The Burger 180' Motor Yacht

The Burger 180 Motor Yacht, currently under construction, is an exciting example of Burger’s continuing creativity and features expansive interior and exterior spaces for its owner and guests, while its mechanical features are intended to make the cruising experience even more comfortable. In addition, the yacht has been designed for full handicapped accessibility, including its large elevator, providing all guests easy access to each of its four decks.

Boarding the yacht from the stern mounted passerelle, guests are greeted on the expansive aft deck. This area provides direct access to the Main Salon, Tender Bay, and via a circular stairway, the aft Bridge Deck. Additionally, easy access to the swim platform is provided via the Tender Bay.

Designed for Adventure

Every Burger is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece tailored to the owner's specific vision.

“This yacht was created to offer something extra special to those who wish to live the Limitless lifestyle. With her stunning profile, extraordinary features, and renowned Burger attention to detail, the Burger 180’ Motor Yacht is an exceptional yacht, one we are excited to introduce to the world.” Jim Ruffolo, Burger’s President & CEO

Built for Luxury

Stowed in the Tender Bay is the yacht’s 37’ tender, which is launched and retrieved via a custom Nautical Structures hydraulic “stinger” system. With this system, the tender is safely stowed while underway, thus eliminating the need for towing.

Powered by twin Caterpillar 3512C IMO Tier II engines, the Burger 180’ Motor Yacht has a range of 4,000 nautical miles without needing the costly and space-consuming SCR’s required for Tier III engines.

Designed with entertainment, technological advances, reliability, and worldwide cruising with family and friends in mind, the Burger 180’ Motor Yacht offers many mechanical firsts in yachting. The electrical generation system has been developed to ensure adequate power in all situations. Naiad Dynamics Four Fin, Zero Speed Stabilization System is installed to provide maximum comfort at sea. In addition, the Burger 180’ Motor Yacht incorporates Naiad’s Total Ride Control® system. This system includes integral Trim Tabs and a hydraulically actuated bow-positioned T-Foil. Working in conjunction, the Trim Tabs and T-Foil significantly reduce vessel pitch while at sea.

The Main Salon is an ideal area for more formal entertaining and dining experiences. Large windows provide a feeling of openness while enjoying time with friends and family.

Forward on the Main Deck is a full beam Owner’s Suite with an adjoining private Office. Guest accommodations for up to ten guests in four staterooms, with large windows to bring in natural light and scenic views, are situated on the Lower Deck. These staterooms are easily converted into two sets of family suites.

The Skylounge offers a large bar and entertainment area for relaxation with friends and family and opens to the aft Bridge Deck which is an exceptional area for outdoor dining, entertaining, or relaxation. Forward on the Bridge Deck are the Pilothouse, Yacht’s Office, and Captain’s Stateroom. For those who wish to take in the action and view the journey while outdoors, a large circular seating area is situated forward of the Pilothouse.

The expansive Sundeck offers many areas for outdoor enjoyment. Central features of the Sundeck are the custom centerline bar and a large pool accommodating up to 12. When desired, the pool can be easily partitioned into a pool and a hot tub simultaneously.

The Sundeck also offers a large area for fresh air workouts utilizing state-of-the-art exercise equipment that is discreetly stowed when not in use. Situated all the way forward are two raised seating areas, one each port and starboard, and three individual, forward-looking chairs providing beautiful vistas of the surroundings.

The professional Galley is designed for the most demanding needs and long-range cruising. It features commercial equipment and includes a large walk-in refrigerator, walk-in freezer, walk-in pantry, and direct access to the Skylounge Service Pantry.

The Crew accommodations are configured for up to 13 and are designed to provide private staterooms for the yacht’s Captain, Chief Officer, Chief Engineer, Chief Stewardess, and Chef. In addition, a large lounge and relaxation area, with large windows, is provided for crew comfort.

Below the foredeck is the Anchor Handling Deck where all anchor handling gear is situated. For ease of anchor deploying and retrieval, port and starboard Anchor Viewing Platforms are installed. This area also provides storage for two personal watercrafts.

History of Burger Yachts

The history of the Burger Boat Company begins with Henry Burger who, having moved with his family from Germany to the USA when he was a child, began as an apprentice shipbuilder at the Wolf & Davidson Shipyard in Milwaukee at the age of 18.

Henry Burger was 24 when he founded the Burger shipyard, intending to produce small 20 – 30 foot Mackinaw boats for local commercial fishermen. In 1870, during the heyday of wooden sailing ships, Henry and Mr. Greene-Rand consolidated their Manitowoc shipyards to form the Greene-Rand, Burger Shipyard – building, among many others, the sailing schooners CITY OF MANITOWOC and J.I. CASE, and this partnership continued until Mr. Rand’s death in 1885.

