SHEPSL X, 87' Burger Flush Deck Flybridge Motor Yacht, stands tall, has several standout features and is ready for your inspection!

Walkthrough

Entered via the port or starboard midship rail breaks, one can walk forward to the Pilothouse or aft to the Salon/Dining area.

Entering into the Pilothouse, the area is surprisingly large with the full main helm, three person bench seat and stairs to the Flybridge.

Stairs forward lead to the engine room and the crew area. To port is a double berth ensuite Captain’s cabin and forward is a two bunk ensuite Crew cabin. Also in this area is a separate washer dryer.

Going aft from the Pilothouse is a large Galley and a two person dinette to starboard.

Aft from the Galley is the full beam Salon with a Day Head and a six place round dining table.

A marble topped curved banquette to port separates the Dining area from the Salon.

In the Salon to port is a huge off white upholstered couch, coffee table, two swivel barrel chairs, and a 70” TV facing the couch. To starboard are stairs to the three cabins below.
 

Aft of the Salon through sliding doors is the large enclosed Aft Deck with built-in seating, three teak chairs all around an oval table. A 55” LG TV and access to the original lazarette area also in this area.

Below decks the king size Master suite with separate His and Hers Heads is aft, the port side having a shower to starboard a Jacuzzi tub.

Forward to port is the VIP with an athwartships berth and a head with a second Jacuzzi tub.

To starboard is an ensuite twin lower berth cabin with a stall shower.

Pilothouse

Entered via port or starboard sliding doors, the Pilothouse is surprisingly large with over four feet between the helm wheel and the bench seat aft.

Below the three person leather helm seat are four drawers and two full size chart drawers. Outboard is a cabinet with four additional drawers and a cabinet above.

Forward to port outboard of the centerline helm are four ventilated storage cabinets, two drawers and a cutout for the yacht’s printer/scanner.

The sole is varnished teak and holly.

Aft are steps to the Flybridge and a slim storage locker. Forward to starboard are steps to the engine room and crew cabins.

Galley

Just aft and one ½ stepdown from the Pilothouse is the full beam Galley. The sole is planked vinyl and the appliances are all stainless steel, the cabinets high gloss varnish and the counter tops marble. Unlike many older sisterships, the Galley does not feel dated. To starboard is a two person L-shaped settee with a matching marble tabletop. It faces a 24” Insignia TV. There is storage below the settee.

Dining Salon

Open to the Salon aft, the Dining Salon has a round six place table with upholstered chairs to the port side. Built-in raised panel cabinets forward to port with three above and three below a marble shelf (with drawers within) were built to store all the yacht’s glasses and dinnerware. Outboard is the side deck glass framed entry door.   Just inside the door are Emperador dark marble tiles.

Aft of the dining table is a curved cabinet with four raised panel doors for further storage. A marble top at a height which does not impede the flow of this area was well planned. 

To starboard in the dining area are a set of cabinets that are similar to those to port but instead of storage a clever curved doorway conceals the yacht’s Day Head.

The Day Head has a Headhunter toilet, vanity with sink above and storage below and beautiful decorative tile around the two-sided mirror that makes this small area seem much larger.

The Emperador dark marble sole extends to the starboard side entry door with a large glass pane in the door.

Next aft is a marble topped two door storage cabinet with two drawers within.

Further aft are curved stairs to the accommodations with a raised panel surround to blend into the area’s joinery.

Also in this area are 2 house side windows both port and starboard with Roman shades, (2) digital A/C controls, a carpeted sole, 14 overhead LED lights and a vinyl overhead.
