Serenity is a 78’ Burger flybridge cruiser. She resembles the classic style of the 1930’s Wall street commuters, but with all the amenities of a modern yacht. This is a rare Burger with a factory cockpit, not an add on, so propellers and rudders are in the proper location.

• She can be boarded from a floating dock from the swim platform and cockpit, or a midship from a boarding ladder.
• Once on the main deck there is easy access to the foredeck seating area and the trunk cabin sunning area (much safer than many yachts  because its about  4’ above the main deck). From the side deck the aft saloon can be entered from the wing doors, port and starboard, or the sliding pilothouse doors. There are stairs from the pilot house to the well equipped flybridge. 
• A few steps down and forward from the pilothouse is the lower saloon which can be used for dining.
• Next forward is the galley and crew quarters for two/three and engine room access and washer and dryer.
• Aft in the lower saloon down, using a gradual set of steps are the guests staterooms. The master stateroom is all the way aft with a centerline king berth with ensuite head. Forward on either side of the passage way are two over size twin bed guest staterooms with ensuite heads. The starboard guest stateroom  head has a second door to serve as a dayhead. The original rich walnut joiner work is still in good condition.

The TNT platform was broken off and lost with the tender and will not be replaced.The base for a new TNT lift or other tender lift system remains.

Propeller shafts have been straightened and reinstalled with new bearings. One bent strut has been straightened, bent rudders have been reinstalled, the damaged swim platform has been repaired, and both stabilizer actuators have been rebuilt, and new fins have been installed.

December 2023 update: Two-year-old hull, engine, and generator surveys are available. Engines and generators have been run for about 150 hours since the surveys without problems before the hurricane damage. A prior captain of SERENITY may be available to assist a buyer in completing this project.

April 2024: New Hull Paint Job & Varnish Underway 

The  23.8m / 78'1 custom Motor yacht 'Serenity was built by Burger. This luxury vessel's sophisticated exterior design and engineering are the work of Sparkman & Stephens. Previously named Electra (Silver Seas, & Harvest Moon). Her exterior is styled by the Sparkman & Stephens team who are also responsible for the entire engineering package.

Serenity withstood damage during Hurricane Ian. A 9' storm surge lifted the boat over a concrete dock, and it rolled off the dock and floated on the other side. Water came in both engine room air intakes, but the boat floated. Struts, rudders, propellers, stabilizers, and exhaust cowlings were damaged. The TNT platform was ripped off of its brackets under the original Burger swim platform. The boat has been hauled out of the water since January; all of the above damage has been repaired, a new phasor generator is being installed, and Serenity is getting a whole new paint and varnish job.

The boat was purchased in January 2022 after both transmissions were rebuilt and was run to Sanibel, Florida, without an issue. Prior to Hurricane Ian, the boat was used on the west coast of Florida without any problems. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a Burger motor yacht with a factory cockpit with all running gear rebuilt or replaced and stabilizer actuators rebuilt.
