CROSSED SABRE – 2006 Burger Trideck Motor Yacht

Our Take

CROSSED SABRE represents a sophisticated expression of large-yacht design and engineering—a 2006 Burger Trideck 144-foot motor yacht built with the volume, systems redundancy, and operational flexibility demanded by discerning owners and professional charter operations. At 499 gross tons with a 27.67-foot beam and 8.75-foot draft, this three-deck vessel delivers the spatial generosity and seakeeping capability of a much larger platform while remaining efficiently operated and strategically positioned in today's pre-owned superyacht market.

Current engine hours stand at 12,000 on each unit as of October 2025, supporting a 12-knot cruising speed and 14-knot maximum velocity. Fuel capacity of 14,176 gallons and a 3,032-gallon freshwater reserve enable extended blue-water operations. Propulsion redundancy is complemented by a Quantum Marine dual counter-rotating bow thruster, Quantum QC 1000 zero-speed stabilizers with ARC 3000 controls, and Jastram hydraulic power steering—systems that prioritize precision maneuvering and passenger comfort in varying sea states.

Power Generation & Auxiliary Systems

Two Northern Lights 99-kilowatt generators installed in 2020 supply 120/208 Vac three-phase 60 Hz power, with current running hours at 7,700 per unit as of January 2025 and fuel consumption of 22.5 liters per hour.

Built by Burger, a storied American yacht builder renowned for structural integrity and timeless hull design, this 144-foot (43-meter) vessel achieves the spatial presence and comfort of yachts significantly larger through meticulous interior planning, generous deckhead heights, and thoughtful arrangement of social and private spaces. With a beam of 27.67 feet and a draft of 8.75 feet, CROSSED SABRE displaces 499 gross tons and maintains a cruising speed of 12 knots with a maximum speed of 14 knots, powered by twin MTU 12V 4000 M90 diesel engines rated at 2,775 horsepower each.

