NORTHLAND - BURGER BOAT COMPANY FOR SALE

“NORTHLAND” is a luxury expedition motor yacht featuring a steel hull with a bulbous bow, crafted in the United States to an exceptional superyacht finish by Burger Boat Company. The original owner and her Captain partnered closely with the shipyard to shape a bespoke build brief, bringing to life a custom project from the studio of Luis de Basto. Homeported in South Florida, her concept prioritized sensible draft for an explorer of this size and a low-maintenance exterior finish, enabling easy operation by a lean crew on extended voyages without compromising elegance or capability.

Since her 2017 debut, the yacht has been kept constantly underway, roaming far afield—including a self-reliant voyage to Norway—making full use of her 4,000+ mile range. Reliable CAT propulsion, ABS-class build quality, and a comprehensive equipment package have underpinned these passages, keeping real-world practicality at the forefront of this bluewater expedition program from planning through execution throughout.

Wide, covered walk‑around side decks include entry doors on both sides—starboard opening to the salon foyer and port serving as a crew access to the galley—and lead forward via steps to a true Portuguese bridge. Removable sea stairs can be fitted to either side at the aft deck boarding gates. Aft access is also provided by a hydraulic passerelle gangway that deploys from the starboard cockpit step. The family‑forward layout offers four staterooms plus crew, highlighted by a bridge‑deck Master suite aft. Two diesel‑powered tenders reside on the forward working deck, keeping the aft area free for a highly functional fishing cockpit space.

Now back at her home berth in Jupiter, Florida, where she will remain during marketing, “NORTHLAND” stands prepared to deliver further world‑class adventures to her next owners with poise.

Accommodations and interior overview

Designed for serene privacy, the yacht offers four ensuite owner and guest staterooms. The master stateroom, set on the bridge deck aft of the pilothouse, features a king-size bed, amazing window views, and direct access to the bridge afterdeck appointed with a settee, table, and chaise lounge chairs. Three guest staterooms on the lower deck comprise two cabins with walk-around queen beds and one with large twin berths, plus an extra pullman berth, providing accommodations for up to 9 people.

The interior is contemporary, styled with an earth tone color palate and enlivened by colorful artwork and a centerpiece “floating” stairway set before an abstract art backdrop featuring ocean jellyfish. Satin finished walnut with a horizontal grain pattern flows throughout, while light colored wall panels alternated with walnut wood framing lift the ambiance of each room. Overheads are fitted with flush mounted LED lighting, all on dimmers, and most spaces are detailed with wood trimmed ceiling features. Lighting and stereo throughout the vessel interior are controlled by a Crestron system, and window blinds through most of the deckhouse are Hunter Douglas silhouette style, adjustable to the desired level of natural light.

German weathered Oak flooring carries through most interior walkways, with carpeting in all staterooms, the seating area of the Salon, and the forward Library/Theater. The pilothouse sole showcases beautiful maple and ebony decking. Day heads on both the main and bridge deck present a modern aesthetic with glass vanity tops, mirror, light colored wall covering, and designer countertop basin sinks and faucets. Their soles are White Carrera marble, a finish echoed on the upper and lower staircase landings and on the soles of all the other heads on the yacht. All the stateroom heads on the yacht have glass shower enclosures, shower wands, and rain heads. HVAC airflow is delivered through ceiling level wood diffuser vents that blend into the decor, supported by two make-up air units for the interior to aid fresh circulation.

Salon

There are two entry doors to the salon: one from the starboard side and one from the aft deck. Entering via the starboard-side door, a coat closet lies aft and a day-head entry forward. Looking aft, a custom upholstered sofa spans the port side, anchored by a forward corner table with a decor lamp, while two comfortable upholstered armchairs define the forward seating area. Aft, a sofa chaise lounge invites relaxation, complemented by two large leather ottomans at the center with a wood cocktail table between them. Along the starboard side, a stand-up bar presents white textured panels wrapping its base, a polished foot rail, and a wood accent band just beneath the bar top, while a wood panel ceiling feature crowns the space above. From the counter behind the bar, a Samsung 50-inch HDTV rises smoothly on a pop-up lift. The seating area is carpeted in Griege patterned Stanton Supreme Bliss, and the sofa backrest cushions and chaise upholstery are rendered in complementary tones, accented with decor pillows and colorful abstract artwork. The aft wall is dressed with complementary cutout, sheer designer curtains.

The bar is fully appointed with a Hoshizaki drink ice cube maker, a GE drink refrigerator with drawers and bottle shelves, and a brushed stainless steel sink fitted with a Kohler Karbon articulating faucet, all supported by fitted glassware storage within the cabinets, dedicated bottle storage, and barkeeper tools.

