CHANTICLEER Yacht for Sale

CHANTICLEER is one of the Grand Dames of yachting. Originally built for Ogden Phipps and named BUCKPASSER after one of his more famous thoroughbreds, she was designed by Jack Hargrave and, at the time, was the largest vessel built by Burger, and the first Burger with a helipad.

She was purchased by singer, actress and philanthropist Frances Langford in 1986. Ms. Langford was a passionate yachtswoman, and it was she who added the cockpit to facilitate her love of fishing. CHANTICLEER was enjoyed by Ms. Langford, friends, family and dignitaries until the time of her passing in 2005. Since that time she has had three owners, each devoted to preserving the legacy through obsession to preventative maintenance, upgrades and attention to detail.

The time has come for a new chapter as her current owners have other matters to attend. Their desire is that the next owners not only appreciate the overall quality of CHANTICLEER, but also value her place in yachting's history.

Chanticleer, yacht made famous by frances langford, back in familiar waters.

By Curt Devine

For decades, Treasure Coast residents could spot renowned singer/actress Frances Langford cruising on her vintage 108-foot yacht, the Chanticleer, in local waters.

While the yacht has changed hands twice since Langford passed away in 2005, it now rests in Florida again at the Palm Harbor Marina in West Palm Beach. And it is sporting a new paint job and up-to-date renovations.

Local residents have a chance next month to see the yacht that became synonymous with the beloved local icon.

The Frances Langford estate first sold the Chanticleer in 2006 to Jon Couch, a Washington businessman. Then when current owner Marty Sutter saw that the yacht was for sale again in 2007, he knew he had to have it.

"The Chanticleer combines classic beauty and history," he said. "It's a pedigree of yachts."

Sutter, the 56-year-old co-founder and managing director of health care venture capital firm Essex Woodlands Health Ventures, said he and his wife, Lisa, had long admired the yacht since they first saw it near Lake Huron in the late 1990s.

He said it caught his attention as a Burger cockpit motor yacht, noting that most enthusiasts consider the Burger Boat Co. the highest-quality yacht manufacturer.

Adding to its uniqueness, the Chanticleer was the first Burger yacht to have a helipad built on its deck, but Sutter joked that Langford converted this into a dining area and used the boat's extra space for fishing.

Sutter and his wife live in Texas but spend their winters vacationing on the yacht in the Caribbean, where they have villas in the British Virgin Islands. Once, they spent six weeks on the yacht touring the eastern Caribbean.

Inside, the Chanticleer resembles a five-star hotel, having an interior made of rare rosewood, sapele and mahogany. Although it is worth about $5 million, Sutter said the history makes it more valuable.

The yacht was originally built in 1973 for Ogden Phipps, a stockbroker known for philanthropy and thoroughbred horse racing. Frances Langford bought it in the 1980s.

To honor the history, Sutter and his wife preserved the VIP stateroom with Langford's movie posters and memorabilia.

Although Sutter does not understand why the yacht was named Chanticleer, which translates to "sing clear" in French, he said he could never change it.

"It would be like renaming your grandmother," he said. "This boat just has so much character."

ON DISPLAY IN KEY LARGO

The Chanticleer will be displayed from Dec. 1-4 in Key Largo at Ocean Reef Club's 17th annual Vintage Weekend, an event that celebrates vintage cars, planes and boats. The event is open to the public. More information is available at www.oceanreef.com/Happenings-and-Events/Vintage-Weekend-324.html

Spotted this classic work of Burger craftsmenship in Jensen Beach, Florida. "Chanticleer" was formerly owned by Ralph Evinrude (outboard motor fame). Currently, it his owned by his widow... Ms. Francis Langford, who resides nearby the marina. According to sources, the boat is used by Francis on a regular basis to go (of all things) fishing! It doesn't seem to be any worse for the wear. It is impeccably maintained. I was excited to see this yacht. Thought you might enjoy it too...

