Burger Flush Deck for sale in Lantana, Florida United States of America

It is rare that one finds a classic yacht in as nice condition as this 1974, 67’ houseboat Burger. Built originally as J-MAR and then renamed KATERINA, she was leased from a charity by her present owner in 2014 and purchased outright by him in 2017. Now called MASON’S CANDY, she has had excellent care and many upgrades during the last eight years. Her layout, in combination with her very good condition, makes her a natural choice for anyone wanting the attributes of a large yacht in the size of a yacht that can be handled by an owner operator or with one or two crew.

MASON’S CANDY is for those clients who understand and appreciate the attributes of a quality built, pedigree yacht that has had the benefit of being owned by a knowledgeable and experienced yachtsman. She is now for sale because the owner and his family can no longer use her as they have done for eight years: to cruise from Florida back and forth to the Bahamas three times, and to Nantucket and back twice. Realistic seller who wants his yacht sold sooner rather than later.
