Description
86' West Bay SonShip Motor Yacht Arnitta
Extensive Refit in 2026 by West Shipyards, Inc.
Delta British Columbia
Introducing “Arnitta,” a highly customized 86-foot West Bay SonShip Pilothouse Motor Yacht with, a commanding 20-foot beam, originally built in 2003 and extensively refitted in 2026. Constructed by West Bay Shipyards, in Delta, British Columbia, she features a robust vacuum bagged composite hull, utilizing Core-Cell technology and a modified-V design—delivering exceptional structural integrity, weight efficiency, and confident offshore performance.
Powered by twin MTU 12V2000 engines producing 1,480 horsepower each, “Arnitta” cruises comfortably at 12 knots and reaches speeds up to 27 knots, offering both efficient long-range capability and responsive performance when desired. With an approximate range of 1,450 nautical miles, she is well suited for extended Pacific Northwest cruising, Alaska passages, or coastal exploration further south or east.
Accommodations for up to eight guests include three well-appointed staterooms, complemented by private or ensuite heads and dedicated crew quarters. Her thoughtful layout balances privacy with livability, supporting both extended cruising and gracious entertaining aboard.
Her classic lines and confident running profile reflect the Dutch-influenced craftsmanship and proportion that define the West Bay SonShip family heritage. Thoughtfully upgraded and comprehensively serviced in 2026, “Arnitta” represents a rare opportunity to acquire a proven Pilothouse cruising platform with authentic custom pedigree and substantial recent investment.
SonShips are built to the highest standards, using state-of-the-art methods including fiberglass infusion, vacuum bag technology, sound vibration reduction and all with 316L Stainless Steel hardware and frameless windows.
MAIN SALON
Arnitta’s unique accommodation plan begins with a spacious full-beam 20-foot Main Salon finished in a rich American Cherry. Nautical inset joinery, with seagoing brass drawer pulls, reinforces her classic yacht-club character, while a Bausman bench-made chenille covered sofa, two deep brown leather wingback chairs, and an Alderwood Butler’s tray coffee table create a warm, coastal atmosphere.
Fabric Lambrequins frame the Hunter Douglas wood blinds and soften the expansive framless windows, while a discreetly concealed 42-inch plasma television is integrated within the custom entertainment center — preserving the salon’s refined aesthetic.
Other Electronics in the Entertainment Center:
- Panasonic KXTC-1801 Digital 900 MHZ Portable Phone-Slimline
- Surround Sound Receiver
- 5 Disc CD player
- Panasonic Super VHS VCR
- Panasonic DVD Player
- Niles Speakers
- 42" Plasma TV
- Alpine Amplifier
- Alpine Woofer
- Niles IR Power Supply
GALLEY/PILOTHOUSE
The Gourmet Galley flows seamlessly into the raised Pilothouse/Command center so that it functions like the great room of a custom waterfront home. A forward-facing tufted leather settee and dual slim-line Stidd helm chairs, re-upholstered in 2026, create an inviting social hub equally suited to sightseeing, passage making, casual dining, or whale watching.
Arnitta's galley was intentionally designed to be larger than her popular 78' sister-ships, by stretching the galley/pilothouse space and relocating the Sub-Zero refrigerator to port, making the space lighter, and brighter, with a breakfast bar for morning coffee and afternoon wine and charcuterie.
Consequently, sight lines are exceptional, and the design encourages natural interaction between galley, helm, salon, aft deck and flybridge. Dual pilothouse doors open to wide walk-around side decks, enhancing ease of docking and anchoring. Integrated Phantom screens, concealed within the door frames, provide ventilation without compromising aesthetics or function
PILOTHOUSE AND ELECTRONICS
The state-of-the-art, climate controlled, Pilothouse/Command Center has a panoramic view. It features a centered forward Command Center, with dual STIDD helm chairs, re-upholstered in Ultra Leather in 2026. With a range of navigation equipment, a large L-shaped leather tufted chocolate brown Dining/Cruising Settee, a beautiful custom wood table with and Maple & holly flooring. A large Chart Drawer has plenty of room for paper charts, next to electronics display.
Port & starboard Pilothouse Doors have recessed Phantom Screens, and beautiful custom Stainless Steel Stairway, with Maple and Holly floors, leads to/from the flybridge and out to the walk-around decks and bow. Two (2) overhead hatches, with screens, provide additional ventilation.

PRIMARY SUITE & PRIVATE OFFICE
The accommodation plan was intentionally configured to allow for an expanded full-beam primary suite with his-and-hers heads, located aft of the stateroom for enhanced privacy. Appointments include Headhunter Royal Flush heads, heated towel warmers, and a Mr. Steam shower — features typically reserved for larger custom yachts.
Adjacent to the suite is a private library/office with built-in shelving, creating separation from guest areas and supporting extended cruising or live-aboard comfort.
This thoughtful interior configuration also allows the foredeck, aft deck, flybridge, and swim step to be proportionally larger than those found on comparable yachts — reinforcing Arnitta’s emphasis on usable space throughout.
VIP GUEST STATEROOM
The VIP guest stateroom reflects the same craftsmanship and material quality found throughout the yacht. A centerline queen berth provides easy access on both sides, while rich cherry joinery and softly radiused cabinetry create a calm, inviting atmosphere.
Cedar-lined hanging lockers and a built-in bureau offer generous storage for extended cruising. Individual reading lights, built-in nightstands, recessed overhead lighting, and opening hatches ensure excellent functionality, natural light, and ventilation.
A fully private ensuite head delivers true stateroom-level privacy — an arrangement more commonly associated with larger custom motor yachts — creating a comfortable and refined retreat for guests.
Flybridge, Aft Deck, Swim Step, Engine Room
Flybridge
