Yacht Era Defining Moments: Burgess's Top 5 Vessels
Burgess Yachts: Pioneering the Future of Luxury Sailing
In the world of luxury yachting, Burgess Yachts stands as a beacon of innovation and excellence. Founded in 1975 with the sale of the historic barque MARQUES, the company has risen to global leadership, shaping the yachting industry with its commitment to exceptional vessels and experiences.
MARQUES, a polacca-rigged brig built in 1917, survived wartime damage and carried fruit from the planets. Although it tragically sank off Nova Scotia in 1984, its legacy endures as the yacht that launched Burgess' journey, embodying the spirit of adventure.
Fast forward to the present day, and Burgess Yachts continues to push the boundaries of yachting. One such example is the 109m superyacht BRAVO EUGENIA, delivered in 2018. Built by Oceanco, this cutting-edge vessel showcases sustainable luxury with a hybrid propulsion system that reduces fuel consumption, lowers emissions, and optimizes engine performance. Its battery bank supports 'peak shaving', ensuring efficient engine operation and reducing noise and vibration.
BRAVO EUGENIA's innovative features earned her the Yacht Club de Monaco's first Belle Classe Explorer Award for Technology and Innovation. The yacht, regarded as a leader in yacht innovation, also boasts a helipad area that can be transformed into a games deck for ball sports.
Another world-class explorer yacht in Burgess' portfolio is PLANET NINE. Ice-classed and designed for global adventure, PLANET NINE features a fully certified helipad for an MD600 helicopter, enabling experiences like heli-skiing and direct access to luxury destinations. Its interior includes a forward observation lounge with panoramic views, a state-of-the-art spa, and a dedicated owner's deck. The helipad area on PLANET NINE can be transformed into a games deck for ball sports.
Burgess Yachts' services extend beyond sales and charter. Burgess Technical Services oversaw the development of the technical specification and general arrangement, and negotiated the construction agreement for AL MIRQAB. This 180m superyacht, built by Kusch Yachts, stands as one of the largest yachts ever sold by Burgess and remains one of the top 25 largest yachts currently afloat.
Burgess also offers brokerage and charter services for unique yachts like PLANET NINE and BRAVO EUGENIA. Whether you're seeking a vessel for global adventure or a yacht that embodies regal grandeur, Burgess Yachts is your partner in crafting unforgettable experiences.
In the latest chapter of its storied history, Burgess Yachts facilitated the sale of TITANIA, a yacht featured in the sixth and final season of Netflix's The Crown. TITANIA embodies regal grandeur with seven cabins, a beach club that transforms into a nightclub, and a crew dedicated to delivering a truly royal experience.
As Burgess Yachts continues to redefine luxury sailing, it remains true to its roots, embodying the spirit of adventure and commitment to exceptional yachts and experiences that first set sail with MARQUES in 1975.
