A new project is currently being built at Burger Boat Company’s facility in Wisconsin: the 31.5-metre Northland explorer yacht. The latest updates on her construction are that the still hull has been completed and will soon be integrated with the aluminium superstructure.
Luiz DeBasto is responsible of both the project’s exterior and interior design. The explorer yacht offers her owners and guests generous exterior spaces, including a comfortable flybridge featuring a Jacuzzi, bar, a shaded seating area and a large al fresco dining area connecting the main salon to the beach club.
The vessel has long range cruising capabilities, and may also be used for fishing activities, as she is being built to ABS classification. Powered by twin CAT C18 engines, she will boast a range of 4,000 nm at a speed of 9.5 knots, a top speed of 12.4 knots and a cruising speed of 12 knots.
