The 1997 West Bay Sonship is a 58-foot fiberglass motor yacht with twin Detroit Diesel engines producing 1,250 horsepower combined. The design delivers a cruising speed of 12 knots and a maximum speed of 22 knots. The boat features walkaround side decks with heavy stainless-steel railings, a full-height engine room, spacious cockpit, swim step, and flybridge.
Below decks, the yacht offers a salon, pilot house, galley, and three staterooms, along with two heads. The beam of 17 feet provides interior volume and comfort for extended cruising.
The boat has undergone significant maintenance and upgrades since 2021. The starboard engine was completely rebuilt in June 2024 and has approximately 87 hours of runtime since the overhaul. The bottom was stripped entirely and repainted in February 2026, with props reconditioned at the same time. The yacht is equipped with bow and stern thrusters and a full stabilization system, making it manageable for a small crew.
