Cruising - Fishing - Exploring
Fully Equipped - Adventure Ready
Built by Stephens Marine of Stockton, CA to an efficient Jack Hargrave design, Scapha boasts a unique Northwest heritage, and is perfectly set up for Northwest cruising. She offers go-anywhere luxury with reliable tested systems, and boasts exceptional fit and finish throughout. Scapha stands ready to cruise the Pacific NW, and to Alaska and beyond.
M/V Scapha is an exceptional four stateroom luxury motor yacht constructed of aluminum. She was the subject of an extensive refit and modernization in 2002, and to this day, Scapha shows extremely well. Continuously, she has been professionally maintained and operated by captain and engineer, boathouse kept, and shows much younger.
Scapha delivers the performance and systems of a much newer vessel. This extensive refit introduced a 10-foot cockpit extension, a custom Skylounge, and modern Caterpillar 3412E engines, offering 100-foot-yacht features and 4,500-gallon fuel capacity in an 85-foot platform.
Ideal as an owner-operator motor yacht, Scapha also offers dedicated crew accommodations, making her equally suited as a crew-operated luxury yacht. She is US-built, and will not attract duties or tariffs to US or Canadian purchasers.
The 2002 refit by Townsend Bay Marine in Port Townsend, included:
In the off season, Scapha is moored in her 100’ boathouse situated in the Fraser River on the border of Richmond and New Westminster. This location gives her an ideal offseason storage area in fresh water which translates to significantly less maintenance to the underwater body and fittings. Shelter Island Marina, which is a full-service facility, is conveniently located minutes downstream.
The boathouse is a 20 to 30 minute drive from Vancouver International Airport and Vancouver South Terminal, with float plane service available to most of the BC coast.
The boathouse incorporates storage, a work bench and a well-fitted out two bedroom suite in like new condition. This allows owners, guests, or crew to have a full-service base at the boathouse itself.
Purchase of the Scapha and the related boathouse (available separately, or as a package), is a unique offering on the market. The vessel has proven herself over many years of reliable service and has proved to be ideally suited for BC coastal cruising.

This section describes the general layout of Scapha. Details on these areas follow in their respective sections.
Board from a dock or tender to the swim platform aft, then through transom doors, port or starboard, to the vast cockpit.
Up steps to the enclosed California deck with a spectacular varnished table at the centrepiece, that can seat twelve diners . There is a buffet aft with large sink, and a wet bar forward.
The cockpit, California decks, side decks and foredeck are clad in teak, the condition of which is a solid 9/10.
From here, there are two entries to Scapha; through one door to the galley and salon four steps down. Or through another door, up to the pilothouse.
The main level, midships, features the galley and salon in an open floor plan. A substantial island and buffet separate the galley from the salon. The area is surrounded by large windows. The island is surrounded by a very well appointed L-shaped galley.
Forward of the galley is the lower salon, with built in furniture, storage drawers beneath. Here is plenty of comfortable lounging, the main entertainment centre, and it is one of the several gathering spaces on board.
Aft of the galley is a companionway down to two staterooms for guests and owners. The guest stateroom is to port, with a guest / day head to starboard, and further aft is the full beam owners’ stateroom, with a large private ensuite.
Back to the main level: Forward of the salon, on the port side, descend six steps to the forward accommodations foyer. The VIP guest cabin is forward, with three piece ensuite.
Aft in that foyer is another cabin for guests (or crew). Includes a private toilet and basin.
And aft of that through two water tight bulkhead doors, is the utility room and then the engine room, both with full stand up height. The machinery space is well laid out with good service access to all systems.
Back out to the California deck, and up to the pilothouse. Here are three Stidd chairs for operators and guests, as well as a settee and table for more guests. There is a wet bar to starboard, and a huge work station to port. Stairs aft lead up to the boat deck.

Forward of the galley, and central to is the salon, is a custom built-in settee for six or more, storage drawers under, and storage lockers all around
The open galley is beautifully appointed, and is all-modern, offering the amenities of home, including Sub Zero refrigeration, and Gaggenau appliances, surrounded by abundant working spaces, ample refrigeration, and with dedicated storage throughout.
A central feature is the kitchen island with the built in stove top.
Up from the California deck is the pilothouse, helm, and lounge area. This area offers commanding views for operator and guests with three Stidd helm chairs, a large settee with table, a wet bar, and a generous work desk / chart table. More stairs up and aft lead through a door to the boat deck.
Up from the cockpit, port or starboard, enter the enclosed California deck, with more than ample, and well thought out storage including dedicated wet locker, and supplies locker. There is a large wet bar forward with additional cabinetry, and an aft bar / fish processing area with large sink. All cabinetry is beautifully varnished and in excellent condition.
Central to the space is a spectacular varnished teak table with protective cover. Surrounding the table is a built in settee facing aft, and six teak chairs facing forward and at each end. Twelve can dine in comfort.
Board Scapha’s cockpit from the swim platform through either of two transom doors port and starboard. Then from the cockpit, up steps on port or starboard, through teak doors to the California deck.
From the California deck, move forward port or starboard through teak wing doors to the side decks and foredeck. The teak cap rail, and railings are substantial, approximately 30” tall, for security and safety while moving about the vessel. The brightwork is in very good condition.
Aft and up from the flybridge is the working area, which carries the tender and davit system, custom aluminium deck boxes, and there is room for all manner of crab pots and water toys.
120VAC and 240VAC AC and 12VDC and 24VDC power services the yacht through circuit breaker panels with appropriate voltage and ampere gauges. 110VAC provided by shore connection, by either of two generator sets, and based on available house bank battery power, through the inverters.
At sea, the batteries are charged by engine or generator driven alternators, and while at a dock, by the inverters and chargers via shorepower.
Shorepower, on a Glendinning Cablemaster, is routed through isolation transformers, which separates the vessel’s electrical systems from the incoming AC power, eliminating galvanic corrosion.
At the entrance to the engine room is the utility room. It is accessed through a water tight door from the crew cabin.
The 2002 refit included two new Caterpillar 3412 E diesel engines rated at approximately 1,440 hp each. The machinery area was expanded during the refit, and it is an exceptionally well laid out, bright, and clean space, accessed by a water tight bulkhead door. Approximately 5,350 hours on the mains.
In the off season, Scapha is moored in her 100’ boathouse, which is available separately. It is situated in the Fraser River on the border of Richmond and New Westminster. This location gives her an ideal offseason storage space in fresh water, which translates to significantly less maintenance to the underwater body and fittings. Shelter Island Marina, which is a full-service facility, is conveniently located minutes downstream.
The boathouse is a 20 to 30 minute drive from Vancouver International Airport and Vancouver South Terminal, with float plane service available to most of the BC coast.
The boathouse incorporates storage, a work bench and even a well-fitted out two bedroom suite in like new condition. This allows owners, guests, or crew to have a full-service base at the boathouse itself.
Purchase of the Scapha and the related boathouse (available separately, or as a package), is a unique offering on the market. The vessel has proven herself over many years of reliable service and has proved to be ideally suited for BC coastal cruising.