Burger vs. Defoe The pictures are clearly of the Chanticleer. If she is a Burger, which I know was the brand/mfgr of the most recent Chanticleer, then she bears a striking resemblance to the original Chanticleer, as owned by Ralph Evinrude and Francis Langford from the time of her launch, I believe. I have seen posts indicating the current Chanticleer is either 98, 110, or 118 feet. Be that as it may, I know for a fact that the original boat was 118' feet because I was a deck hand on one of her four (4) sisterships, produced by Defoe Ship Yards of Bay City Michigan. Pictures are posted on the Defow web site, which is not very active, as the senior most Defoe just passed on in 2005. Defoe built many ships for the US Navy and the Cruisemaster line was to fill in slack capacity at the yard, after WWII. So, the original Chanticleer was a 118' 1947 or so Defoe "Cruisemaster" with four General Motors 6-71N Diesels, mounted 2 in-line on a side. I served on the sistership Natoya and both boats were active in the Great Lakes. The Chanticleer spent the summers in the "North Channel", while the Natoya was usually in N. Lake Huron, Lk Superior, or Lk. Michigan and once on a while in the N. Channel. She was berthed in Cheboygan, MI or achored off the Mertaugh Boat Works in Hessel, MI. The Natoya owner was Harold DuCharme of Grosse Pte. MI, now deceased. The Natoya was sold and sailed to Florida in the mid-late 1960's and has a very brief cameo shot in a James Bond movie. The reason for anchoring off Mertaugh's in Hessel was that the Captain, James Mertaugh, was a brother to the owner of Mertaugh's. Jim passed on in AZ in the 1990's. The original Chantilcleer was sold in the late 1990's to an east coast boat yard and is up on the hard somewhere on the E. Coast. There are pictures posted on a web site and she is for sale. But the pictures will show much corrosion around her stabilizers forward. She was seen headed out East by the owner of the Wicked Witch, Les Swanson of Traverse City, MI. Unfortunately, Mrs. Langford passed away in the July 2005. The Burger Chanticleer was most recently seen about that time in the Grosse Pte. Yacht Club. Trivia for the record.

Interesting! Thanks for sharing. By the way, welcome aboard! When I first spotted Chanticleer, I thought for sure it was a Burger, but the oval windows below the pilothouse thru me off a bit. I ventured a call to David Ross at Burger and he confirmed it. Quite an illustrious history with this boat, Ralph Evinrude and Francis Langford!

Captain Bob New Member

Defoe Cruisemasters..... It was good to read the letter from a former "Natoya" crewman. There were 5 Cruisemasters built by Defoe but I can only remember the names of 3. They were "Savitar", "Natoya" and "Chanticleer". I knew Captain Jim Mertaugh for years as I worked at the Detroit Boat Basin where she was the last to be hauled in the fall and the first to be launched in the spring. With the help of the Mill foreman I designed a sort of yard tug out of a "work punt" with a well for an outboard which we used to push "Natoya" from her layup dock to the Marineways. That allowed Capt Jim and the crew to lay everything up early and not be concerned about running her engines. "Natoya" is now part of the artificial reef off Dade County, FL. I was aboard her in her final days. She'd been re-painted white (from her former Navy gray) and had fallen on hard times. I had asked for her engine quadrant but it was not to be. They were fine old boats. Would enjoy hearing from any members of the old crews. <[email protected]>

Recieved this note from Quincy Leslie... *************************************************** Captain Bob/Carl: Great to hear from someone who had contact with the ole' Natoya. As you know, she was owned for all her like, except for the very last years by Harold DuCharme of Grosse Pte. He actually owned Windmill Pointe, or similar name of some major section of GP. He was very well to do, and his younger relatives called him "Unkie". You mentioned that she was painted white in her last few years. On a point of pure trivia, I am absolutely convince that she had a very brief cameo shot in a 1960's James Bond move, Thunderball, which featured a large yacht that could break into two sections, one of which was a high speed hydrofoil boat. At any rate, for some reason, maybe they needed a stock shot, a boat identical to the Natoya, painted white, is shown floating offshore in the background while James Bond and the villian are have a discussion on a shoreside home lawn. Since the other shots both long and close up are not the Natoya, it makes it all the more interesting; you get the movie and check it out yourself. Her sister the Chanticleer also fell on hard times, after her owner Mrs. Ralph Evinrude, i.e. the movie star singer Alice Faye, sold her and replaced her with a Burger. I should have downloaded the images, but she showed up on a web site for a marina out east up on the hard. She had considerable corrosion around the stabilizer fins, which was interesting, as the Natoya had no such fins. I think they bought her cheap thinking to fix her up, but I suspect she was due for scrap. Also, recently there was a mention of the Chanticleer in a recent Lakeland Boating. I need to drop them a line. Thanks for the response. Write some more into, as I would be interested to hear. Capt. Jim died in AZ several years ago, I was told, and the family sold the Mertauge Boat works in Hessel, where Jim also lived, 5-7 years ago. Thanks again, Quincy Leslie

