58' Sonship Built by West Bay

Oct 23, 2019

The 58' Sonship built by West Bay  in British Columbia is their most popular model, it offers a blend of classic styling with a modern pilot house, luxurious accommodations, and world class construction. Built on a modified–V hull for speed, it features Airex coring for strength, prop pockets for a shallow draft, and under water exhaust for quiet and reduced fumes.

Exteriors include a good-sized cockpit with lazarette storage, walk-around side decks, and a spacious flybridge with 2 L-lounges with 2 cocktail tables.

The yacht's exceptionally roomy open-plan interior afforded by its 17' beam offers three staterooms that sleep 6 and two heads. An amidships full-beam master stateroom with walk-around queen berth, a luxurious salon furnished with large U-shaped sofa and hidden entertainment center, an extended pilothouse with full-service galley and dinette, and a standup engine room with cockpit access are its highlights. The 58 West Bay Sonship is a three stateroom, raised pilothouse motor yacht with cockpit, walk-around side decks and flybridge, and offers one of the finest interior arrangements of any similar type yacht. The interior woodwork is crafted in satin varnished American Cherry with high gloss corner posts. Teak & Holly flooring graces the galley/pilothouse area and heads while the remaining floors are covered in carpet with a sound deadening underlayment. All fabrics, wall coverings, carpets, bedspreads, and pillow shams as well as other linens and decor items have been upgraded from standard to superior quality. Closets and hanging lockers are lined with aromatic cedar. Windows on the main deck are of gray tinted, heat-treated laminated glass. All living spaces offer opening ports, overhead hatches, or sliding windows for natural ventilation. Four, zone-direct expansion air conditioning and heating systems provide supreme indoor comfort.

The white hull is vacuum bonded, hand laid up fiberglass Knytex and BTI with a 1" core cell, urethane foam core fiberglass stringers, and ISO Aristech resin osmosis protection below the waterline. The deck is cored, as are all bulkheads. Barium filled foam composite laminate in the engine room bulkheads and overhead provide sound insulation. Bilges and machinery spaces are finished with epoxy paint for ease of maintenance. The boot stripe is 2" black Imron and bottom is finished with Interlux 2000/2001 epoxy barrier and Micron CSC extra anti fouling paint.

The hull is protected with a rub rail capped with a stainless-steel striker. All handrails and rail fittings are 1-1/4'" 316 stainless. There are twelve cleats: 4 bow, 2 stern, 4 springline and 2 flush popups on the swim platform. An anchor platform with bow roller is fitted on the foredeck. Propeller shafts and hydrodynamic rudders are stainless steel.

West Bay Sonship

Hi All- Looking for any and all information on the West Bay Sonship 59. Before I / we spend a bunch, I want to know that we are heading in the right direction. Looking to do fishing, boating, entertaining. Will also use boat to live aboard 2-3 months each summer. Thank You for all of your valuable input, comments and suggestions. Old Salt - EW  

Doesn't look like they built a 59', more than likely a 58'. Here's a story on the company and the owner: http://www.saltytales.com/Images/MarineWriting/BenVermeulen.pdf Here's a 3 page thread on West Bay: http://www.yachtforums.com/forums/westbay-sonship-yacht/4102-westbay-sonship-yachts-trouble.html Is this the one you're looking at? http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1992/West-Bay-Sonship-Pilothouse-Cockpit-Motoryacht-1757705/Antioch,-SF-Delta/CA/United-States  

Thanks Bill for all of your great input. Yes, this is the one I've been looking at. But much larger and newer. Yes there has been some negative postings and like many business they have located their manufacturing facilities to China. Many of what were American manufactured boats of yester-year are now in fact manufactured in China. I'm open to look at different possibilities as far as a boat is concerned. My mind is not yet made up or set in stone. So if you have any opinions or suggestions please don't hesitate to pass them on to me. Again thanks for all of your help. Old Salt - EW  

