Overview

SILVER SEAS is a 107-foot Burger Motor Yacht—an American aluminum classic that has undergone an extraordinary multi-year refit and renewal, emerging as a comprehensively refreshed and mechanically renewed expression of Burger’s enduring craftsmanship. Built in 1998 by Burger Boat Company and designed by Don O’Keeffe, she was commissioned by an experienced yachtsman as his second Burger, a testament to the brand’s reputation for quality and longevity. Throughout her life, SILVER SEAS has benefited from knowledgeable ownership that valued pedigree aluminum construction and disciplined stewardship.

Under her most recent ownership she received an uncompromising restoration that reached far beyond cosmetic updates, addressing machinery, onboard systems, and overall operational integrity. The result preserves her timeless Burger profile while delivering renewed mechanical confidence and reliability. Presenting the hallmarks of a classic Don O’Keeffe design, she offers a four-stateroom layout with a full-beam primary, embodies the charisma of a true personality yacht with a timeless Palm Beach presence, and is powered by MTU engines showing only 500 hours, while a large country kitchen creates a welcoming heart of the yacht that is perfect for entertaining.

Refit

Far more than a cosmetic refresh, SILVER SEAS has undergone a comprehensive multi-year restoration that elevated her exterior finishes, mechanical systems, and interior spaces. The work encompassed complete hull re-fairing prior to repainting, a full hull paint completed in 2024 with complementary superstructure refinishing, and the removal and professional re-bedding of all exterior windows. Below the surface, her main engines and transmissions were overhauled, accompanied by extensive servicing and renewal of major mechanical and onboard systems. Comfort and quiet were further enhanced through the renewal of air-conditioning ducting and air handlers and upgraded insulation. Interior updates include tasteful tile installation in select areas, a thorough renewal of interior varnish across cabinetry and joinery, and the re-chroming of hardware and fixtures. Her navigation and situational awareness were modernized with a refreshed electronics suite that includes FLIR night vision. The result is a Burger motor yacht that reflects disciplined stewardship and presents today with a high level of mechanical readiness and cosmetic refinement while preserving the timeless design and craftsmanship for which Burger is respected.

Mechanical updates

Power is provided by twin MTU 16V2000 engines rated at 1,800 HP each. The engines now reflect approximately 500 hours since major overhaul, effectively resetting their mechanical life cycle. These in-frame rebuilds included new crankshaft components, bearings, cylinders, and related systems, work comparable in scope to factory remanufacture standards. The transmissions were rebuilt, and the engine mounts were replaced.
