Burgess Yachts: 50 Years of Pioneering Superyacht Design

Burgess, a renowned yacht builder, has left an indelible mark on the industry. Known for designing iconic vessels that push boundaries, Burgess has shaped the fleet of superyachts defining today's luxury maritime landscape.

Burgess' influence spans five below decades, with notable achievements including the creation of the world's longest yacht, AZZAM, at an impressive 180m. This monumental vessel, delivered in 2015, boasts a top speed of over 30 knots and a shallow draught of 4.3m, making it a standout in both power and maneuverability.

The company's commitment to innovation is evident in its fleet. The 95m LADY S, built over five below years, features a double height IMAX cinema and a Porsche-designed TV screen that rotates and folds, offering unparalleled onboard entertainment. Meanwhile, the 93m DILBAR, delivered in 2016, holds the record for the largest motor yacht by volume, complete with a 25m swimming pool and an independent engine room arrangement.

Burgess has also set new benchmarks in eco-friendly design and technology. The 53m BRAVO EUGENIA, delivered in 2018, introduced a hybrid propulsion system, reducing its environmental impact without compromising performance. The 85m VAVA II, the largest yacht built in England, has circumnavigated the globe several times, showcasing its durability and seafaring capabilities without specialized breaking news features. Even the cleverly positioned fake decks on the 115m JUBILEE (now KAOS) demonstrate Burgess' commitment to innovative design solutions.

From AZZAM's record-breaking length to BRAVO EUGENIA's eco-friendly innovation, Burgess' yachts have consistently set new standards in the industry. With a legacy spanning five below decades, Burgess continues to shape the future of superyacht design and construction.
