The 199-foot Blue Moon, registered in Cayman Islands, spent this past summer cruising the West Coast. The yacht has a beam of 36 ft., a draft of 11 ft., and is powered by two 2,000 hp Caterpillar diesel engines with a twin-screw propulsion system that provides a cruising speed of 16.2 knots.
Bay Ship & Yacht is the only shipyard on San Francisco Bay capable of maintaining and repairing both steel and aluminum ferries and yachts, as well as tugs and other work boats and diversified military craft. The yard has a 3,000-ton floating dry-dock and a state-of-the-art Syncrolift for docking vessels up to 200 ft. and 1,200 tons and moving them by rail to a total of 16 dry-berth working stations.
