BAY SHIP & YACHT - 21ST CENTURY SHIPYARD

Our mission is to guarantee absolute customer satisfaction., to achieve this vision we will always:.

     Stay focused on our customer's needs

     Beat our customer's schedule

     Exceed our customer's quality standards

       Provide our customers good value

      Keep our customers absolutely satisfied

It is the policy of Bay Ship & Yacht that safety on the job shall receive first consideration in all of our operations.

   Safety is paramount. All accidents, regardless of severity, indicate that something is wrong with behavior, procedures, or equipment. Our goal is to provide a safe, hazard-free environment for our employees, customers, visitors and subcontractors, by identifying hazards and mitigating risks before an accident occurs. We believe that safety, quality and production go hand-in-hand.

We believe passionately in our ability to provide the highest quality and the best-trained craftspeople available in the shipyard business today.

   Bay Ship & Yacht's quality management system guarantees that every project is able to meet the customer’s exacting standards. Each job is governed by a quality control checkpoint plan, which may include hundreds of individual inspections, affecting each of the 14 skilled craft departments and shops that make up our yard. The specialists in each craft use the QCCP to measure and examine work completed each day, and to judge whether it matches what was promised the customer. As our master checklist, the QCCP ensures that the right tasks are done at the right time, and in the right way.

   The company’s quality assurance program was accepted by Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) in 2015, and achieved QP-1 certification by the Society for Protective Coatings in 2012

COMPANY PROFILE

We have always had a passion for quality.

That reputation is well-known to experienced owners who have made Bay Ship & Yacht their company of choice, and who recognize that the Bay Ship & Yacht experience has set the standard for others to follow.

Bay Ship And Yacht is an example of the best of the best. They are a fantastic employer and they do amazing work. For Alamedens, Bayship And Yacht flies a bit under the radar. You really can't see their business from the roads around Alameda. But Alamedens should know, Bay Ship And Yacht contributes to the Bay Area economy and makes possible our robust, continuously growing, passenger ferry services. Have you ever wondered where tugboats get worked on? Do you have an idea what tugboats do? Without tugboats, those giant cargo ships that bring in everything we use in the United States and export all the things we grow in the Central Valley would not be able to moor alongside the dock. And without Bayship And Yacht, those tugboats wouldn't run. Bay Ship And Yacht is one of the unsung heroes of our region.

They have everything for boats and ships! Highly recommend them for their knowledge and selection of parts.

While I don't actually have a ship or a yacht (yet), it's great having Bay Ship & Yacht around. For a shipmaniac like myself, there's never a shortage of stunning vessels moored for your viewing pleasure. Forget Hollywood celebs -- there are many big-name ships that frequent BS&Y. The Balclutha, Californian, your local ferries, military ships from all eras, tugboats, luxury yachts, and even National Geographic wonder twins Sea Bird and Sea Lion have all stopped by for a visit. BS&Y is a 24-hour yard, so you can ogle the beauties day or night. Spyglass optional.

These guys are the best at what they do. Anytime I have maintenance, big or small, they do it all. 24 hours a day!! Thanks for the quality work, fellas!

Shipbuilding: Leadership Transition at Bay Ship & Yacht

MarineLink February 26, 2022

(Photo: Bay Ship & Yacht)

Bay Ship & Yacht founders Bill Elliott and Alan Cameron step back, name Joel Welter CEO, Gerona Goethe General Manager

Bill Elliott, who during a 45-year career catapulted Bay Ship & Yacht (BS&Y) from operating out of a single, mobile shipping container known as the “Shipyard in a Box” to becoming a premiere ship repair conglomerate in San Francisco Bay, announced a new generation of leadership for the company.

Joel Welter, currently Chief Naval Architect, was named Chief Executive Officer and Gerona Goethe, currently Assistant General Manager was tapped tas General Manager. Both changes are effective March 28, 2022.

Welter graduated from Webb Institute in 1994 with a degree in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering and has been with BS&Y since 1998. 

Goethe, who attended California Maritime Academy, holds a degree in Marine Engineering Technology and has been with the company since 2000. 

Founded by Elliott in 1977, BS&Y’s steady expansion of marine refit and repair capabilities now serves a cross-section of commercial and government customers encompassing the region’s expanding ferry system, barge network, superyachts and more.  

BS&Y’s main facility is located in Alameda, Calif., along with Svendsen’s Marine & Industrial supply, employing approximately (350) craftspeople. Another facility, Svendsen’s Bay Marine in Richmond, Calif. specializes in commercial and recreational vessels.  

Vice President Alan Cameron joined Elliott’s fledging BS&Y in 1979 and currently serves as General Manager. Both Elliott and Cameron will be engaged in business development outside BSY, with the various endeavors of Bay Maritime Corp.

Bay Ship & Yacht Leadership Transition

BS&Y’s beginnings were humble though, as Elliot first operated out of a single, mobile shipping container known as the “Shipyard in a Box.”

In a transition that takes effect March 28, Joel Welter, the company’s chief naval architect, will become CEO, and Gerona Goethe, currently assistant general manager, rises to become general manager.

Vice President Alan Cameron, who joined Elliott’s fledging BS&Y in 1979, currently serves as general manager. In the future, both Elliott and Cameron will be engaged in business development outside BS&Y, according to the company.

Welter graduated from Webb Institute in 1994 with a degree in naval architecture and marine engineering and has been with BS&Y since 1998. Goethe attended California Maritime Academy, holds a degree in marine engineering technology, and has been with the company since 2000.

Founded by Elliott in 1977, BS&Y’s marine refit-and-repair capabilities now serve a cross-section of commercial and government customers, encompassing the region’s expanding ferry system, barge network, superyachts and more.

BS&Y’s main facility, located in Alameda, Calif. along with Svendsen’s Marine & Industrial supply, employs about 350 craftspeople.   Another facility, Svendsen’s Bay Marine in Richmond, Calif., specializes in commercial and recreational vessels.

Historic ships from San Francisco’s National Maritime Museum are a frequent sight at BS&Y, nestled alongside modern ferries and superyachts, according to the company.

BAY SHIP & YACHT CO.

Bay Ship & Yacht Co.

Alameda, california.

Saikley Architects worked with Bay Ship & Yacht Company to create and develop a new vision for their unique 22-acre bayside industrial site at Alameda Point, which borders new residential and commercial development. Th eir company was founded in 1977. Initially they focused on the construction and repair of wooden ships, but has transitioned over the years to repairing, converting and building commercial and military vessels and superyachts, and continues to evolve in related state-of-the art capacities.  

We did multiple projects , including a site Master Plan as well as the creation of a site identity for their new commercial/industrial park—the Bay Maritime Center—to support the needs of multiple tenants.   

The projects balanced the needs of several business functions: preserving the historic beauty of the industrial site, supporting Bay Ship & Yacht Co.’s environmental ethos, addressing vehicular circulation and security, upgrading for ADA, and navigating complex approvals for site development.
