl wrap on the hull with pearlescent finish, shore power and battery charger. She is also fitted with an electric windlass with stainless anchor and chain.

This boat would be a great option as a high end, fun day boat for the Mediterranean, or alternatively would serve well as a unique and versatile super yacht tender.

K-West is Spanish registered and has a charter license.

Owner’s Comments

K-West was built especially for the 2021 Palma Boat Show in order to showcase what our company was capable of, as we are aiming to start building custom super yacht tenders.

Most boats in the same category are mass produced from much cheaper materials and equipment, and to this day there is no other vessel of this size on the market that have been built to such a high specification.

She has also been designed with servicing in mind, with everything accessible and easily serviceable, which is a rare and invaluable feature in a boat.
