VERY MOTIVATED SELLER OPEN TO ALL OFFERS OR TRADES

LONG-TERM DOCK SLIP IS AVAILABLE FOR NEW OWNER AT NICE LIVE-ABOARD MARINA IN FORT PIERCE WITH A SPECTACULAR VIEW, PLENTY OF PARKING, AND VERY NICE MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL

Located in Fort Pierce, Florida.  This yacht is a magnificent example of quality and heavy duty construction. She was totally refit top to bottom, inside and out from 2004 to 2012 by her current owner, with 40 plus years of experience in the marine industry. Her beautiful mahogany interior has been refinished with Awlcraft 2000 and Awlbrite. Super high gloss finish throughout. Aft deck area is all teak. Same Awlgrip finish. All interior mahogany cabinets and woodwork were stripped and refinished, most of them had been painted over the years but fortunately they were made with very thick solid 1 inch mahogany and easier to refinish compared to all veneer and plywood boats of later years.

Remodeled heads, with new sinks, tile, and fixtures. All new mattresses in every stateroom. New watercooled, 4 ton AC unit on bridge cools pilothouse and aft deck. All new seastrainers and AC pumps, and thru-hulls installed in 2016. Exterior was stripped to bare aluminum, windows removed and replaced with factory rubber. Exterior hull and topsides were faired with west system fillers, Awlgrip primer and Awlgrip topcoat. All decks and superstructure were faired out with no expense spared she has smooth lines and has no waves as do most aluminum yachts. Deck and exterior hardware were carefully installed with a special isolating technique using isolators made from delrin and nylon to help prevent corrosion due to unlike metals touching. Very time consuming but worth every penny. No one takes the time to do this when they refit these aluminum boats.

Too many upgrades to list, must come see this amazing vessel to appreciate all that has been done. This was not a normal refit, it went way beyond that of normal refits. I used all my years of working on these yachts to make this one a true Gem. FantaSea has been used very little since its restoration. Some exterior wood trim etc. needs refinished again. Rails are good, but exterior just needs spruced back up some, buffing/polishing and britework. She also needs a new bimini top thanks to Irma.

FantaSea has only had two owners in its 57 years. She is a heavy duty ship that has been a pleasure to own and refit. She is ready to have a great new life with a new owner.

One additional true fact about this choice you are consider: should you become part of the ex-clusive Burger yacht owner’s clan, you’ll know you have joined one of the most exclusive fleet of yachts in the world.

Burger Boat Company was founded in 1863, and is known for designing and building distinctive, custom aluminum and/or steel yachts. Valuing tradition, yet happy to welcome those innovations that would provide excellent value to their exclusive brand, your yacht will be known for it’s ex-quisite craftsmanship to reflect your very own style, while combining state-of-the-art technology.

In admiring the finished project, it will be clear to see how Burger reflects the loyalty and passion it’s employees have for each and every owner.

The Burger Design Team chooses the best in the business to ensure every yacht and commer-cial vessel they introduce is of spectacular quality, excelling in all areas of reliability, quality of fit and finish, and, most importantly, safety.

Having launched seven new yachts recently, with the largest coming in at 153 feet - named IN-GOT, don’t be surprised to learn that two of these new launches are measuring in at 42 feet in length - for those desiring a more manageable ride that can be operated without a crew!

BLUE, is a 48 Cruiser featuring a stunning De Basto Designs interior; while BLUE BOAT HOME Is the first totally customized, unique Burger 48 Cruiser. Burger went all out in conjunction with the designer and discriminating owner to develop this very special addition.

Looking for a commercial vessel, Burger has recently launched quite a few from 62 to 98 feet. One of the two 98 footers (30M), named CHICAGO’S LEADING LADY is the first steel vessel they’ve built, since launching BRODIE VI. A special, ‘Chicago’s First Lady Cruises’ build, she shows similar to the traditional Presidential Yacht, Sequoia with it’s mahogany panels and brass details—a 349 passenger, USCG certified type K vessel.

Burger’s new projects on the horizon range from a 214 foot tri-deck to a popular 112 Raised Pi-lothouse Motoryacht. Step aboard and I’ll show you around! Enter aboard into her expansive main salon and dining area, where you’re stewardess can make you a drink. This space is ideal for any entertaining or relaxing that’s on the menu. Continue on, to take a peek at her full beam main deck owner’s stateroom with his and hers en suite baths and lots of closet space. You’ll en-joy the welcoming feel her main entry foyer provides as well. Step into her comfortably chic guest staterooms. Four in total and all with en suite baths. Looking for an optional guest configu-ration, then you would steer towards the alternative that provides you with a VIP and two guest staterooms or even a gym.

The galley is spacious and provides efficiency for any master chef to whip up a meal that would rival the finest restaurant. Come with me now to her spacious pilot house and have a seat on her settee, where you can munch on some snacks at her table and join in on the Captain’s cruising action. Now for some outside fun, follow me from the pilot house to her generously sized, open sundeck where you’ll have your choice to either sunbathe, catch up on your favorite novel in the shade or take in the ever changing views accompanied by your favorite hors d’oeuvres. Step down forward into the crew area to visualize where your six crew members will feel well taken care of in their lounge and galley area. For those with lots of goodies to bring on each trip, you’ll appreciate the generous storage Burger thought of in advance including a hidden store room you can access at the aft end of the sundeck.

Want to feel the ride…that won’t be a problem as she’s powered by CAT C32’s with a cruising speed of 18 knots —topping out at approximately 22 knots.

As we hop off this stunning example of class and performance that rivals any yacht of the same size, you’ll now know why Burger’s wish come true is to be internationally recognized as the fin-est custom yacht builder in the world!