A forward partition wall shelters the area from water on deck in high seas. Ahead of this partition, the nonskid-finished foredeck showcases polished stainless ground tackle served by two Maxwell 6000 hydraulic windlasses with capstan drums and band brakes, complemented by two chain stoppers with tensioners and stainless rollers and chutes that extend forward through the bow. Dual CQR Ultra stainless anchors are paired with 350 feet and 500 feet of stud-link chain to hold position with confidence. A raised watertight hatch opens to a ladder descending into the anchor locker, where, in addition to the chain bins, a chest freezer is fitted and is generally used for trash storage. Just aft of the hatch, the mounted ship’s bell and safety railing are positioned, while a polished stainless jackstaff crowns the bow peak. On the aft end of the boat deck, pocket compartments on both sides house two sixteen-man Viking life rafts with hydrostatic release, and a diesel fueling hose for the tenders is conveniently accessible from the aft cockpit. The custom tenders, built by Chapman Transition, measure 19' and 22' and share identical Yanmar diesel motors paired with Volvo Penta duo-prop sterndrives. Both are center console helm style boats with aft back-to-back seating consoles, large aft platforms, and sturdy boarding railings. The 22' tender adds a fold-down bow ramp, seating ahead of the console, and a Bimini top, and both boats are equipped with Garmin GPS/chartplotters, VHF radios, and Fusion stereos.

Cockpit and fishing equipment

The approximately ten-foot-long, full-beam cockpit is molded integral to the hull and purpose-built for offshore fishing. At its center stands a Release Marine Trillion teak fighting chair mounted on an offset gooseneck stanchion, encircled by gunwales finished with Esthec curved-down coverboards and complemented by a large transom live bait well. To starboard, a walk-through opening transom door with gate and keeper latch makes landing fish effortless. The gunwales carry ten flush-mounted rod holders, while the fighting chair adds ten striking rod holders on its arms and a rocket launcher with rigging tray–backrest integrating five additional rod holders. The deck is Esthec, and to starboard a large below-deck insulated fish box with a dedicated dump accepts crushed ice. Stowable carbon fiber outriggers are fitted to Rupp radial bases at the aft corners of the bridge, and the captain benefits from a speaker intercom from the bridge and a 360-degree articulating camera mounted above the aft deck. Inside the lazarette, a tackle center provides extensive storage with bait freezer drawers, alongside a large fish-cleaning table that mounts in the rod holders and a substantial aluminum swim ladder. Illumination is assured by a pair of LED cockpit floodlights molded into the aft bridge overhead, supplemented by four Sea Vision underwater lights along the transom. This cockpit was never an afterthought and has been proven extensively, delivering abundant fishing success.

Lazarette and engine room

Accessed from the cockpit through a watertight entry door, the lazarette opens onto durable diamond-plate flooring and descends four steps, where a cube ice machine greets you immediately to starboard.

A curved stairway nearby leads up to the aft deck fiddle door engine room entry. Behind the stairway, the HVAC Dometic chiller system delivers robust climate control through three 10-ton units (all renewed late 2025) with supplemental heat via an immersion heat unit, and S/Rs, Salon, Library, and PH handlers also feature heat strips. Overhead on the portside sits an air handler regulated by a digital thermostat. Outboard of the main engines, two 50kW Northern Lights generators reside in sound shields, their control panels with auto-start feature arrayed on the forward bulkhead. A single generator can power the full boat in most operating conditions, and a Sephco Smartload load bank ensures proper loading. On the forward port bulkhead, the clearly labeled fuel manifold system integrates a transfer pump with six fuel tanks, operating from a day tank (100 gallons), while fuel is conditioned via a Schroeder Industries coalescing and particulate filtration system, aided by priming pumps. Tank levels are tracked by a Maretron digital system and backed up by three Tank Tender pneumatic monitors located on the bulkhead. Above, a Powerex air compressor energizes the horn cluster and air tool connections deployed at several stations, with a refrigerated air dryer system adjoining. To starboard on the bulkhead, the bilge pumping manifold employs labeled gate valves, and the bilge pump and fire main pump sit side by side, interchangeable and both wired with soft-start switches. Further along the starboard side, an independent hydraulic control pack serves the passarelle, and the Headhunter Tidal Wave HMX 6004 waste treatment plant manages blackwater to stringent standards. A Delta T engine room ventilation system provides efficient airflow with vent damper emergency closure capability, while protection below the waterline is bolstered by a Fail-Safe Max galvanic isolator unit and a Siemens CAPAC cathodic monitor.

