About
1993/2021 52’ West Bay
For over 50 years West Bay SonShip has been producing high quality semi-custom yachts renowned for their engineering excellence, quality of construction and pride in the fit and finish of interiors.
The 52 was built from the same mould as the venerable West Bay 58 and therefore carries the same 17' 1" beam. Only five of the 52's were built before the 50 (sometimes called the 54 referring to overall length) was created from a different narrower mould. The layout of the 52' pilothouse motor yacht is essentially the same as in the 58' model with a slightly smaller cockpit, salon and pilothouse. 'Next Dance' is unique in that she is the only 52 or 58 West Bay with the galley down, creating inviting interaction with guests while preparing meals, easy access to the cockpit from the galley and maintaining ample space in the pilothouse for guests and navigation.
In 2021 Next Dance underwent a comprehensive 6 month refit at the West Bay yard. All onboard systems were examined and many were updated and a complete transformation of the salon, galley and pilothouse was carried out.
"Next Dance" represents a terrific and rare opportunity to own one of the most exceptional cruising motor yachts built in this size class. She's a classic Northwest cruiser that leaves little to be desired in comfort, style and safety. An ideal couple's or family boat boasting three staterooms and two heads, premium systems and luxury furnishings. Topping the large list of equipment is her active fin stabilization ensuring comfortable cruising in all sea conditions. The West Bay 52/58 series features a well-appointed galley a large fully equipped pilothouse, walk-in engine room with full standing headroom, walk-around side-decks with extended safety handrails and spacious flybridge with helm station and lounge seating.
‘Next Dance’ is a boat shed kept, has been to Alaska and Mexico on her own bottom, and is ready to cruise.
Features:
Full engine service just complete May 2026
Next Dance has been upgraded by West Bay, is very well maintained and details of all the work done are available.
In 2021 Next Dance underwent a comprehensive 6 month refit at the West Bay yard. This updated many of the onboard systems and included a complete transformation of the salon, galley and pilothouse.
Stepping aboard from the hull molded swim platform through a wide transom door you enter a large cockpit that is protected from weather with a partial hardtop and stainless framed canvas brow. There are side decks with high railings both port and starboard for easy line handling or to take you to the bow. The generous cockpit is well laid out with many features of a much larger boat and a floor hatch opens to access a deep lazarette that accommodates batteries, chargers, inverter, water maker and lots of storage.
Cockpit Features:
Flip up wing docking station on port side
Three burner propane cooktop on port side
Sink on starboard side
Stairs up to boat deck and flybridge on port side
Stairs down to walk in engine room
Propane locker
Swim shower
Entering the salon through double doors the extent of the retrofit is evident and you will think you have stepped aboard a much newer vessel. The double salon doors are wonderful for opening up the yachts interior to the outdoors and for entertaining aboard. The salon is surprisingly large, taking full advantage of the boat's wide 17 foot beam and it is an ideal spot for entertaining guests aboard. Large side windows bring in ample natural light.
All interior oak surfaces on the main level have been refinished in a chestnut stain and the wall coverings, carpet and upholstery are all in neutral and earth tone colours. To port is a comfortable built in L shaped settee and to starboard are two ultra-leather barrel chairs separated by a custom cabinet housing a large TV with hydraulic lift.
Forward to starboard is an L shaped side bar cabinet with the galley to port. Most West Bay have the galley in the pilothouse, this is one of a few built with the galley on the main level offering a much better layout. This galley has the counter space, features and storage to make any chef happy.

A new built in L-settee (raised 7” to improve site lines) with a large table are to port behind the centerline helm, the refinished table is a hi-lo with a folding leaf. The increased space from not having the galley up enhances the well laid out dash and lower helm with large drawers and cupboard to port and doors both port and starboard to provide easy access to the side decks.

The huge full beam owners cabin is amidships aft with the ensuite head on the port side. This stateroom features a walk around queen bed, ample drawers, cupboards and a big cedar lined hanging locker for storage. The large ensuite has separate stall shower, vanity cabinet and electric toilet.
From the lower level moving forward the guest stateroom with twin bunks is to port complete with a cedar lined hanging locker and drawers for storage. Across to starboard is the guest/day head with a separate stall shower, vanity and electric toilet.

A hallmark feature of West Bay’s is the separate entrance stairs to a spacious stand up engine room. Opening the hatch from the cockpit you walk down a few steps, the generator is to port and a separate washer and dryer is to starboard.
