Charming local shops and restaurants are sprinkled throughout downtown, which offers a little something for everyone. People come to Westport from around the globe to experience world-class fishing and the freshest seafood. The Westport charter fleet's seasoned crews guide people to fantastic fishing experiences that include Salmon, Halibut, Rock & Ling Cod, Crab, and Albacore Tuna.
