 This 1999 58 Son Ship by West Bay is currently owned by a seasoned cruiser who has outfitted Wavos Rancheros for extended cruising while at the same time being completely self sufficient! The list of upgrades and maintenance performed on this vessel are unlike and more extensive than anything you will have seen on any other similar vessel.

 For those not familiar with Son Ship, their parent company, West Bay, is renowned world wide for their high quality, robust super yacht offerings The same attention to detail and overbuilt systems are evident everywhere you look on this boat. Please read on for all the intimate details!

    As you board this vessel from the very wide, soft teak clad swim platform, you will notice hand holds in all the places you would need them to accommodate safe boarding and disembarking. You will also see two pop up cleats that can be used to secure the tender while in use. There are also two 50 AMP shore power cords that are easily controlled by the Glendinning Cable Master systems, eliminating lifting and struggling with heavy shore power cords. Both of these 75' cords were recently replaced.

 Up two steps from the swim platform brings you into the very spacious aft deck area. There is a locking solid fiberglass door to help eliminate unplanned swim adventures while at sea! This area has approximately 4' of freeboard from the sole to the top of the gunnels, creating a safe space for pets or small children. Also located in the cockpit area is a large propane grill in a covered locker as well as a small refrigerator, allowing easy access to a cold beverage without tracking through the salon with wet or sandy feet.

 Up two more stairs from the cockpit area and moving forward, you will come to two opening doors into the salon area. The ability to open one or two doors, based on need, eliminates the normal concern about "how do I get the refrigerator out when it breaks, or how do we replace the furniture without the use of power tools??!!"

On the forward port side there is a huge, walk in closet, sure to make the Admiral happy with plenty of room for clothes for all occasions!
