SIMARON — 85' Burger Boat Company Motor Yacht for Sale

SIMARON is a 1999 Burger 85, aluminum-hulled, built in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, by a yard that has been producing yachts since 1863 and whose name still means something specific in American yachting. She has had one owner from new, bought after that owner went looking at the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show in 1996 and chose Burger for the build quality. That single ownership history matters because it indicates this boat was maintained for long-term use rather than for resale, and the 2024 to 2025 refit reflects that mindset. Just over one million dollars went into the work, completed by Yacht Assist with a one-year warranty on all refit systems, and the centerpiece was a zero-time rebuild of the twin MTU 12V 2000 main engines carrying a one-year MTU warranty of their own. The 30kW Kilopak generators were rebuilt, electronics and electrical systems were updated, and the flybridge was rebuilt as a fully equipped galley and entertainment space.

The design pedigree is classic American: naval architecture and exterior styling by Don O'Keeffe, interior by Douglas Richey, and Burger's own flush-deck motor yacht execution underneath. That combination produces a boat with the higher freeboard and taller interior volumes of a more modern design, without losing the proportions that make older Burgers timeless on the water. Accommodations cover three guest cabins, with separate crew quarters for three in two cabins with an en suite head. At 85 feet (25.9m) length overall, 22-foot (6.6m) beam, 6-foot (1.8m) draft, and an aluminum hull, she carries serious offshore credentials in a package that fits most U.S. marinas without the slip headaches of a 100-foot-plus boat.

Twin MTU 12V 2000 mains in zero-time condition push her to 23 knots, which is strong performance for an 85-footer and reflects the weight savings of aluminum construction done properly. For a buyer comparing this listing against new 85-to-90-foot production boats in the same general price range, the proposition is specific: an American-built yacht from one of the last serious American yards, with a mechanically fresh drivetrain under warranty, a single careful ownership history, and a just-completed refit that addresses the systems most likely to give a used boat trouble. SIMARON is currently located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
