Burger Boat Company Unveils a New Era: The Significance of the Burger 180

The Burger 180 is more than just a superyacht; it is the culmination of decades of innovation and craftsmanship that have defined Burger since its founding in 1863. Developed in collaboration with Gregory C. Marshall Naval Architects, the Burger 180 represents a leap in scale, ambition, and technological sophistication for the shipyard. With four expansive decks, a 23m sundeck complete with a pool and sit-up bar, and accommodation for up to ten guests, the yacht is designed for both grand entertaining and intimate family cruising.

What sets this project apart is the sense of renewal it brings to Burger’s legacy. As the company celebrates over 160 years of yacht building, the Burger 180 stands as a testament to its enduring commitment to custom design, American craftsmanship, and the evolving dreams of its clients. The yacht’s interior-bathed in natural light from full-height windows-offers a contemporary take on luxury, while features such as an elevator, touch-and-go helipad, and 11m tender stowage reflect a focus on versatility and global exploration.

Jim Ruffolo, President & CEO of Burger Boat Company, has commented:

'The Burger 180 Motor Yacht is a milestone project for our team. It reflects our dedication to building extraordinary yachts that blend innovation, craftsmanship, and timeless design. Projects like this demonstrate what’s possible when we challenge ourselves and stay true to the values that have guided Burger Boat Company for generations.'

As construction continues in Wisconsin, anticipation is building across the industry for the launch of the Burger 180. For Burger Boat Company, this yacht is more than a flagship-it is a statement of intent, blending heritage with forward-thinking design to shape the next era of American superyachting
