About Burger
Burger Boat Company was founded at Manitowoc, Wisconsin, in 1863 by Henry B. Burger Sr., which makes it the oldest yacht builder in the United States still in business. It was bought in 1993 by Jim Ruffolo and David Ross and remains privately held, employing around 350 people and delivering an average of three yachts a year.
Burgers are custom, one at a time, and almost always metal: welded aluminum since the 1950s. Of roughly 500 built, about 250 are still in service, which tells you most of what you need to know about how they are put together. On the brokerage market they are valued on refit history rather than year: a well-kept 1990s Burger can be a better boat than something twenty years newer in fiberglass.
What we know about Burger
Burger are the gold standard of classic American custom yacht building. Founded in 1863 at Manitowoc in Wisconsin, one of the oldest shipyards in the world, and revered for craftsmanship, for structural longevity, and for bespoke aluminium engineering.
What the yard is legendary for is the part of a boat nobody photographs. Flawless wire runs, electrical systems that were engineered rather than assembled, and joinery of a standard almost nobody is still producing. The industry puts it down to the apprenticeship system Burger has kept going in Wisconsin for generations, and it is hard to argue with the boats.
For a buyer that is not nostalgia, it is the whole case for one. On a thirty or forty year old yacht the question that decides the next decade is whether the systems behind the panels were done properly in the first place. On a Burger they generally were, and that is worth more than anything on the specification sheet.