Take a good hard look at a Mikelson: http://www.mikelsonyachts.com/index.htm  

Thanks Bill - - Just started to look things over - - - will get get back to you. Old Salt - EW

This may be the wrong place for this question, but I figure there are alot of experienced boat owners, captains and people connected to the industry on this forum. I have a slip neighbor who has seen and really likes a Westbay 58. I went and looked at it with him and came away quite impressed with the quality of the workmanship. It was a 2000 and had the 3408 Cat engine package. For a pilothouse boat I thought it was every bit as good quality wise as an Offshore 58. Anyway, has anyone spent any dockside and/or sea time aboard one of these boats. I told him I would run this thread here and see if he can get any additional info. Thanks, I know they're not Hatts and he would prefer a newer pilothouse boat.

Re: Westbay Sonship

These are built about 10 miles from where I live, I know the shop foreman who supervised all the painting work on all their yachts, they are known for high quality construction and your friend should feel confident in the Yachts overall quality of construction. I have seen a few cruise from Vancouver Bc to Mexico and return with no running problems other than weather stuff. Good luck. DM

Spent some time on one of these which was a dock mate in Marathon this winter (owned by Jack Dozier who publishes the Waterway Guides). Very nice boat, Hatt quality. His unfortunately had overly pumped up 6v92's which were causing him some heart ache. Beyond that, I really liked that boat. I am a big fan of the Offshores too, and this boat had better ergonomics, especially in the ER. The company has had some big financial problems in the last year or so due to the exchange rate and a less than competent son taking over the business. George

Thnaks you guys... great feedback. I will see him tomorrow and pass on the info. I agree on the engine room. It was standing headroom and a much better accessthan the Offshore 58. I went aboard an Offshore at the Newport boat show here in April and the entrance to the engine room was through a hatch in the aft deck and it was "stoop" room for me. He is aware of the financial problems with Westbay. He had heard the same reasons. The loss of the US dollar against the Canadian dollar and very poor management by the two sons of the original owner. Once again, thanks and I too thought it was a very good quality boat.

West Bay Yachts For Sale

West Bay SonShip luxury motor yachts are built in the shipyard owned and operated by the Vermeulen family since Ben and Leidy Vermeulen founded the West Bay Shipyards and SonShip Yachts in 1967 in Delta, British Columbia, Canada.

Learn More About West Bay And Find Your Next Boat

The West Bay full-service 6.5-acre facility is strategically located on the Frazier River the empties into the Strait of Georgia and the Salish Sea that wrap the east coast of Vancouver Island and lead out to the North Pacific Ocean. Today, Ben Vermeulen is semi-retired, and the West Bay Shipyard is operated by Wes Vermeulen, President and VP of Marketing; Bas Vermeulen, VP of Production; son-in-law Danny Kilberg, VP of Customer Service. Wes’ wife Lynda Vermeulen heads Interior Design and Decorating. West Bay is a true family-run shipyard, something not often found in today's boating industry.

In addition to producing the luxury SonShip motor yachts West Bay is known for, West Bay Shipyards provides yacht repairs, yacht servicing and refitting, and any services needed to make a vessel ready for ocean passage. Ben Vermeulen initially built hundreds of work boats ranging from rugged, high-speed police patrol boats to commercial fishing boats and rapidly gained a reputation for fine craftsmanship and business ethics of hardwork and honesty. After attaining success with its strong and durable, high-quality commercial vessels, West Bay began expanding into the luxury recreational cruising market, utilizing the latest construction techniques and cutting-edge materials to build the first model, the West Bay 4500 Pilothouse in 1985, followed by 65ft and 72ft motor yachts.

