MISS SHUGA is the latest of the 98’ Global Fast Trawlers (GFT) to have reached the market.  She offers a floor plan that is wide open, family oriented and, most importantly, fun. All of the living spaces, as well as the stairwells and companionways, are wide and spacious giving the impression that you are on a much larger yacht. The owners chose a mix of light colored fabrics, brightly colored accents and satin finished Maple wood to invite their guests to interact in a casual, festive and relaxed atmosphere. Crossing the expansive teak laid aft deck, there are large, glass doors that can slide all the way outboard so the aft deck and salon seamlessly come together. The salon, dining room and galley compose the interior main deck with a layout that is perfect for family or formal entertaining. Largely because of the uninterrupted transition from the aft deck, the entire main deck is voluminous and spacious and lends itself equally well to a large crowd as it does to a quiet gathering.

With a central galley in lieu of a country kitchen, the GFT has a spacious on deck master with en suite bathroom. As a family yacht, there are two queen staterooms and one multiberth stateroom below deck that are centered about a large foyer, providing quarters for eight additional guests. All staterooms have a settee and large en suite bathroom. With almost seven feet of free headroom and oversized portlights, below decks have a bright and spacious feel which is similar to the main deck.

Throughout MISS SHUGA, the high quality finish, detailed inlay and custom carpentry are all hallmarks of the noteworthy evolution of MCP Shipyard's interior craftsmanship. The elegant finishwork without a doubt, meets the high expectations of the luxury yacht market. This same detailed craftsmanship and open layout philosophy is carried through to the upper decks which are accessed from the aft deck or salon by wide, teak stairwells.

For safety and ease of use, the 98 GFT has a separate pilothouse on the skylounge deck. When in need of a better vantage point for dockage or navigating shallow anchorages in the Bahamas, the captain also has an aft deck control station and a third helm station on the flybridge. Naturally, he will have plenty of company on the flybridge sundeck because the owners have incorporated seating and sun pads to take advantage of the panoramic view. A custom, aluminum framed hardtop adds yet another element of alfresco versatility to the flybridge of the GFT.

Aft of the pilothouse, the skylounge deck incorporates another large social gathering area including the interior sky lounge and the outdoor Jacuzzi area. The interior sky lounge consists of a round table with seating for six to enjoy breakfast or a card game, some gym equipment, and a convenient day head. The aft sundeck and Jacuzzi are available for relaxing with a spectacular view. The tender sits behind the Jacuzzi and can be launched at a moment’s notice to create even more
space. Forward to the Jacuzzi is a large wetbar/BBQ area for service and refreshment needs. At this level, guests have safe and convenient walkaround decks that lead to the Portuguese walkway and the bow area.

If you approach MISS SHUGA on a floating dock, you will almost certainly be impressed by the high, expedition style bow which resembles that of a much larger yacht. With over 13 feet of vertical distance from the waterline, the high bow sheer
makes the vessel safer and more comfortable when heading into rough seas far offshore. To accommodate the "go anywhere" mantra of the GFT, the bow is outfitted with two large stainless steel anchors with 300 feet of 5/8" inch chain and matching 3 phase Maxwell 4500 windlasses. And, in case you are thinking that the bow was given entirely to functional design, the periphery of this working foredeck offers comfortable, secluded seating.
 
At the stern end of the yacht, MISS SHUGA has a large cockpit for fishing and other water activities. The plumb transom hinges open on hydraulic rams to create a large swim platform and extend the boat to a full 98 feet, hence the
title GFT 98. Incorporated into the port side of the cockpit, there is a unique and functional hydraulic passarelle for aft, medstyle, boarding. The cockpit, too, has teak decks and a high gloss varnished caprail.

In addition to all of the superior design and layout details, the engineering of the boat is its real strength. Coordinated use  of space provides MISS SHUGA with sufficient engine room and lazarette space to accommodate all of the necessary equipment for operating independently over long periods of time in any part of the world. The standard design and specifications includes Northern Light 32KW generators, an ASEA shore converter, Alfa Laval fuel centrifuge, 4 watertight bulkheads, double bottom hulls, fresh water flush of main engines and generators, 1800 GPD watermaker, Freeman watertight doors and hatches, CO2 fire suppression, computerized central monitoring system, 12 square foot Naiad Stabilizers, Headhunter sewage treatment, plus bow thruster and stern thrusters.

For the adventurous crew and owner, the propellers are protected in tunnels behind a structurally reinforced keel. All of these elements come together inside a Lloyd's approved hull (Special Service Craft) that is efficient enough for the Caterpillar C32 main engines to easily achieve an 18 knot cruise or efficiently take you 2500 nautical miles at 10 knots.

While every effort was made to list all pertinent included equipment aboard MISS SHUGA, there are some personal belongings aboard.  Prospective purchasers should assume any item not specifically mentioned herein will not convey at closing.

MISS SHUGA is a vastly improved example of the MCP 98’ Global Fast Trawler line. 

Recent improvements under the current owner are as follows:

• Repaint from the rub rail up (late 2015)
• All new Entertainment electronics including KVH M-7 dome (late 2015)
• All new Garmin/Simrad Navigation package at all three helms (late 2015)
• All new Maretron full ship monitoring system (late 2015)
• Fixed pipe top over entire Flybridge for both comfort & improved aesthetics (late 2015)
• New interior soft goods (2014)
• Full bottom service 5/17

To say MISS SHUGA is ready to go would be an understatement.  She is seriously for sale by an owner who’s business interests have not let him use the yacht to its full capabilities.

Not for sale to US residents while in US waters.