Wrong Owner Name In my prior post I inadvertantly referenced "Alice Faye" as Ralph Evinrude's wife and final owner of the Chanticleer. While Alice Faye was a fine actress and singer from the same period as Francis Langford, in fact I should have said that Francis Langford was the final owner of the Chanticleer and had been married to Ralph Evinrude. So this should correct my prior error and sorry for any inconvenience.

Thomas Pace New Member

Chanticleer To be specific ... CHANTICLEER was commisioned by my Great Uncle, John C. Pace. My Father, Thomas M. Pace, Sr took delivery of CHANTICLEER at the DeFoe yard, and ran her through the Great Lakes, out the St Lawrence Seaway, where they encountered exceptionally rough weather causing 38-degree rolls ... at 118' LOA and roughly 18' beam with a round bottom, the much later added stabilizers were no doubt a Godsend. She was sold to a foreign national many years later, and ultimately became the proud and happy ship for Ralph Evinrude. amd thus the connection to Mrs. Stuart. If anyone knows of the yard or the website where CHANTICLEER can be found, I would appreciate learning it - Shortly after the end of WW II, my Great Uncle John wanted a fine yacht, and contacted old man Huckins ... after some discussions about the size and specifics of the boat (a 58'-64' plan), my Great Uncle added he preferred a blue hull. As the story goes, Mr. Huckins responded that ALL Huckins boats were grey. John replied that if he was paying for the boat to be built, he could choose whatever hull color he so desired ... Huckins replied that if he was going to build it, the boat would be grey. John calmly relplied, ' Mr. Huckins, it appears we cannot do business' ... shortly after, Mr. DeFoe agreed to build John the 118' CHANTICLEER, with a dark blue hull.

Thomas, As posted by Alycia from Burger Yacht Sales (above your post), Chanticleer is located in Stuart (Jensen Beach actually). The estate of Francis Langford is also for sale in this area. Here is a link to Chanticleer's listing on YachtWorld... http://www.**************/core/list...rrency=USD&access=Public&listing_id=5984&url= Thank you for sharing the history on the build and welcome to YachtForums!

Actually, you are slightly mistaken : After the death of Mr Evinrude, the original CHANTICLEER, a 118' DeFoe CruiseMaster, was sold. Miss Langford then purchased the current boat, a 108' 1973 Burger, which she renamed ' Chanticleer'. The boat listed for sale is the second Chantilceer, and not the original.

Geoff R New Member

Of course it is People, First I must say that is a burger, and it is Chanti. I know the Captain and have been all through it at the yard. Whomever said it was used for fishing was totally BS'ing you. That boat hasn't moved in a few years, considering the Mrs. just passed last year, i would say that she was not an avid fisherwoman in her mid 90's before she passed. And its not like it was even a good spot. Its been at the same Marina for 20 years, AND that boat is in pretty bad shape....I mean the crew kept it up as best they could...but there was no money put into maintaining it beyond that until it went up for sale.

Original DeFoe vs recent Burger Hey Geoff - Since you know the most recent Chanticleer, the 108' Burger, I am curious to know if you have any current information about the Evinrude's first Chanticleer - Last word I got was that she was on the hard at a boatyard somewhere in New England - The yacht that I am initerested in is the 118' DeFoe Cruismaster, originally built for, and named ' Chanticleer' by my Great Uncle, John C. Pace shortly after WW II. Thank You, Tom Pace

A bareboat charter or demise charter is an arrangement for the chartering or hiring of a ship or boat, whereby no crew or provisions are included as part of the agreement; instead, the people who rent the vessel from the owner are responsible for taking care of such things. We are happy to arrange bareboat charters for qualified sailors who choose to go it alone. However, our specialty is to help you connect with knowledgeable captains and competent crew members to enhance your sailing experience by organizing your provisioning, planning your sailing itineraries, helping you manage meals and the galley and keeping you safe during your sailing adventure.
