Solitude - WEST BAY FOR SALE

SOLITUDE stands as a superb example of this coveted model from the renowned Vancouver, BC builder, West Bay Shipyards. Her current owners have lovingly cared for her since acquiring her in 2002, keeping her in a sheltered freshwater berth at their private dock. Maintained without compromise by top-tier marine professionals and serviced every season, this luxury motor yacht—a raised-pilothouse flybridge cruiser—is truly turn-key and poised for bluewater passages as well as refined coastal cruising.

Detailed description

Introducing SOLITUDE, a 2001 West Bay 58 RPH SonShip held in a WA LLC, a beautifully executed raised-pilothouse yacht that marries refined luxury with long-range capability. At 58 feet overall with a modified-vee fiberglass hull, she delivers a smooth, quiet and confidence-inspiring ride, optimized for efficient cruising. Twin inboard CAT 3406E engines, each producing 800 horsepower, push her to an effortless cruising speed of 20 knots and up to 25 knots at maximum hull speed, providing both swift passages and responsive handling. Thoughtfully arranged accommodations include 3 spacious cabins and 2 heads, ensuring privacy and comfort for extended stays aboard, while a hydraulic windlass simplifies anchoring. The inviting pilothouse and salon flow seamlessly for entertaining, and the craftsmanship of the bright cherry wood joinery elevates every moment at sea. Welcome aboard SOLITUDE, where performance and poise meet in perfect balance.

Key highlights/ updates

Meticulously maintained with a current detail from keel to truck, SOLITUDE has just received new bottom paint, new shaft seals, and fresh varnish on the transom teak cap rail in 2025, complemented by new and updated exterior weather covers in 2025. Recent technology upgrades include a new Star-Link following antenna (2024), a new Direct TV antenna (2024), and a new salon TV (2024). A rare, custom built-in salon wet bar—an extraordinary enhancement shared by only one other 58 West Bay SonShip—elevates onboard entertaining, while the running gear benefits from props balanced and trued in 2025. Power comes from twin 800 hp CAT 3406E engines showing only 1600 hours, supported by a 20 kW NL generator with 140 hours and a 12 kW NL generator with 450 hours. Electrical resilience is ensured by new 6‑volt inverter bank batteries installed in 2023 delivering 2790 Ah and managed by a dedicated battery monitoring system. Practical cruising features abound: a dinghy fueling station at the transom, “staple” rails on the transom step, teak decking on the cockpit sole and transom step, a crab tank integrated into the transom step, a bait tank with pump in the transom, towing bits at the transom with a tow bridle, and a cockpit docking station. Finishing touches include a Chelsea clock and barometer set, a SAT phone, a custom-built cherry wood co‑pilot chair on the helm deck, heated stone floors in both heads, and line cutters on the shafts.

Salon

SOLITUDE retains the classic 58 West Bay SonShip salon layout while showcasing a custom portside wet bar that transforms the space for effortless entertaining. The luminous cherry wood joinery is beautifully executed and frames the bespoke John Remmy L‑settee, paired with occasional chairs, a coffee table and tailored cabinetry for refined storage. Comfort and ambiance are elevated by a Denon audio system and a new flat‑screen salon TV, while an ice maker and the dedicated wet bar keep refreshments at hand, and a Pace weather monitor keeps you informed as horizons unfold.

Galley/helm

Ascending into the helm deck, the on‑deck galley becomes the social heart of the yacht, fitted with premium appliances and fixtures and paired with a cruising L‑dinette that invites lingering meals with panoramic views. The centerline helm grants excellent sightlines, placing every control within easy reach of the commanding Stidd helm chair. Culinary capability is comprehensive with a Sharpe microwave, a SubZero standup refrigerator/freezer, a Maytag 4‑burner cooktop, a Whirlpool 220 oven, and a Broan trash compactor, all arranged for efficiency underway and elegance at anchor.

Electronics

The navigation and communications suite is extensive and professionally integrated, centered on a Furuno 8 radar; Furuno GP 37 multifunction unit with a repeater on the flybridge; Furuno GP 38 multifunction; and a Furuno FCV 582L color sounder. Passage planning and situational awareness are enhanced by an Ocean PC plotter with Rose Point charting and a repeater on the flybridge, while steering precision comes via a Simrad AP 20 with a flybridge remote. Performance and environment data are delivered by Simrad IS15 wind speed, a Simrad IS15 digital depth sounder with a flybridge repeater, and a Simrad IS15 knot meter. Visibility and safety are further supported by an Elbex camera system monitoring the engine room and aft deck, an ICOM M127 VHF with a flybridge repeater, an ICOM M710 SSB, Star Link, Hynautic trim tabs, a Panasonic phone system/intercom, and an ACR spotlight.

Staterooms

The forward companionway leads to welcoming overnight quarters designed for comfort on passage and at anchor. Amidships, the full‑beam primary suite features an island queen berth, an en‑suite head, abundant cabinetry, and a remarkably generous washer/dryer space adjacent to a true walk‑in closet. Forward of the primary, the port guest cabin offers oversized stacked berths, thoughtful storage, and a large closet to keep belongings shipshape. Furthest forward, the VIP cabin in the bow presents an oversized island queen berth, excellent lighting and storage, and direct access to the day head with a stall shower, ensuring guests enjoy both convenience and privacy.

Flybridge

The flybridge is easily reached from either the pilothouse or the cockpit, with a centered helm that places engine and navigation controls comfortably at hand. Wraparound lounge seating creates a convivial atmosphere, sheltered within an enclosed Bimini top system for all‑weather enjoyment. The electric/hydraulic davit features powered rotation for effortless tender launching, and the tender rests in removable chocks so the deck transforms in moments from boat deck to an expansive social terrace when the tender is in the water.

Machinery

The machinery spaces are accessed via a dedicated stairwell from the cockpit and offer full standing headroom with excellent service clearances around the main propulsion and both generator sets. A deep lazarette aft of the engines provides abundant storage, while ship’s systems are logically arrayed: inverter, water maker, salon forced‑air diesel furnace, house batteries, central vacuum, fresh‑water tanks and pumps—all within easy reach. Power generation is by a 20 kW N. Lights with 136 hours and a 12 kW N. Lights with 411 hours. Systems include a Tank Tender monitoring fuel, water and waste, high‑water bilge alarms, a Key Power hydraulic bow thruster, and WesMar 6' stabilizer fins that contribute to a notably composed ride.
