1990 Northwest Boats Custom for Sale – 107 ft – Seattle, Washington, United States

Shana

Offered for sale in the Pacific Northwest, Shana is a rare and remarkable 107-foot custom motor yacht built by Northwest Workboats of Seattle and designed by renowned naval architect Glade Johnson. Conceived as a long-range expedition yacht with commercial-grade integrity, Shana stands out for her all-aluminum construction—crafted from 5086 and 5053 marine-grade plate—and for her commanding presence, originally purpose-built for an experienced yachtsman with no compromises on quality or capability.

Her displacement hull and robust 330,000 lb build are powered by twin Detroit Diesel 16V92 TA engines delivering 1,400 horsepower each, overhauled just 500 hours ago to professional standards. Backed by Detroit V-drives, oversized bronze props, Naiad stabilizers, and a 16″ hydraulic bow thruster, she is engineered for serious coastal passage-making.

The use of aluminum not only gives Shana exceptional structural integrity and longevity but also reduces maintenance compared to traditional fiberglass yachts.

Designed and constructed in the Pacific Northwest for its demanding conditions, this yacht is a unique fusion of expedition toughness and luxury yachting, offering a platform that is rarely duplicated in today’s marketplace. With systems and capabilities that rival commercial vessels, and a pedigree grounded in one of the world’s great yachtbuilding regions, Shana is a standout vessel for owners seeking true seaworthiness, legacy design, and unshakable performance.
