SHEPSL X - BURGER BOAT COMPANY FOR SALE

Fresh price adjustment—now offered at $899,000 (1/29/2026). Launched at 81 feet and professionally lengthened by 6 feet in 1992, this classic Burger raised-pilothouse motor yacht now boasts sleeker lines and grander proportions. The extension yielded a coveted semi-enclosed aft deck, an expansive boat deck, and a wealth of additional storage within the lazarette, enhancing both comfort and capability.

At 11 knots (1450 rpm), SHEPSL X achieves an impressive range of roughly 1,000 nautical miles while consuming only 38 gph in total, underscoring her credentials as a long-range cruiser with semi-displacement efficiency. Cherished by a succession of generous owners, she has continued to benefit from thoughtful upgrades under her current custodian—who, according to Burger Yachts, is uniquely the only Burger owner to have simultaneously held three substantial models at 75', 87', and 118'. Standing proud and immaculately kept, SHEPSL X blends luxury motor yacht refinement with flybridge versatility and superyacht presence, and she is ready for your private inspection.

Walkthrough

Boarding at the purposeful midship rail breaks to port or starboard, you can stride forward into the expansive Pilothouse or aft into the flowing Salon and Dining area. The Pilothouse reveals an unexpectedly generous command space with a full main helm, a three-person bench seat, and a staircase ascending to the Flybridge. Forward, steps drop to the engine room and crew domain: to port, an ensuite Captain’s cabin with a double berth; fully forward, an ensuite Crew cabin with two bunks; and within this service core, a separate washer and dryer stand ready for long-range self-sufficiency. Aft from the Pilothouse, a full-beam Galley unfolds, complemented to starboard by an intimate two-person dinette. Continuing aft, the yacht opens into the full-beam Salon, thoughtfully arranged with a discreet Day Head and a round dining table for six, while a marble-topped curved banquette to port elegantly delineates Dining from Lounge. In the Salon proper, port side seating invites with a vast off-white upholstered sofa, coffee table, and two swivel barrel chairs facing a commanding 70" TV, as stairs to starboard lead below to three serene cabins. Through sliding doors aft, the large enclosed Aft Deck beckons, its built-in seating and three teak chairs arrayed around an oval table, a 55" LG TV poised for entertainment, and convenient access to the original lazarette. Below, the aft Master suite spans the beam with a king-size berth and separate His and Hers Heads—port with a shower and starboard indulging with a Jacuzzi tub. Forward to port lies the VIP with an athwartships berth and its own head featuring a second Jacuzzi tub, while to starboard an ensuite twin lower-berth cabin includes a proper stall shower.

Pilothouse

Entered through sliding doors to port or starboard, the Pilothouse delivers superb volume with more than four feet between the helm wheel and the aft bench. Beneath the three-person leather helm seat are four drawers plus two full-size chart drawers; outboard, a thoughtful cabinet adds four more drawers with a cabinet above. Forward to port, outboard of the centerline helm, four ventilated storage cabinets, two drawers, and a dedicated cutout for the yacht’s printer/scanner keep command neatly organized. The sole gleams in varnished teak and holly. Aft lie steps to the Flybridge with a slim storage locker, while forward to starboard, steps descend to the engine room and crew cabins.

Pilothouse equipment

Command is precise and intuitive with a 32" varnished ship’s wheel ringed in stainless steel and a Simrad AP70 autopilot new in 2023.

Navigation and situational awareness are delivered via two 12" monitors for Garmin systems handling radar, charting, and cameras, as well as two Furuno RD30 data displays and two Garmin remote control panels with joysticks. Close-quarters confidence comes from Naiad bow thruster control, Naiad stabilizer controls with a dual pressure gauge, and responsive wiper/washer controls. A Garmin card reader and a 5" Ritchie magnetic compass sit at hand, while a Garmin VHF, a Wema seven-position tank level indicator, a Rule high-water alarm system, and two red overhead navigation lights round out a professional-grade suite.

Galley

Just aft and a gentle half-step down from the Pilothouse, the full-beam Galley feels fresh and contemporary, its planked vinyl sole underfoot, stainless steel appliances gleaming, high-gloss varnished cabinetry refined, and cool marble countertops anchoring the aesthetic. To starboard, a two-person L-shaped settee with a matching marble tabletop faces a 24" Insignia TV, with practical storage concealed beneath the seating.

Forward to port, built-in raised-panel cabinetry—three above and three below a marble shelf concealing interior drawers—beautifully houses the yacht’s stemware and dinner service, while the outboard glass-framed side-deck entry door welcomes aboard across inlaid Emperador dark marble tiles. Aft of the dining table, a curved cabinet with four raised-panel doors adds discreet stowage beneath a marble top set at a height that preserves easy circulation. To starboard, companion cabinetry mirrors the port treatment, and with a clever curved doorway, conceals the Day Head. Inside, the Day Head features a Headhunter toilet, a vanity with sink above and storage below, and artful decorative tile around a two-sided mirror that visually expands the space. The Emperador dark marble sole continues to the starboard entry door with its large glass pane. Next aft, a marble-topped two-door storage cabinet with two interior drawers precedes the elegantly curved stairway down to the accommodations, its raised-panel surround blending seamlessly into the joinery. This refined area enjoys two house-side windows to port and starboard with Roman shades, two digital A/C controls, a carpeted sole, fourteen overhead LED lights, and a softly finished vinyl overhead.

Salon

Open to the Dining area to amplify a grand visual sweep, the Salon invites relaxation with a six-cushion C-shaped upholstered sofa to port, complete with under-seat storage and attended by two round coffee tables. Centerline, two-panel sliding glass doors glide to the aft deck, while to starboard, two upholstered swivel chairs with ottomans gather around a round glass coffee table. Further outboard, joinery that echoes the dining theme frames an entertainment center: within the two forward cabinets reside a Sony audio/video receiver, the aft deck’s Direct TV receiver, and the Salon’s Direct TV DVR; above, a 70" Samsung Smart TV presides, with two storage cabinets below and two additional cabinets aft housing the Salon A/C air handler. The entire ensemble is finished with a matching marble top for visual continuity. The Salon enjoys a continuous carpeted sole, digital A/C controls, sixteen overhead LED lights, and an immersive five-channel stereo system overhead. Two fixed windows to port and two to starboard flood the space with natural light and can be shaded with Roman shades as desired, while above, twenty LED fixtures softly illuminate a refined vinyl overhead.

Aft deck

Spanning the full beam, the aft deck is enclosed by hard-side sliding windows and a five-panel curtain aft with a removable sunshade, creating an all-weather retreat. Built-in seating aft with removable cushions fronts a high-varnished oval dining table on a substantial stainless steel pedestal, complemented by three teak chairs arranged forward. Thanks to the hull extension, the aft deck depth stretches an impressive 13'6" from front to back. Appointments include a clean vinyl overhead, twelve overhead LED lights, upper and lower storage cabinets to port and starboard, a 55" LG TV, a wine cooler, dual clear digital A/C controls on both port and starboard, an accent carpet, a starboard teak-and-holly sole section, a starboard-side access door to the swim platform, double sliding glass doors to the Salon, and a washdown spigot with hose for effortless rinsing.
