ToKalon is a 100% custom built Yacht from conception to completion. Still owned by her original owners, in 2006 her owners decided to build a custom yacht from scratch. They had extremely specific requirements which could not be meet by production yacht manufactures. So the yacht had to be 100% custom. Several custom yacht manufactures were entertained around the world, but in the end they decided to go with Burger yachts. The criteria was to build a yacht with the quality and safety features of a 200’+ yacht in a body of no longer than 101’4”. Additional criteria was to have tops speeds close to 30 knots, range at cruise speed (22+ Kn) of 700 nautical miles, draft of approximately 5.5’ at full load, world travel capability and electrical systems to be comparable, and built to ABS class.

To complete this challenging task Cor D. Rover was brought in for the styling and design from the waterline up and Donald L. Blount and Associates was contracted for naval architecture for the waterline down. Cor D Rover is a well-known Dutch designer that creates timeless designs for large yachts. Donald L. Blount and Associates is known for their integrated systems-hull shapes, propulsion sections, and achieving low weight targets. Donald Blount also was the head of the U.S. Navy design team for everything up to 200’. Burger Yachts was tasked with the challenge of producing an elegant lightweight interior while maintaining their traditional interior standards. Needless to say the owner’s criteria made for an extremely challenging project. In order to achieve their criteria weight control was essential. One of contributing elements used by Burger yachts to eliminate excess weight was the use of Alustar aluminum alloy. This aluminum alloy is lighter and stronger than traditional marine alloys. Additionally the hull design was tank tested at the University of Michigan to ensure the hull design was optimal prior to construction.

Additionally the owners wanted strict oversight of the project. They hired Dean Vaughn who is an experienced yacht manager and engineer. Dean moved his family and lived in Manitowoc, WI (location of Burger plant) until launch and followed up with the boat until work was completed several weeks later. In addition to Dean’s oversight the owners Captain who is still aboard the vessel was on site once a month during construction and full time for the last three months before delivery. This provided for the highest level of quality control possible.

Since ToKalon’s departure from the Burger plant in October 2008 the quality control of the construction has been continued in her maintenance. She receives an annual ABS safety inspection as well as completed her 5 year and 10 year ABS class survey inspections. These inspections have maintained her to ABS class since new. Her last ABS survey was completed in the summer of 2018

As you walk up to ToKalon you’re struck with her size, stature, and timeless design. Boarding her aft deck you’re taken by her beautiful teak decks and large round teak table with seating for 8. You have access around the entire vessel via her side deck walk ways. This allows owners, guest, and crew to navigate around the exterior decks of the vessel freely without accessing the salon.
