ABOUT PATRIOT
72' of gleaming brass and polished mahogany, Patriot is a magnificent example of a custom mid-century motor yacht. Patriot was the first ever yacht built in what became the “Sis W” style for the Walgreen family by the shipwrights at Burger Boat Company - American luxury yacht manufacturers since 1863.
With her spacious staterooms and lounge areas above and below decks, Patriot is a perfect venue for cruising groups of up to 12 guests, or for a private dockside reception for up to 30 guests. Step aboard and step back in time.
Patriot is overseen by NAUTISTE to offer luxury dining experiences aboard. For the 2023 season, NAUTISTE has partnered with Michelin-star chef/sommelier Troy Knapp (CURATED Catering) to offer masterfully presented wine and cuisine experiences for each yacht in its fleet.
