Celebrating its 160th anniversary this year, Burger Boat Company has announced it has installed the superstructure onto the hull of the first of two 180’ Motor Yachts. The two vessels are currently under construction at Burger’s shipyard in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. While the first is sold, the second is available for sale, providing its new owner the ideal opportunity to build their new yacht in the United States and add their custom touches to its design without the extended engineering duration typical of a yacht of this size.
The new yachts feature expansive interior and exterior spaces for its owner and guests, while its mechanical features are intended to produce a comfortable cruising experience for their owners. In addition, each yacht has been designed for full handicap accessibility, including a 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.
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. Accommodations for up to 10 guests in four staterooms are situated on the lower deck. Each has large windows to bring in natural light and scenic views,. The 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 set up 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. The owner of the first Burger 180’ Motor Yacht chose to install a 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 optional state-of-the-art exercise equipment that can be discreetly stowed when not in use. Situated all the way forward are two raised seating areas, one each, port and starboard. 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 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.
Stowed in the tender bay is the yacht’s 37-foot tender, which is launched and retrieved via a custom 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 at 11 knots 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. With nine Kohler 40kW generators installed in parallel, the yacht’s power generation system offers maximum efficiency and redundancy while ensuring that no generator ever runs underloaded.
A Naiad Dynamics four-fin, zero-speed stabilization system is installed to provide maximum comfort at sea. In addition, the first Burger 180-foot 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. This system is available as an option on the second Burger 180’ Motor Yacht.
