Welcome Aboard the Macushla
“MACUSHLA” is Gaelic for Sweetheart… and that’s exactly what this boat is!
She is a late model 38′ cold molded custom-made sportfisher powered by twin Cummins 370B diesels and a 10KW genset. Cruise speed is 28+, top speed is 35 knots. And… this boat raises fish! D & A Yachts builds these boats in Costa Rica. Their employees take great pride in their work, with many having over 20 years of experience in boat building. The product speaks for itself: handling, economy, ease of maintenance, and a smooth ride. It’s all here!

To top it off, the boats are nothing less than beautiful. Built for strength and dependability by Costa Rican craftsmen, they deliver the sea-keeping capabilities you’d expect from a 50-footer. We can even help you build one! No expense was spared in providing Macushla with the best in electronics: a 98-mile 25kw radar to find the birds, along with Simrad’s best transducers and sounders. Two air conditioners cool both the cabin and the cockpit.
The galley is equipped with a refrigerator and microwave, and there are bunks forward with a head and shower. The cockpit features a live well, large fish box, and a Release Marine fighting chair.
Fishing gear is top drawer: Shimano reels, Tyranos 30’s, Tiagra 50, 80 and 130’s. Rods are Shimano and Cape Fear, with spinning gear and fly fishing equipment available. Electric teaser reels and Rupp outriggers complete the setup.
