DREAM CATCHER - BURGER BOAT COMPANY FOR SALE

Conceived by naval architect Don O’Keefe and styled by Burger, Dream Catcher is a 108’ (32.92m) aluminum sportfishing motor yacht that welcomes six guests in three en-suite staterooms, with accommodations for up to five crew in three cabins. Built to ABS standards, she blends the performance of a tournament sportfish with the grace of a luxury motor yacht. Her sleek interior received a significant refresh in 2014, showcasing satin-finished teak, wraparound windows, a wet bar, and an entertainment suite within a generous main salon; just forward, a dedicated dining area seats six in comfort. The current owner completed additional updates and upgrades in 2019, elevating her already refined presentation.

Purpose-built for serious angling, Dream Catcher’s teak cockpit is fully outfitted with a centerline fighting chair, rod storage locker, a transom box plumbed as a livewell, an in-deck fish box, ample freezers, and a transom door with a swim ladder—everything required for offshore pursuits. With a shallow draft of just 5.83’ (1.78m), she slips easily into Bahamian waters and skinny anchorages, expanding the horizons of any bluewater itinerary.

Power comes from twin MTU 12V400 M90 engines delivering 2,735 hp each, providing an effortless 24-knot cruising speed and up to 28 knots at the top end. A fuel capacity of 8,025 gallons supports long-range exploration, positioning her as a versatile sportfisher and long-range motor yacht in equal measure. A comprehensive, all-new Garmin electronics suite—including wing stations—has been installed with an investment of over $300k, enhancing navigation, fishing capability, and helm confidence.

Part of a select cadre of high-quality, American-built motoryacht-style sportfishers, Dream Catcher is a rare find: a superyacht-level Sportfishing Yacht with the speed to run, the range to roam, and the elegance to entertain. Maintained in excellent condition, she is turnkey and ready to travel anywhere, offering the poise of a luxury yacht, the utility of a fishing yacht, and the spirit of a true bluewater cruiser.

Accommodations

Step into Dream Catcher’s main salon and the abundance of satin-finished teak joinery and exquisite craftsmanship immediately set a refined tone. The main salon, dining area, and galley share a single level wrapped in 360‑degree windows, creating a bright, open ambiance throughout. Below, a full‑beam master stateroom with ensuite bath is complemented forward by two identical guest staterooms, each ensuite with side‑by‑side single berths. Continuing forward are two more identical ensuite accommodations with upper and lower berths that flex between guests and crew. From the salon staircase, the enclosed pilothouse opens to the main helm and skylounge, with a crew area where couches convert to bunks and a complete head with shower. Just aft, the upper deck mezzanine invites relaxation with ample seating. The salon underwent a transformative 2014 refit by Michael Rybovich and Sons, gaining a forward dining area, additional storage, and an updated entertainment zone, while all soft goods, headliner, and lighting were renewed. Double entry doors reveal a starboard wet bar opposite a portside entertainment area; forward, two sofas lift to reveal generous storage, paired with two occasional chairs. Centerline at the forward end of the salon, the beveled glass dining table comfortably seats six, with the aft face of the galley island storing crystal and flatware. Oversized windows flood the space with natural light, while Roman shades provide privacy, including a shade to separate galley and salon when desired. Port and starboard deck doors offer swift egress, and a beautiful teak bridge staircase links to both the pilothouse and exterior deck. The galley, just forward of the salon, delivers modern convenience with appliances built‑in or concealed behind teak, its granite countertop upgraded in 2014 and flowing seamlessly throughout. Large side and forward windows keep the space bright, and storage is abundant, with shelf and pull‑out solutions plus two in‑counter dumbwaiters flanking the sink; the sole is high‑gloss teak and holly. The full‑beam master stateroom and ensuite head were comprehensively refit in 2014, including all soft goods, headliner, and overhead lighting. The master bath was reimagined as his‑and‑hers, divided by a large marble shower with glass doors and beveled mirrors. Amidships, the master features a king‑size berth, with portlights and light finishes amplifying volume; an entertainment center, a generous cedar‑lined walk‑in closet, extensive storage, and a built‑in safe complete the suite. Just forward, port and starboard guest staterooms mirror each other with twin berths separated by a vanity/desk and stool, each bright and airy with large cedar‑lined hanging lockers, entertainment areas, and ensuite heads. Further forward, two additional identical guest staterooms offer upper/lower berths, with smart storage, cedar‑lined lockers, entertainment centers, and ensuite heads, all bathed in natural light. The enclosed pilothouse is accessed via an internal teak staircase from the salon or a ladder from the mezzanine deck. The centerline helm commands a panoramic 360‑degree view, with a portside nav station and extensive storage. Just aft, two couches convert for crew berthing, and a separate head with shower serves the skylounge area. A teak cocktail table expands as needed, and a Uline refrigerator stands ready; all countertops have been recently upgraded. Aft of the pilothouse, the deck offers generous seating with port and starboard wing stations, ladder access to the lower mezzanine, a large double‑door freezer, and a ladder to the flybridge. Above, the flybridge sits directly over the enclosed pilothouse, delivering exceptional sightlines in all directions. The helm duplicates lower‑helm functionality with full controls and navigation. The integrated mast is hinged to reduce overall clearance for bridges or maintenance, and a large forward locker provides substantial storage.
