Northrop & Johnson has officially completed the donation process of the 25.3 metre Burger motor yacht Sirene. She had a last known asking price of $1,199,000.
The recipient of the yacht was the National Save the Sea Turtle Foundation based in Fort Lauderdale. Since 1987, the foundation has worked to provide educational programming, support sea turtle research globally and promote public awareness of Florida’s marine ecosystems.
Sirene was launched by the US shipyard in 1990 and built to a design by Don O’Keeffe. Her calm, neutral interiors are courtesy of Tim Borland and feature rare materials like bird’s eye maple.
This “beautifully maintained vessel” has received meticulous care over the years according to Northrop & Johnson. Her extensive refit in 2021 included “$400,000 in refurbishments,” according to her listing broker, Kristen Klein.
Her 110GT houses ample space for entertaining and lounging including a main saloon with plush seating and an alcove bar. The yacht offers accommodation for up to six guests and three members of crew. A master cabin features a centre-line, king-size bed and ample storage while the en suite contains both a shower and bath. All guest sleeping areas are located amidships on the lower deck and include updated linens and new wall coverings, ambient lighting and flooring in the bathrooms.
Her main deck aft has a large dining table with seating and easy access to the lower cockpit while elsewhere, her flybridge showcases additional covered dining courtesy of a large, built-in U-shaped table with seating.
Propulsion is powered by twin Detroit Diesel engines, able to deliver a cruising speed of 13 knots and a top speed of 16 knots.
The National Save the Sea Turtle Foundation runs a boat donation service in their work to support a national effort in protecting the United States marine environment and endangered sea turtles.
