Fulfilling the dream.

The name Burger is synonymous with beautifully crafted, quality-built yachts by the Manitowoc, Wisconsin, builder.

That legacy is evident in the Burger 66 Motor Yacht concept.
The concept is designed to show off a well-balanced and appealing exterior and an interior that has to be seen to be appreciated. From the extended, hydraulic teak swim platform to the expansive bow seating area, and everywhere in between, she can be designed, engineered and built for hands-on cruisers.
“We want to give people options so they can create a yachting experience unique to their ambitions,” says Jim Ruffolo, president and CEO of Burger Boat Company.
Boarding aft presents an alfresco dining area and entry to the main deck salon via a glass sliding door. The spacious, light and airy entertaining space features large windows all around, abundant seating areas, a fully found galley forward, and access to the three ensuite staterooms below: A forepeak VIP, a starboard double berth and an amidships owner’s cabin. Topsides on the bridge deck you will find more entertaining and dining space.
Thanks to the collaboration between Burger and Dutch naval architecture firm Vripack, its patented SlideHull design results in a high level of efficiency at medium planning speeds and good seakeeping qualities.
“Everything we do is about giving owners control of a dream, no matter the size and specifications they have in mind for their yacht,” Ruffolo says. “For us, there’s no greater joy than the partnership we create with each new owner, and each one starts with an idea. It is the beginning of a wonderful adventure, for all of us.”
If a mid-sized, quality yacht is your next acquisition, you may have found it with the Burger 66 Motor Yacht.
