Walkthrough - Overview

Overview

Now available on the golden anniversary of her launching, AQUILA JOVIS is a classic raised pilothouse Burger motor yacht. Designed by noted marine architect, Weston Farmer, she epitomizes the beauty, elegance and the blue-water seaworthiness that have made Burger yachts legendary.

Where most vessels of her size are considered large boats, Burgers of her era are more justifiably considered small ships. This vessel was the first Burger owned by a celebrated Palm Beach yachtsman who sailed her to Alaska and back. (The logs of that epic voyage are still onboard.) A later owner took her to the headwaters of the Mississippi.

Her Cummins T-12 naturally aspirated commercial diesels are perfectly matched for her mass (109 tons) and semi-planning hull design. Her 5040-gallon fuel capacity give this vessel trans-Atlantic range. Unusual for vessels of her era, her original owner specified commercial-grade engines designed for tugboats (or yard switcher locomotives). They are believed to have been rebuilt once (after the Alaska voyage). Hours since that time are estimated to be less than 4000. Current owner reports no measurable oil usage. Total hours are considered to be barely past break-in when compared to their commercial counterparts.

Walk Through

Entering the yacht from the port or starboard boarding gates, you walk forward to the Pilot House, accessed from either side through exterior solid sliding doors with bi-fold screen doors on the interior.

Proceeding aft from the pilot house, you pass the day head and enter the spacious main salon furnished with a large, leather sofa and occasional chair with cocktail table on the port side and an entertainment cabinet with TV on a hide-away lift to starboard. The aft bulkhead features an oversized window and a door on the starboard side which leads to the equally large, enclosed, air-conditioned aft deck with large built-in sofa all the way aft and 4 chairs and a love seat surrounding a teak table. The wide swim platform is accessed by a broad straight staircase on the starboard side.

Returning to the full beam pilot house, a large built-in navigation table on the aft bulkhead is served by a 3-axis adjustable Captain’s chair on rails so that it can face forward to serve the control console. The pilothouse is paneled in teak with plenty of built-in drawers and chart storage. Forward is the full galley, the entrance to the crew’s quarters, and the elegant formal dining salon for six which provides ample drawer storage for China and cutlery.

The Flybridge is accessed by a staircase in the pilothouse on the starboard side. The Flybridge helm has complete steering with full controls and navigational equipment, two helm chairs with a bench seat, a mast in the center, then a wet bar and Jenn-Air grill. This is all surrounded by an exceptionally large u-shaped seating area extending down the port side and across the entire beam. Behind this seating is the davit and tender.

Accommodations

AQUILA JOVIS sleeps 6 owners/guests in three separate staterooms, each with its own private head and shower. The full beam master stateroom is all the way aft and features a king-size, forward-facing berth on the center line. A large head and stall shower is forward on the starboard side along with twin sinks. Two guest staterooms are forward, one with a queen berth and the other twin berths, each with ensuite heads & shower. Forward of the master, a companionway with a linen closet and concealed Miele washer and dryer connects to the guest staterooms. The crew's quarters are all the way forward in the yacht and include a private Captain’s berth, two crew berths, and one head and shower.

Pilothouse

The Pilothouse is amidship and raised just above the main deck for better visibility. There are two side doors with bi-fold screens that lead to the full walk around teak side decks. The wood paneling is teak and features overhead flush mount electronics as well as the larger electronics mounted to the helm surface. Highlights include full engine gauges, single-lever Micro-Commander controls for the engines, a large classic teak and stainless-steel ship’s wheel, bow thruster control, and a jog steering control. The front windows have three large wipers for visibility. A new exterior windshield cover provides protection when in port.

Flybridge & Boat Deck

The Flybridge is accessed from the pilothouse on the starboard side via a staircase. The Flybridge helm is fully equipped to manage the yacht with all navigation equipment and controls. In the center of the bridge is the radar and electronics mast which is hinged and can be lowered if required for clearance. Forward of the masts are two helm chairs and port and starboard bench seats with storage. Starboard of the mast is a built-in cabinet that houses a top-accessed Jennaire grill with sink and water, and plenty of storage. Further aft is a large U-shaped seating area which has abundant storage beneath. The boat deck is aft and features a low-profile Marquip davit, chocks, and a hard bottom Nautica inflatable dinghy with 50 hp Honda outboard.

Vessel is equipped with port and starboard wing control stations, including joystick rudder controls, bow thruster joysticks, throttles (2017) and emergency engine shut offs.

Salesman’s comments:

I brokered this vessel in 2013 to the current owners, who lived aboard until recently. He is a tech entrepreneur and former Naval Aviator and lifelong boater; she is a retired RN. They homeported in Baltimore and cruised the Chesapeake for several years before returning to Jupiter, Florida in 2016. Through these years the vessel has undergone a continuous process of restoration and upgrades. New exterior Awlgrip paint and brightwork was completed in 2020.

Work is still underway with refresh of the galley and crew quarters in progress. Considerable work may be required by the new owner including air conditioning systems and window resetting, exterior teak deck restoration, and new carpets/soft goods.

She is currently berthed in Stuart, Florida adjacent to our offices, fuel tanks are nearly topped off.

AQUILA JOVIS is an exceptional example of an exceptional class of yachts. For a small fraction of the cost of a new 80’+ yacht she can be purchased and restored to Bristol condition and ready for her next 50 years of voyaging. She will take her new owners to places today’s new boats cannot reach, in safety and comfort they cannot match, and in an elegant style that (unfortunately) no longer exists anywhere else.
