1998 Burger Raised Pilothouse

Fort Lauderdale, Florida

$7,250,000

SILVER SEAS is a 107’ Open Flybridge Burger motor yacht with a raised pilothouse. She boasts a wider beam than most of her sisterships, providing more salon space and larger side decks. Silver Seas has four staterooms, each with an ensuite, as well as accommodations for up to six crew members. There are various dining areas throughout the yacht, including informal dining in the country kitchen, formal dining in the saloon, and al fresco dining on the aft deck and flybridge. Silver Seas is offered in spectacular condition and is listed for sale because her owner is approaching retirement and wants a Burger with less air draft to easily transit to the Great Lakes, Canada, and the 30,000 islands every summer. This is an incredible opportunity to purchase a “turnkey” Burger with an excellent charter history for those who only desire the finest on the water! 

SILVER SEAS was originally built for the owner of an NFL football team; it was his second Burger. The next owner was a magazine publisher who owned many yachts, and the third was an ocean racing sailor who owned three prior Burgers himself. The current owner performed an 8-year restoration on his prior Burger. Upon taking ownership of SILVER SEAS, he performed a multi-year restoration on the 20-year-old Burger, completely overhauling the vessel and making her like new again. No expense was spared, and every detail was meticulously attended to during the restoration process. The cost of her comprehensive restoration approaches what SILVER SEAS originally cost to build. Burger motor yachts have a large and loyal following however, finding one in such excellent condition as Silver Seas can be a challenge for any buyer.  Frequently in yachting, a full paint job and major engine overhaul is called a “major refit.” The work on SILVER SEAS included these big-ticket items but also included refairing the hull before painting, removing and rebedding all windows, fresh varnish on all interior woodwork, installation of marble tile, new chrome plating on all interior brass hardware, upgraded high-end galley appliances, new electronics, new toys including jet skis and sea bobs and many more upgrades to ensure her complete rejuvenation.

SILVER SEAS is the largest, newest, open flybridge Burger motor yacht available today. She is priced at about one-half her replacement cost, presenting a great opportunity for buyers.

ACCOMMODATIONS

Guest staterooms amidship and crew in the bow

The owner’s accommodations are accessed from the main salon, starboard side foyer. A  paneled staircase, in a gently curving radius, descends to the lower foyer for access to all four staterooms. In addition to the staterooms, a laundry closet is also accessed from the lower foyer.

Master Stateroom
The master stateroom is forward, with access from the lower foyer through double doors. There is a cedar closet aft to port and built-in bureaus to port and starboard, including book shelving and attractive window treatments. The king-sized master berth is centerline featuring a wooden headboard and nightstands with bookshelves above. The master stateroom is equipped with an independent audio/video system and access to the yacht’s central entertainment system for XM radio, CD, DVD, and satellite TV reception. 

Guest Staterooms
The additional three guest staterooms include one queen berth cabin to port, an upper and lower cabin to port, and a starboard cabin with oversized twin berths. All are beautifully appointed and feature private ensuites with showers, cedar closets, and individual temperature controls.   

Crew Quarters
Forward on the lower level and accessed from the galley/country kitchen area are the crew accommodations. Three double staterooms, including a captain’s cabin with a queen berth in the bow, are nicely appointed with top-quality joinery and cedar closets. The captain’s cabin has an ensuite head with a shower, while the other two crew cabins share a head and shower.

The crew quarters are furnished with a built-in laundry station independent of the owner and guest area, which includes a fold-down table and sink to facilitate folding and cleaning of linens. Each crew cabin is furnished with its own temperature control system as well as audio/video systems, while the captain’s cabin is equipped with monitoring displays for communications, nav, alarm, anchor watch, and security systems.

MAIN DECK
Silver Sea's main deck level is surrounded by walkaround side decks with entry doors to the interior from midship watertight doors to port and starboard and through a single door from the aft deck into the main salon.

AFT DECK
The teak-planked aft deck is one of the focal points of the yacht for relaxing and al fresco dining. Wing doors are to port and starboard, opening to the side decks, while double stairs lead to the integral swim platform aft. A built-in, cushioned bench seat aft faces the high gloss, pedestal-mounted teak table forward with additional pull-up seating for up to ten. The wet bar with refrigerator and ice maker are built-in forward on the bulkhead.

SALON AND DINING
Upon entering the main salon from the aft deck, the overwhelming sense of elegance is immediately apparent. Surrounded by large, hardwood framed windows, intricately carved crown moldings, and valances, the expansive salon is a feast for the eyes both day and night, thanks to a variety of lighting options. Remote control blinds (individually controlled) provide transparent screening and blackout screening.

Forward in the salon and separated from the lounge area by a  storage credenza is the formal dining area which is further offset from the rest of the salon by its paneled overhead. Additional storage is provided in a second cabinet outboard to port of the dining table. All table service storage is built with slotted, pullout compartments with locking détentes to ensure quiet, secure safekeeping while underway.

DAY HEAD
To port, forward of the dining area is the smaller of the two midship entry foyers. Inboard of the foyer can be found the nicely appointed day head. Outboard, a watertight passage door opens to the port side deck. Forward from the foyer is an interior door with access to the “electronics room” beneath the pilothouse. This area provides access to technology racks for audio/video and communications systems as well as providing a large volume of storage for provisions, equipment, and supplies.

ENTRANCE LOBBY
Opposite the day head to starboard is the vessel’s formal entry lobby from the starboard side deck. Spacious and well-lit, the lobby leads aft to the dining area and main salon, while forward is the galley and informal dining area. Access to the raised pilothouse is adjacent to the formal entry lobby. Custom removable child/pet safety gates from companionway to salon and guest staircase.

RAISED PILOTHOUSE
Raised up several steps from the main deck level, the spacious pilothouse provides an excellent view through five canted windshields forward and two large windows to each side. In addition, there are additional lower windows to port and starboard for added viewing of the side decks and seaway beyond. The pilothouse is paneled in beautiful woodwork. An upholstered l-shaped bench seat is aft, while the helmsman is comfortably seated on a  fully adjustable Stidd helm chair.

The pilothouse reflects state-of-the-art technology for yacht navigation systems. The “black box” navigation electronics package is extensive, including a night vision camera that can recognize thermal, low light, and color imaging. Also included is Burger’s proprietary B.A.S.I.C.S. ship’s system, which can monitor a myriad of functions involving security, safety, electrical components, fluid levels, and fuel transfers. Additionally, Burger’s A.M.P.S. system manages generator and shore power functions and provides automatic, seamless transfer between the two.

CONSTRUCTION

Aluminum #5086 hull and superstructure with four watertight transverse bulkheads. Internal hull framing is both longitudinal and athwartship. For sound reduction, the bulkheads are isolated from the hull shell plating with insulation from the waterline up. Additionally, all mechanical equipment is isolation mounted. A double bulkhead separates the mechanical rooms from the stateroom section of the yacht. The engine room overhead has 4” insulation for further noise reduction.

The hull form has a sharp entry with a rounded chine forward tapering to a vee bottom aft with a constant deadrise of 17 degrees.