West Bay launched the first West Bay 58 in 1991. Designed by Ben Vermeulen, naval architect Howard Appolonio, and yacht stylist Glade Johnson, the 58 quickly became West Bay’s most popular motor yacht. It featured sleek, attractive exterior lines with the rock-solid build, seaworthiness, and all the features expected of a great Northwest cruising boat—walk-around decks protected by hefty rails, cockpit/aft deck large enough for sportfishing or outdoor dining, spacious flybridge with panoramic 360-degree view, and spacious raised pilothouse with large windows. Constructed with state-of-the-art materials for weight-reduction and hull-strengthening, hull pockets to protect the props, and quiet underwater exhaust. The interior featured expertly crafted joinery of fine hardwoods, spacious saloon, raised galley, two large staterooms, plus a smaller stateroom, and two heads. From 1991 to 2002 timeframe, West Bay produced more than 60 of the 58 model, continually updating them with amenities and more.

As one of Canada’s largest boat builders, West Bay Marine has a 110ft tri-deck SonShip under construction designed by Greg Marshall, the award-winning Canadian naval architect based in British Columbia. The 2020 SonShip 110 features elegant softer lines with graceful curves; window corners are rounded with softer angles, a departure from West Bay’s characteristic straighter lines and angular windows. All West Bay yachts feature a sleek profile; never boxy or ungainly. The main deck of the SonShip 110 extends forward, nearly to the bow to accommodate an on-deck full beam master stateroom. The SonShip 110 features a spacious enclosed Sky Lounge with Sky Lounge deck area and a Sun Bridge with a 6-person hot tub.

Crew accommodations include a large crew galley. Luxury accommodations are for 10 with 4 ensuite guest staterooms. A truly beautiful motor yacht designed by Gregory C. Marshall, Naval Architect, Ltd. recipient of the 2021 Design Award for the Exterior Design of Nobiskrug’s 262ft superyacht, Artefact. West Bay’s core values are quality without compromise, commitment, and service. And these values are evident in each West Bay built, resulting in higher resale prices in the brokerage market. A favorite of the Pacific Northwest and West Coast, the West Bay 58 has already attained iconic status. A selection of West Bay SonShip yachts is currently listed in the vessel brokerage MLS, ranging from about $449,000 for a 1997 West Bay SonShip 58 to about $2,995,000 for a 2002 West Bay SonShip 88, with a median price of about $1,722,000. Model years range from 1996 to 2005. Resale values testify to the high-quality, seaworthiness, comfort, and performance of the West Bay Sonship motor yachts.

Site News: July 17, 2024

The vessel database has been updated and is now holding 93,356 vessel histories (with 15,833 images and 13,791 records of ship wrecks and marine disasters). The mariner and naval biography database has also been updated and now contains 58,618 entries (with 4,019 images).

In 2023 the Nauticapedia celebrated the 50th Anniversary of it’s original inception in 1973 (initially it was on 3" x 5" file cards). It has developed, expanded, digitized and enlarged in those ensuing years to what it is now online. If it was printed out it would fill more than 300,000 pages!

My special thanks to our volunteer IT adviser, John Eyre, who (since 2021) has modernized, simplified and improved the update process for the databases into semi–automated processes. His participation has been vital to keeping the Nauticapedia available to our netizens.

Also my special thanks to my volunteer content accuracy checker, John Spivey of Irvine CA USA, who has proofread thousands of Nauticapedia vessel histories and provided input to improve more than 11,000 entries. His attention to detail has been a huge unexpected bonus in improving and updating the vessel detail content.

SPECIFICATIONS

This listing has sold. To check if it, or a sistership, has come back on the market, please call us.

"Timeless" is hull # 52-05 and is the last of the 52' pilothouse motor yachts to have been built. West-Bay's commitment to engineering excellence, quality of construction and pride in the fit and finish of the yacht's oak hardwood interior is obvious. The SonShip 52 was built from the same mould as was the venerable West-Bay SonShip 58 and so carries the same beam measurement (17' 1"). The layout of the 52' SonShip pilothouse motor yacht is essentially the same as in the 58' model..