Her award-winning design and ready-to-go status appeal equally to private owners seeking a fully equipped flagship and charter operators evaluating proven revenue-generating platforms. The vessel's current asking price of $16,900,000 reflects her substantial volume, recent capital expenditures, and position within the superyacht sector.
Layout and Deck Design
CROSSED SABRE's tri-deck configuration maximizes usable space and creates distinct social zones while maintaining the sense of privacy essential to large-party cruising. An elevator system provides seamless vertical circulation to all interior decks, eliminating the fatigue associated with frequent stair navigation aboard larger vessels and accommodating guests with mobility considerations. The sun deck represents the yacht's premier outdoor entertaining space, featuring a large teak-laid area aft with overhead awning and sail shade, freestanding sun loungers, and side tables ideal for relaxed socializing. Forward, a dedicated jacuzzi surrounded by sun pads creates a focal point for sunbathing and water recreation. A midship outdoor kitchen equipped with a wetbar, five barstools, grill, sink, Summit undercounter refrigerator, and Manitowoc ice maker facilitates alfresco dining and casual entertaining without requiring trips to the galley. The sun deck also incorporates a full gym area with treadmill, stationary bike, and free weights—a feature increasingly valued by owners and charter guests on extended voyages. Loose lounge seating arrangements and forward-facing observation chairs provide flexibility for various entertaining configurations. The bridge deck aft functions as an extension of the main entertaining space, featuring a large circular dining table accommodating ten to twelve guests, a portside lounge and dining nook with built-in banquette seating, and an aft-facing lounge grouping with loose chairs and tables. A starboard sunbed and service area with sink and refrigeration support both formal and informal dining. The bridge deck bow includes a Portuguese bridge seating nook with built-in settee and curved table, creating an intimate observation space. A centerline stairway connects the bow area to the foredeck. The main deck aft centers on a formal dining table with seating for eight, supplemented by built-in banquette seating and five loose dining chairs, with storage cabinetry and service counter positioned for efficient crew service. A fold-out balcony on the starboard side of the main salon extends the interior social space into the open air—a distinctive feature that enhances the sense of volume and connection to the sea. Dual staircases to port and starboard lead from the main deck aft to the swim platform, facilitating efficient guest movement and crew service. The main salon occupies the heart of the main deck, configured as an L-shaped sectional sofa arrangement with a central coffee table, four accent and lounge chairs, and side tables flanking the space. A 43-inch Samsung Frame television lowers electrically from the ceiling, and sliding glass doors open to the main deck aft. The formal dining area flows seamlessly from the salon, creating a unified entertaining space capable of accommodating larger groups.
Helm and Electronics
CROSSED SABRE's wheelhouse reflects the comprehensive navigation and communication systems essential to long-range cruising and charter operations. The vessel is equipped with dual Furuno GPS units (GP-170 models), providing redundancy in position-fixing and route planning. Navigation is supported by Furuno FAR2218BB/DC radar (2021) and a FAR 2107 radar system, offering both primary and backup surveillance in varying sea states and weather conditions. The autopilot system is managed by Sperry Marine hardware, while depth, log, and speed data derive from B&G H5000 instruments. A Furuno SC 702 satellite compass serves as backup to the primary Raytheon Anschütz Std 22NX gyrocompass, and a magnetic compass by C Plath provides mechanical redundancy. Chart plotting is managed through Transas and Nobeltec TimeZero software, enabling detailed passage planning and real-time position tracking. Navtex reception via Furuno MX-700 provides weather and navigational warnings, while AIS integration displays nearby vessel traffic. Communication systems include dual Furuno FM89005 VHF radios with DSC capability, a KVH satellite communication system, an Iridium Lars Tarane LT3100-S for global coverage, and a Pepwave cellular system for coastal operations. The vessel features Starlink high-speed internet, providing reliable connectivity for both crew operations and guest communications. A Panasonic telephone system and intercom network support internal communication throughout the vessel. The Boning vessel monitoring and alarm system, upgraded in 2025, provides continuous oversight of critical machinery, tank levels, and system status, with remote alerting capabilities. Hatteland monitors display integrated system data in the wheelhouse. Wind and weather instruments provide real-time meteorological data, supporting passage planning and operational decision-making. The comprehensive electronics suite positions CROSSED SABRE for safe, efficient operation across extended cruising grounds and charter itineraries.
Propulsion and Power
Twin MTU 12V 4000 M90 diesel engines, each rated at 2,775 horsepower, drive CROSSED SABRE through ZF BW 4650 reduction gearboxes to Michigan 5-blade Nibral propellers mounted on 5-inch shafts. At the time of the most recent engine-hour report (October 2025), both port and starboard main engines registered 12,000 operating hours, indicating moderate use relative to the vessel's age and reflecting consistent maintenance protocols. Auxiliary power is supplied by twin Northern Lights 99-kilowatt generators (120/208 Vac, three-phase, 60 Hz), installed in 2020 and showing 7,700 operating hours each as of early 2025. These gensets support the substantial electrical demands of air conditioning, galley equipment, water-making systems, and hotel load during extended anchoring or mooring. Generator fuel consumption is specified at 22.5 liters per hour, enabling calculation of endurance during periods of generator operation. An Atlas 75-kilowatt shore power converter provides connection to dockside electrical infrastructure, while the electrical system is supported by multiple battery banks: two 2x12-volt Deca Gel Tech 8G8D main engine starting batteries, two 2x12-volt Prevailer DF8D generator starting batteries, and three 2x12-volt Prevailer DF8D emergency batteries. A comprehensive battery replacement was completed in 2023, ensuring reliable cold-cranking capability and backup power for critical systems. The vessel's hydraulic infrastructure includes a Quincy air compressor and newly serviced hydraulic systems with titanium-core heat exchangers (2023). Propulsion efficiency is enhanced by a Quantum Marine dual counter-rotating bow thruster (QT-120) and Jastram hydraulic power steering, enabling responsive helm control across varying sea conditions.
Stabilization and Seakeeping
CROSSED SABRE is equipped with Quantum QC 1000 zero-speed stabilizers paired with ARC 3000 control systems, providing roll reduction at anchor and while underway. A comprehensive overhaul of the stabilizer system was completed in 2023 as part of scheduled five-year service, with the system upgraded to 9 square meters of active fin area. This combination of advanced stabilization technology and regular maintenance contributes to comfortable motion characteristics throughout the vessel, reducing guest fatigue during extended passages and enhancing the onboard
