Burgess 50: Our 10 most popular charter yachts

As Burgess turns 50 this year, we’re highlighting the people, places and yachts that have helped shape our story.

This month, we’re turning the spotlight on the charter yachts that have captured the hearts of our clients. From the most booked yachts in our fleet to standout performers in Asia, the Mediterranean and beyond, these are the boats that deliver time and time again. Some are long-standing legends, others are exciting new arrivals already making waves – all are standout examples of what makes a Burgess charter truly extraordinary.

TITANIA is one of the world's most iconic charter yachts, and for good reason. Her vast entertainment spaces, superlative accommodation, and state-of-the-art amenities (think sauna, massage room, beauty salon, gym, and cinema) have even earned her a place on the big screen.

Over the last few years, TITANIA's reputation has gone from strength to strength. She averages around 20 weeks of charter per year, while still allowing time for the owner's use and shipyard periods.

Used only privately until 2016, G3's credentials as a charter yacht were enhanced by a comprehensive refit under new ownership: from a stylish repaint, a new layout for the sun deck and main lounge, and the addition of a hugely popular beach club/gym with wet bar.

G3’s crew, who have been on board for several seasons, are trusted by guests to create extraordinary experiences – reflected in their impressive 59% booking rate across 2024 and 2025 and their consistent five-star ratings.

Unlike most yachts in her class, HEMISPHERE has been designed for diving and marine exploration, a feature that has delighted guests over the years. The owners have transformed HEMISPHERE into an incredible adventurer, augmenting the operation with a 16m sports fisher support boat that they use as a fishing dive platform.

‘HEMISPHERE’s diving capabilities are unmatched – she carries two PADI dive instructors, allowing guests to get certified while on board.’ Elina Vitola, Charter Manager

Leading the way in sustainable cruising, LAMMOUCHE stands out as the most progressive yacht in our charter fleet. She runs on second-generation biofuel, a major step forward in reducing environmental impact. This advanced fuel can cut CO2 emissions by up to 90 percent and particulate matter by up to 80 percent, without producing black smoke. It’s also non-toxic, biodegradable and odourless – making it better for the planet, her guests and the pristine waters she explores.

With a chef who’s been crafting unforgettable dining experiences on board for over 13 years, GALAXY is a shining example of consistency, creativity and crew dedication. Her avant-garde design creates a uniquely stylish atmosphere, and she’s part of a highly sought-after Benetti series.

'Our time on GALAXY was nothing short of exceptional, but what truly stood out was the food – Chef Gareth exceeded every expectation. From beach BBQs to multi-course tasting menus, every dish was as memorable as the setting. The care, creativity, and attention to detail were on par with any Michelin-starred restaurant. We came for the yacht, but we’ll come back for the food.' A Burgess charter client

Since joining our fleet on 2 February 2001, SILVER DREAM has earned her place as a true icon. With her striking silver and black profile, she is instantly recognisable wherever she sails. Known for sophisticated styling and an exceptional crew, SILVER DREAM continues to be a perennial favourite, delighting charter guests with timeless elegance and impeccable service.

ROYALE X perfectly blends sleek style, jaw-dropping performance, and unmatched comfort. Powered by three high-performance waterjets, she reaches a top speed of 38 knots – meaning you could effortlessly cruise from the picturesque port of Portofino to Monaco for lunch, then on to the glamorous streets of Saint-Tropez all in a single day.

Thanks to nine Seakeeper gyrostabilisers, she offers remarkable stability both at anchor and underway, letting you enjoy the breeze without a bump in sight. Her shallow draft of just 1.6m (5.9ft) opens up charming bays and hidden ports that remain inaccessible to many larger yachts, unlocking even more exclusive destinations for your voyage.

'OCTAVE is in a class of her own when it comes to chartering in Asia. She’s maintained to the highest standards and run by experienced Captain Emil, supported by a professional crew of seven, including a talented Thai chef who brings authentic flavours to life on board. With expansive outdoor decks, luxurious cabins and an impressive array of water toys, OCTAVE delivers a seamless blend of barefoot luxury and adventure.

'Uniquely flexible, she is available for shorter charters and explores some of South East Asia’s most beautiful cruising grounds, including Phuket, Singapore, Tioman, and the Anambas Islands.'

Fully refitted in 2024 and looking better than ever, MAESTRO's sleek appearance modern design, and functional features elevate every guest experience. From the spacious sun deck with large jacuzzi to the shaded dining area on the upper deck, she offers an incredible charter experience for every guest.

‘I was extremely impressed with all the attention to detail and finishing touches, from the crew to the art on board.’ Broker on board MAESTRO

‘The yacht was simply perfect, the food was delicious, and the crew were attentive and amazing. I highly recommend this yacht.’ Broker on board MAESTRO

The first in Heesen’s stunning new 57m series, SANTOSHA boasts eye-catching lines and exquisite styling from Omega Architects and Harrison Eidsgaard. Designed for both elegance and comfort, SANTOSHA captures attention wherever she goes.

Winner of both Superyacht Awards – Semi-displacement Motor Yachts 50m and above, and BOAT Design & Innovation award – one of the judges described SANTOSHA as a ‘prime boat’, praising her impressive 22.7-knot top speed, meticulously planned layout, and exceptional build quality – a true standout in the category.

The first build for owners who were experienced charterers, SANTOSHA is a culmination of everything they had learned over the last 20 years. Perfectly suiting their needs, one judge notes that ‘she does exactly what the owners wanted.’ The result? A serene, minimalist interior that is both comfortable and functional yet luxurious.

‘Launching REV OCEAN to the charter market, the largest yacht in the world, is a milestone not just for Burgess but for the entire yachting industry. This is more than a vessel – it’s a global platform for the most unique guest experiences filled with ocean discovery, marine conservation, and meaningful impact.

'By seamlessly integrating research with expeditions, it sets a new benchmark for how yachting can transform the guest experience, offering unmatched access to the rarest and most extraordinary opportunities.’ Ben Harwood, Senior Partner, Sales and Charter Director
