Atlantic Westwind 445 ready for boating fun
Meet the Atlantic 445 Westwind: a compact GRP motorboat with a sporty V-hull and surprisingly mature handling. She is built for relaxed days on the water, but feels just as at home when you want to cruise a little faster. This Westwind has seen many boating days on inland waterways, canals and ditches, lakes and rivers. That makes her an accessible choice for anyone looking for a practical, sloop-like motorboat—yet with a spirited edge.
With her length of 4.45 metres and beam of 1.20 metres, the Atlantic 445 is easy to handle and simple to moor. The draft of around 30 centimetres also helps you explore shallower waters.Â

What makes this Atlantic 445 Westwind special?
She is known as one of the smallest self-draining boats. This is a feature many watersports enthusiasts specifically look for, because it adds comfort in changeable weather and is practical in everyday use. According to the owner, the boat does not need to be covered, making her extra attractive for those who want to head out spontaneously without a lot of preparation. The cockpit is self-draining, contributing to peace of mind when leaving her in the harbour or alongside a jetty.
How does she handle and do I need a licence?
The Atlantic Westwind 445 is described as lively and fast, with a top speed just under 20 kilometres per hour. This places her in a category that appeals to many boaters: quick enough for sporty day trips, yet generally not requiring a boating licence based on speed. At the same time, she can also cruise quietly, helped by the quiet Honda outboard. This makes her suitable for a relaxed tour through the canals, as well as a longer trip across lakes and rivers.
What engine is fitted and what can I expect?
On the transom is a Honda 8 hp outboard engine, year of manufacture 2007, with electric start. She has two cylinders and runs on petrol. The engine is operational, and combined with the light, compact boat it delivers a lively boating experience. For those searching terms such as “motorboat with Honda outboardâ€, “8 hp outboard electric start†or “compact GRP boatâ€, this is a combination that often sits high on the wish list: simple, clear and ready to go as soon as you step aboard.
What is known about maintenance and hull condition?
The boat was last taken out of the water for maintenance in 2026. It is stated that she has no osmosis or signs of osmosis, which is an important point for many buyers of a GRP boat. The hull has a V-bottom, which generally helps with directional stability and a sportier character. Anyone specifically looking for a “GRP motorboat V-hull†or a “small sporty motorboat†will find the Atlantic 445 a logical and appealing match.
Which equipment and accessories are included?
Practical items are included in the sale to help you get on the water straight away. Think cushions for extra comfort, a battery (12V, 55Ah), a fuel tank and an anchor with line. Two fenders and lines are also mentioned as exterior equipment. A swim ladder is present, making swimming and getting back on board much more pleasant on warm days. A trailer is not included, so please take that into account if you plan to transport her.
This Atlantic 445 Westwind is an inviting choice for anyone looking to buy a compact motorboat via Boatauction: manageable, lively, and set up for easy, low-threshold boating enjoyment. She suits the watersports enthusiast who likes to get out on the water often, without hassle, and who wants a boat that can feel both relaxed and sporty depending on your cruising style.