Starting aft, a transom door leads forward from the fiberglass swim grid which is moulded into the hull onto the aft-deck/cockpit area. From here, side-decks lead forward to the foredeck and bow. Entrance to the walk-in engine room with full standing headroom is gained through a hatch forward and dual doors opening outwards allows wide open access to the Salon. These double saloon doors are great for opening up the yachts interior to the scenic outdoors or, for when entertaining aboard. The salon is finished in oak hardwood and upon entering, a most comfortable U-shaped leather couch or sofa is situated to the port side. Coral reading lamps are placed in both corners of the couch and a beautifully built and finished teak Hi Lo coffee/dining table is set out in front of this. Occasional chairs enable this table to be comfortable for 4-6 persons for dining. Across to the starboard side is a most comfortable leather and teak reclining chair w/ side table and reading lamp and forward, a 42" flat screen SAT TV sits atop of an oakwood crafted storage cabinet. Proceeding forward from the salon and up 3 steps, a stairway on the starboard side leads up to the forward section of the flybridge. A Dinette with a folding leaf can accommodate 2-4 for dining and is just forward on the starboard side and the "U" shaped and fully equipped Galley is across to the port side. The pilothouse with centerline helm is forward most and port and starboard side-doors lead out to the side-decks. Forward and down starboard side from the pilothouse are the accomodations areas featuring 3 staterooms and 2 full heads. Aft in this area is the Master's Stateroom with en-suite head and stall shower, washing machine and 220V clothing dryer, spacious cedar lined hanging lockers and queen- size bed on centerline. A companionway leads forward from the Master Stateroom, a Guests Stateroom with over/under single bunk berths is to port side. The Guests head with stall shower is across to starboard and the VIP Stateroom with a double bed on the centerline, good hanging locker storage space and plenty of drawer storage space is all the way forward in the vessel.

The Flybridge is accessible both fore and aft and from the interior and exterior. All the way forward on the "command bridge" the helm is on the centerline. Seats for the helmsperson and for a companion are just aft and on portside a cushioned "L" shaped settee seats two persons comfortably. A cushioned deck mounted FrigiBar refrigerator/freezer chest is installed just aft of the settee and the new Bimini Top provides good shade for this area of the flybridge. Aft on the flybridge on starboard side another "L" shaped settee has been built-in. This settee is cushioned and has a small pedestal mounted cocktail table in front. A liferaft (requires recertification) housed inside a canister is mounted on the deck also in this area.

Additional Dimensions and Other Neat Facts about WBSS 52-05

• The L.O.A. of the 52' West-Bay SonShip model is  57' 6"  including the bow pulpit and the swim grid. The yacht is 52' from stem to stern.
• The "height above the waterline" is 15' to the top of the venturi windshield. The aluminum radar arch is hinged and may be lowered as may be the Bimini Top if cruising under low bridges is required.
• "Timeless" is registered in the Bahamas and is "duty paid" there. The yacht is American owned and the U.S. Customs duty has been paid so that the vessel may be offered for sale to U.S. citizens while in U.S. waters. The advantage of the current registry is that the owner of "Timeless" may return to the Bahamas and cruise these waters endlessly and with substantially reduced fees for a Bahamas cruising permit.
• If U.S documentation is prefered then this is easily accomplished by surrendering the Bahamian registration.
• Fuel capacity upgraded to 1000 gallons from standard 600 gallons when boat was built new.

Brokers Remarks

"Timeless" represents a terrific and rare opportunity to own one of the the most exceptional cruising motor yachts ever built in this size class. The West-Bay SonShip 52/58 series features 3 staterooms/2 full heads, well-appointed galley-up, and fully equipped pilothouse. Additionally, these design features when coupled with the walk-in engine room with full standing headroom, walk-around side-decks with extended safety handrails and spacious flybridge with helm station, Bimini Top and lounge seating for up to 10 persons, produce a safe and most comfortable cruising platform.

The yacht's shallow draft, performance, economy of operation and low maintenance exterior produces a vessel particularly well-suited to the south Florida/Bahamas cruising environment.
