Celebrating its 160th Anniversary as one of the oldest and most respected shipyards in America, Burger Boat Company is pleased to announce that it has installed the superstructure onto the hull of the first of two 180’ Motor Yachts.
The two Burger 180’ Motor Yachts are currently under construction at Burger’s shipyard in Manitowoc, Wis. 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.
These new yachts are exciting examples of Burger’s continuing creativity and feature 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, each yacht has been designed for full handicapped accessibility, including its large elevator, providing all guests easy access to each of its four decks.