In 1886, Henry took his nephew, George B. Burger, into partnership forming the Burger and Burger Shipyard. In 1887, envisioning the decline of new wooden sailing ships, they purchased the only dry dock in Manitowoc to begin a ship repair business.

This combination of new construction and ship repair was the formula that made Burger prosperous during the 1890’s when many other shipyards struggled. Between 1870 and the turn of the century, the Burger brand name appeared on almost 100 new vessels including steamers, tugs, scows, schooners and barges.

In 1902, Henry B. & George B. Burger, after almost 40 years in business, sold their shipyard to the Manitowoc Dry Dock Company and Henry Burger retired. Ten years earlier, in 1892, Henry’s nephew, Henry B. Burger Jr., formed a company in his own name, the Henry B. Burger Shipyard, just across the river from his uncle. It is on this site that the current Burger Boat Company has evolved.

While continuing to build small sailing and fishing vessels, Henry ‘Junior’ quickly recognized the potential advantages of the newly developed gasoline engine and the yard’s first motor launch, the 85′ cruiser, VERNON JR., was delivered in 1901. Within ten years, the company was building multiple 80, 90 and 100-foot wooden cruisers and had established a reputation for building the finest custom motor yachts.

Henry junior died in 1914, leaving the company to his wife and four children, who assumed ownership and management of the shipyard and, in 1915, they incorporated as Burger Boat Company.

Throughout the first and second World Wars the Burger Boat Company built many vessels for the US army and navy. With the advent of peace in 1945, Burger devoted its efforts to producing pleasure yachts. Luxury cruisers and auxiliaries were built and a line of custom and semi-custom yachts was introduced in 1949.

The heyday of flush decks, cruisers, houseboats, raised and semi-raised pilothouse motor yachts continued through the sixties, seventies and into the eighties. During this period, Burger worked with notable naval architects such as Sparkman & Stephens, J.B. Hargrave, C. Raymond Hunt, and Donald O’Keeffe.

In October 1986, due to the declining health of Henry E. Burger, the family sold the company to John McMillian, a then current customer building an 86-foot yacht.

Burger continued to prosper and for the period between 1985 and 1990, 47% of all the registered motor yachts over 80 feet built in the U.S. were built by Burger Boat Company.

In April 1989 McMillian sold Burger to United Shipbuilders of America, a newly created subsidiary of Tacoma Boat Building Company. Unfortunately, the unexpected loss of several large naval contracts, along with the newly instituted luxury tax, caused the already-struggling Tacoma Boat Building Company to abruptly suspend operations and in November 1990, the closing of Burger was ordered.

On February 5th 1993, 26 months after the closure, the Burger brand was reborn when Chicago entrepreneurs and businessmen David Ross and Jim Ruffolo purchased the assets of Burger Boat Company and reopened the shipyard.

The first yacht under the new management was the 91-foot Raised Pilothouse Motor Yacht WINDRUSH. This eagerly anticipated yacht was so highly acclaimed at the 1994 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, that it was directly responsible for Burger Boat Company receiving three additional yacht construction contracts.

Since its reopening, Burger has experienced tremendous growth. Along with this success and expansion, the Burger University was initiated in 2006 to provide new and ongoing training in all trades and departments.

David Ross retired in 2007 and the then co-President, James (Jim) Ruffolo, took over as sole President/CEO.

Burger are dedicated to maintaining their industry leading position and put client satisfaction ahead of all else.

The Burger collection

Notable superyacht builds from the Burger shipyard’s modern-day operation include the 142-foot (43.3m) SEA OWL, designed by Andrew Winch and launched in 2009, and the retro-styled 151-foot (46m) SYCARA IV, which was designed by Ken Freivokh.

SEA OWL was a full-custom build and the owner’s requirements were for a master stateroom on the main deck with a private study, a main salon and dining area that were open plan, and multiple exterior deck areas with space to dine, lounge and socialise.

The largest Burger-built superyacht to date is the 153-foot (46.6m) INGOT. INGOT was launched in 2008 and has both an aluminum hull and superstructure. The Burger Boat Company was responsible for her exterior design, and they collaborated with Vripack for the interior. INGOT is a mechanical masterpiece, with each system fully accessible for maintenance and providing her owner with exceptional reliability. INGOT is an ocean-going, long-range superyacht. Fully classified to the requirements of the American Bureau of Shipping and built in compliance with the Maritime Coastal Agency LY2 code, INGOT can be seen in ports around the globe.

Burger’s modern shipyard, and its highly skilled engineers and craftsmen, makes Burger a logical choice for new vessel construction, refit, repair or maintenance.