Power comes from twin Caterpillar C18 ACERT diesels, A duty rated at 475 hp, turning through Twin Disc Quick-Shift transmissions with 3.5:1 reduction to a straight-shaft drive with Torsional Coupling. Raw water cooling is drawn via two Sea Chests with crossover and blow-down fittings, and the underwater exhaust features a bypass circuit. Engine health and cleanliness are supported by a crankcase ventilation and oil recovery system, with dual Racor primary fuel filters for the mains and generators monitored by restriction pressure gauges. Serviceability is enhanced by overhead hose reels delivering fresh lube oil through Fill Rite meters and dedicated waste-oil return reels feeding designated tanks. CAT color engine data displays are installed in pairs at the Pilothouse, Flybridge, and in the engine room, while CAT engine control binnacles are positioned at the Pilothouse, Flybridge, and each wing docking station. Precision close-quarters handling is further elevated by a YachtController wireless remote for engine and bow thruster control, and CAT emergency backup control panels stand ready both in the Pilothouse and within the engine room.

Hull and deck

NORTHLAND’s hull is welded ASTM A36 steel, and her superstructure is welded aluminum using 5000 and 6000 series marine-grade aluminum alloys. Built to ABS A1 class regulations, the structure is engineered for watertight integrity with watertight doors, hatches, and windows. All decks are cambered to shed water efficiently, and freeing ports are arranged as per the Classification Society regulations. All decks, except the anchor area of the foredeck, are fitted with Esthec Nautical Decking, a Dutch-made teak alternative that is exceptionally solid, durable, and easy to maintain, finished in Biscuit with dark gray seams. Solid Esthec is also employed in the cockpit in place of the covering board/coaming, as a cap rail accent on the centerline aft, on all exterior stairs, and as exterior overhead trim across all three decks. Polished stainless steel name plates grace the flybridge sides and the transom, while fuel fill stations to either side deck feature Camlock-style fittings and containment drains leading to the oily water tank.

Beneath the waterline, a bulbous bow is paired with a 100 hp hydraulic proportional bow thruster. ABT stabilizers with four actuator fins and a protective keel keep the propellers well above harm, complemented by shaft and rudder tubes and five-blade Michigan Nibral propellers. Becker Marine Systems high-lift, flap rudders deliver remarkable maneuverability. The hull is painted with Awlgrip HDT in Castle Tan, sealed beneath two topcoats of clear, while the deckhouse is finished in Awlgrip 2000 in Stark White. Anti-fouling is Black Sea Hawk Biocop, with Halkron on the propellers, running gear, rudders, and thruster prop blades. A bottom job is scheduled for mid-July 2026. Tan Sunbrella covers protect virtually everything on the flybridge, both tenders, the bow windlasses and ship’s bell, search light, air horns, fighting chair, and exterior tables, chairs, and settees.

Broker comment

An original-owner, USA-built and flagged yacht, NORTHLAND reflects the quality and functionality of her proud shipbuilder and has proven herself through extensive travel. The captain has been with this boat since the first steel was cut, living at the shipyard during most of its construction, and his typical operating profile is to run 1300rpm at 55% load, making 9.5 to 10 knots while burning a total of about 20 gallons per hour, rendering the range of trip possibilities truly remarkable.

General overview

NORTHLAND is a luxury explorer yacht with a steel hull and bulbous bow, built in the United States by Burger Boat Company to an exceptional standard of finish. The original owner and captain worked closely with the yard to oversee the construction of this custom-specification project from the design board of Luis de Basto. Based in South Florida, she was conceived with a reasonable draft for this style of vessel to enable Bahamas-friendly usage, and with a lower-maintenance exterior to allow regular operation with a modest number of crew. Her cockpit was designed for offshore fishing, while all water activities benefit from excellent access for tender operations.

Since her launch in 2017, she has traveled extensively, including a passage to Norway on her own bottom, made possible by her 4,000-plus-mile range. Dependable CAT power, ABS A1 build quality, and a strong equipment list have all contributed to these ventures, with practicality kept as a primary driver.

Covered walk-around side decks provide entry doors on both sides, with the starboard door opening to the salon foyer and the port door serving as a crew entrance to the galley, while steps forward lead up to a Portuguese bridge. Sea stairs can attach to either side at the boarding gates onto the aft deck, and aft boarding is available via a hydraulic passerelle gangway deployed from the starboard-side cockpit step. The general arrangement offers four staterooms plus crew, oriented toward family use, with a master suite aft on the bridge deck. Two diesel-powered tenders are carried on the forward working deck, preserving a well-utilized fishing cockpit aft.

Having returned to her home dock in Jupiter, Florida, where she will remain while being marketed, NORTHLAND is ready to offer more world-class experiences to her second owners.
