About the Organization
When Ben and Leidy Vermeulen founded SonShip and West Bay Shipyards, they had modest plans to build and repair boats. Ben had arrived in Vancouver from war-torn Holland eight years earlier, equipped with just $52 in his pocket and some early training as a goldsmith. He worked with a Lower Mainland wrought-iron fabricator, started a steel company, and turned to boat building in 1967.
The Vermeulens quickly built a reputation for their fine craftsmanship and honest, hardworking approach to business. In addition to boat and yacht repairs, refits and parts, West Bay Shipyards began to design and build the SonShip family of luxury yachts.
