“Braveheart”

Classic American Burger Yacht that has been improved upon over the years with hull and stateroom reconfigurations. Originally built in 1986 as a 86' Raised Pilot House with cockpit, a reverse Euro-transom was added in 1997 extending her to 92' and providing a majestic profile that epitomizes Yachtsman.

A unique opportunity to own this classic yacht through charter/lease program at very attractive terms.

Vessel Details

BRAVEHEART is a 92' Burger Raised Pilothouse Motoryacht. Originally built with four aft staterooms, she was modified in 1989 to two master staterooms with a third upper/lower berth stateroom aft. This arrangement has proven well suited for two couples or corporate entertainment with parity in accommodations. This arrangement could easily be converted back to the original four stateroom, 3 head, aft configuration as no plumbing or important wiring was changed. 

MASTERThe original master stateroom is all the way aft and features Birdseye maple wood (which is currently covered with upholstery), a king-size bed with under berth lighting, built-in settee and night stands, dresser, his/her wardrobes, TV and lighted vanity, The private full bath to port includes exquisite custom fixtures by Sherle Wagner, a full size tub/shower, mirrored ceiling and white tile flooring. SECOND MASTERThe second master stateroom (amidships) also features a king-size bed, desk, built-in settee and his/her baths, The head to port incudes a stall shower and vanity. The head to starboard includes a full tub/shower and vanity (shared by the third stateroom). This stateroom can be converted back to two twin bed staterooms or a queen and twin, or two queens.GUEST The guest stateroom to starboard includes a hanging locker, dresser and two single bunk berths and shares the starboard bath with the amidships master stateroom.CREW

Crew accommodations currently include, three berths, head and shower, plus crew lounge and easy access to the engine room. Captain's quarters are separate. Washer/dryer and additional drawer refrigeration is also in this crew area.

SALON/FORMAL DININGLeading up from the aft quarters, via a curved stairway with indirect lighting is the main salon. The joinery work is a high grade, raised panel design of red mahogany stained teak inlaid with Carpathian elm burl and accented with traditional colors. A roomy sofa is on the port side and two oversize easy chairs with ottoman are starboard. Plenty of room for additional seating/furniture. Outboard in the rear of the main saloon are bookcases and in the middle are wood framed full height glass panels and a door to the aft deck. Custom wooden blinds and drapes throughout. Located at the forward end of the salon and separated by the staircase to port and pop-up TV cabinet and bar to starboard, is the formal dining area. There is a beautiful matching Carpathian elm burl inlay table that comfortably seats (8) dinner guests. Handsome custom cabinets secure all formal china and crystal. Forward of the formal dining area is a powder room and the pilothouse. 

GALLEYJust forward of the pilothouse is the galley with granite countertops and upper cabinets that open from either side for easy access. Newer appliances throughout. The forward countertop is open facing the informal "Country Kitchen” dining area that seats up to eight (8). A special feature of the “Country Kitchen” is the Chilled wine cellar with hand carved honey teak trimmed glass doors & storage cabinets for silver & glassware with access from both sides of the cabinets above the countertop. Complimenting the raised pane honey teak joinery work in the "Country Kitchen” are cabinets and a table top inlaid with olive ash burl, similar to the main salon but lighter in color.

Broker's Comments

BRAVEHEART was extensively refitted in 1996/97 with all plans and specifications prepared by a former Burger Naval Architect. Upgrades include new aft deck/reverse Euro-transom which eliminated the cockpit and the boat (bridge) deck extension provides a more modern look than her age suggests.

BRAVEHEART is the last Burger yacht built under Henry Burgers watchful eye. She is also the last of the 81’-92’ series designed by Burger and the late J.B. Hargrave. The joinery work is still some of Burger’s finest creations. She is an easily driven semi-displacement hull design with four (4) watertight bulkheads, full keel protecting the propellers, and double bottom fuel tanks. To many, her flared bow is the one of the prettiest Burger hulls ever produced. Her hull design is hard to beat for her vintage and power.
