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 has received new paint and varnish (2024).
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.
Key Features:
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.
Upper Saloon:
Galley: located forward and on the same level as the lower saloon.
Accommodations:
Located forward of the lower saloon/galley and down a few steps is the engine room entrance. At the bottom of the companionway is the washer and dryer aft of the crew lounge area. Going forward is the crew head to starboard and stall shower to port. Next forward are two lower v berths with closed closets and storage. The crew lounge area can also double as a 3rd crew bunk.
SERENITY sustained damage at the marina during Hurricane Ian. A 9’ storm surge carried the boat over a concrete dock, damaging some running gear, and she came down on the other side floating because of four watertight bulkheads and superior Burger construction, where most other boats sank. She is hauled out of the water and running gear, and below waterline repairs have been completed.
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 projectt.
