His­tory of The Yacht

The yacht SINA­TRA THE VOICE was built by the Burger Boat Com­pany in 1956 in Man­i­towoc, Wis­con­sin USA.

It is under­stood that Frank used the yacht very pri­vately on a num­ber of occa­sions between 1968 and 1974 in West Palm Beach Florida. 

In 1992, the yacht was acquired by the present owner Sign of the Times Lim­ited and presently the yacht is located in Lon­don, its name changed to SINA­TRA THE VOICE in hon­our of Frank Sina­tra, and now owned by mul­ti­ple own­ers each hav­ing a share in Sign of the Times Limited.
