Owner Experience Review

Owners and captains describe the Explorer Motor YachtfromBURGER BOAT COMPANYas purpose-built for long‑range family cruising with a serious sportfishing focus. An owner who took delivery in 2017 immediately began ocean crossings and extended cruising, citing a full‑displacement steel hull with aluminum superstructure that runs at about 12 knots and tops near 12.4 knots. Reported range is approximately 4,000 nautical miles at around 9.5 knots, with a captain/owner noting, “We are currently in Tahiti and have put on about 1,000 nautical miles since being here,” underscoring real‑world endurance.

Onboard, the main deck is devoted to socializing with a saloon/bar/library layout, and the library can double as a theatre—an arrangement owners and crew praise for entertaining family and guests. The owner’s suite is placed on the bridge/upper deck to preserve the entire main deck for guests, and “the flybridge is a major favorite,” frequently used alongside the saloon for dining and gatherings. Notably, the interior and deck plan integrate luxury living with a large, dedicated fishing cockpit to satisfy passionate anglers without sacrificing communal spaces.

Maintenance and reliability notes emphasize robust, redundant systems: twin Caterpillar C18s (475 bhp) as delivered, roughly 9,790 US gallons of fuel, an oversize anchoring setup, a 100‑hp bow thruster, and genset redundancy—choices reflecting priorities for global passages. Owners reported the roughly two‑year build went smoothly, with no surprises. Publicly available long‑term owner data is limited for this one‑off, though no prominent failure reports were found in reviewed sources.

Pros and Cons

• True long‑range capability (~4,000 nm at ~9.5 kn) on a full‑displacement steel hull with aluminum superstructure.
• Socially oriented main deck (salon/bar/library with theatre option) and a flybridge that guests favor, plus a large dedicated fishing cockpit.
• Robust, redundancy‑focused engineering (twin CAT C18s, ~9,790 gal fuel, oversize anchoring, 100‑hp bow thruster, genset redundancy) and a smooth two‑year build.
• Modest speed envelope, with reported cruise around 12 knots and top near 12.4 knots.
• No main‑deck owner’s suite in the cited configuration, which may not suit buyers who prefer that arrangement.
• Limited public long‑term owner feedback due to the one‑off build and scarce forum reporting.
