2003 West Bay Sonship

This West Bay Sonship exemplifies quality craftsmanship from a North American shipyard. It stands out with amenities suitable for family outings, trips with friends, or fishing adventures. Fan Tail is a proven yacht that deserves a closer look.

Now located in Newport Beach, California, it is being offered at a price below the competition for similar models. The seller is serious about selling and is looking to move on to their next venture. 

Unique within the West Bay Sonships of similar size and includes a fully enclosed, air-conditioned flybridge with guest seating and day head. The extended cockpit measures 250 sq. ft. and comes equipped with upgraded bait systems. Key features include a spacious 20' full beam aft deck with seating and accommodations for separate crew quarters for three. The new stainless steel half tower is fitted with a driving station and is a game changer for spotting fish or the task of simply putting her in the slip. 

Inside, you'll find a split-level salon with semi-formal dining and a country kitchen with 180-degree views. Below deck, there is a full beam master suite, along with guest cabins, each equipped with ensuite heads and showers.   This is a testament to 22 years of quality and care today: a yacht that wasn't stamped out of the mold to the masses and serves multiple purposes, from entertaining to private owner use and or fishing. Alaska to Mexico for the West Coast or cruising the Bahamas to Thousand  Islands on the East Coast.

This Westbay is at the ready!
