~MiSCHKA~ ex SEEADLER ex HALUA was built at the Burger Boat Company in Manitowoc, Wisconsin in 1966, one of the very best aluminum yacht builders in the world, especially then. Sparkman & Stephens yacht designers were in their prime, designing for the Titans of that era. The build pedigree of this yacht is stellar! Every piece of equipment and furniture below deck was removed and installed new from 2014 to 2016!

Between 2014 and 2016 the vessel was rebuilt at Lauderdale Marine Center in Ft. Lauderdale She was completely gutted/sandblasted to bare aluminum, surveyed; about 30% of the tanks and bottom were re-plated. Awlgrip/Awlcraft paint systems were applied throughout. Every piece of equipment inside the yacht was replaced with top-of-the-line products. The deck house was removed and was artfully redesigned to a flush deck house center and aft cockpit profile above and at her beautiful sheer line using sections of the original S&S Burger structures. The interior configuration was transformed into an expansive, wide-open, light-bathed, 2 bed/2 ensuite bath modern bamboo, beach house cruising villa (3rd stateroom option). She can reach anywhere there is 5’6” of water with the centerboard up (15' with centerboard down) and 63’ of air draft (Bahamas & ICW Friendly).

~MiSCHKA~ spent the next 7 years after her rebuild in the Exumas with her owner loving living aboard, mostly off the grid. She was chock-a-block with toys, family and friends. The owners are building their Bahama dream house now with more kids on the way. She has been and could serve again as a sucessful family world cruising yacht. 

The time has come for the sellers to secure a new costodian..

~Mischka~ does need exterior cosmetic & deck work. As she is, you can sail away. Mechanically, she has 

523 original engine hours  The interior is  an open plan,French Beach House had  light use, built new 2014 - 2016. Currently in very nice  condition.

~MiSCHKA~ is not for every sailing family but she is a thoroughly transformed modern classic for visionary adventurers looking for a big, bold and distinctive yacht that can sail you and yours to almost endless waters .

And she's a MODERN Sparkman & Stephens BURGER ~~

~MiSCHKA~ has an impeccable build pedigree! She was REBUILT between 2014 and 2016 using the finest equipment and materials available. ~MiSCHKA~ is a classic yacht with thoroughly modern equipment, materials and great contemporary styling.

She will need some attention to her decks, need bottom painted and some interior detailing. This being said, where can you find a pedigreed 70'+ sailing yacht with all this new equipment and a thoroughly fresh modern interior for under $500,000 USD!

This liveaboard yacht broker who has logged over 40,000 sea miles was skeptical at first, until I stepped aboard and realized how big and beautiful and reliable she is, and what a completely cool interior with all this new stuff! She will make such a fantastic long range liveaboard cruising yacht that can tuck into many anchorages that many 50'ers cannot!

~MiSCHKA~ appeals to the gutsy, experienced sailor that has no intention of being tied to a dock (or does, and wants to do it big) and is looking for big adventures. Take a deeper dive into these specifications, then please equire further if ~MisSCHKA~ turns you on. Thx. Enjoy ~~
