Overview
Virtual Tour:
This is the finest example of a 68' West Bay Sonship. Her beautiful styling, exceptional performance, and enormous volume make her one of he most capable mid-sized yachts on the market today. Her 20' beam provides superior accommodations equal to many larger models. Her desirable layout provides a full width master suite, full width VIP stateroom, and a third double stateroom. Aft of the engine room is a fourth stateroom or perfectly situated crew's quarters. She is powered by reliable MTU engines which provide a comfortable speed in excess of 20 knots and a maximum speed of 30 knots. She also runs beautifully and very efficiently at 8 to 10 knots. The Naiad stabilizers make for a very comfortable ride even in large seas. Her bow and stern thrusters, coupled with excellent visibility from the flybridge, pilothouse, and stern docking stations, makes maneuvering in tight quarters a breeze. Wide safe side decks ease the task of line handling.
