2003 Bertram

Vessel Walkthrough

When you first enter this extraordinary sport fish in the cockpit, you notice that this boat does not move when you step on. You instantly realize you are in the “Big League” of sport boats. Then, your eyes are drawn to the teak cockpit, covering boards, and the beautiful custom Blue Water all teak fighting chair. As you turn forward ship you will see the teak steps with the iconic Bertram emblem on the landing entering the salon. To your left and right, you will notice the main thing every real fishing machine needs: tackled stations complete with drawers, a sink on the bait station next to the engine room entry, and to starboard is a large freezer. As you scan aft, you will pick up on the underside of the pit and see gaff storage, in-deck fish boxes complete with Eskimo ice chipper. Looking to the transom you will notice the highly custom live well with 6 Tuna Tubes and the glass viewing into the well. This feature was custom made and fabricated by Hinckley. You will also notice the doors on each side outboard lower sides that conceal electric retractable Glendenning cable master power cords for 2-50 amp power cords to starboard and salt and freshwater spigots to port.

Moving forward you will notice to the port, is the way the salon sits out into the pit area with an expansive window that allows full view of the action in the pit from guests sitting inside. To starboard, you will see one of the best features which is the rod storage locker with Lexan see-thru door with a drain so you can hose your tackle while hanging in place. Behind this is the enclosed spiral staircase with teak steps for safe easy access to the bridge.

As you move through the full-length glass door into the salon you will see the highly customized and reconfigured interior complete with the signature custom carpet refurbished in 2019. This is a one-of-a-kind custom Bertram. To starboard is the all-new AV system with a very large Samsung HD TV in a custom cabinet with the DVD and amp hidden from view.  Massive whole boat Fusion Sound system has been added. Forward of this is a quartz top bar complete with under counter bottle and glass storage. Also in the bar area is a sink prep station and Scotsman icemaker.

Across from the bar is the new salon custom couch with concealed tackle storage. Custom designed coffee table. The owner’s in-house interior design group oversaw this feature.

As you move forward again, you come into the galley to port and dinette to starboard, separated by a beautiful quartz countertop with a recessed area aft for ease of serving food. The galley to port has a full-size GE profile side-by-side refrigerator-freezer. Moving forward on the port side of this are custom quartz countertop with 2 Sub Zero under counter drawers, which can be refrigerators or freezers, depending on your choice. Next to this is the dishwasher. On the counter, you will notice two stainless steel large-size sinks with multi-flow faucet heads on a flex removable head and in-sink disposal. Under this area is more storage. On the forward bulkhead is overhead storage and to the center is a GE Profile convection microwave oven and four burner Kenyon sensor class cooktop. Below this is a GE trash compactor a Gaggenau oven/broiler. As you move to the center of the ship, under the counter, there is more storage for dishes and glassware and drawers for cutlery.

To starboard is the custom-shaped dinette with a custom quartz table top. Again, in the entire galley and dinette area, you notice the full windows, which make the space feel spacious. Even in bad weather or underway, you never feel enclosed. On the forward bulkhead of the dinette are more storage lockers.

As you transverse to the lower decks down the angled staircase, you will note to the right an upper and lower full-size Miele washer and dryer units. Across from the landing is the head of the port stateroom, which is also utilized as the day head.

As you turn to your left, you progress aft on the ship down two steps into the full beam master suite. You will note the island full walk-around bed with bedside lights and table storage drawers under them and the bed. To the starboard, outboard are cabinets below a beautiful cherry countertop. On the forward side of the stateroom is a full walk-in closet and to the center next to this is a seated vanity area with mirror and lighting for the lady of the yacht. Directly beside this is the HD Samsung TV, and AV systems (VCR/DVD/VHS/CASSETTE). Below are yet more storage drawers and compartments.

To the port side of the suite is a sliding door entry to the master ensuite head and shower. This is complete with teak floors and Raritan head, Corian countertops, and his and her sinks with Grohe fixtures and full-width mirrors, storage behind them, and under-counter 110V plug-ins for shavers or hair dryers. Below this is more than ample storage as well. On the forward side of the head, the area is a full stand-up glass shower with seating and storage shelves for bath items, complete with a teak grate floor.

As you depart forward of the ship, you pass the day head to the port guests/crew stateroom, which has its entrance into the day head. This head again has teak floors, a Raritan head, and a fully stand-up glass-enclosed shower with a seat and teak grate floor. The vanity has a Corian top with sink and Grohe fixtures. Above is a mirror and cabinets below and above. The adjoining door opens to upper and lower bunks with cabinets with hanging lockers and its own stereo and AC control.

Across the hall is the Starboard guest stateroom. This suite has side-by-side twin bunks with its own TV/AV stereo system with 4-drawer storage below. There are reading lights and storage beside and below each bunk, and located just aft, and outboard is a full-size hanging locker. Moving aft again is the in-suite head with teak floors and shower. The vanity is outboard with a Corian countertop and a custom molded sink with Grohe fixtures. As is all of the heads the area behind the counter is a full mirror with storage. On the aft area is the Raritan head next to this inboard side of the head area is a full stand-up glass shower with seating and storage shelves for bath items, complete with a teak grate floor.

Traveling forward up the hallway, you enter the forward VIP stateroom. This suite boasts an island queen bed with reading lights and storage beside and below. Located just aft and outboard isa full-size hanging locker. Moving aft again is the in-suite head to starboard with teak floors and shower. The vanity is outboard with a Corian countertop and a custom molded sink with Grohe fixtures. The area behind the counter is a full mirror with storage behind. On the aft area is the Raritan head. next to this inboard side of the head area is a full stand-up glass shower with storage shelves for bath items, complete with a teak grate floor.

As we exit the salon to the aft to the left is the entrance to the flybridge. The easy spiral staircase makes it easy for even the senior or little children to safely transverse. As you enter the flybridge, you will notice the enclosed pop-up helm electronics station with storage below it and access to the upper bridge electrical station. What grabs your interest here is the all-new state-of-the-art Garmin 7215 touchscreen triple display electronics, MTU controls and the custom hardtop. You have two custom Murray Brothers padded luxury helm chairs with footrests for handling the beast, Bertram. On the outboard port side, you will note the seldom-seen docking station with bow thruster controls. This makes it easy to dock the boat. Above is the enclosed area with all new teaser reels. Forward of the helm station is the guest's seating and entertaining area. This area is enclosed in an EZ2CY glass enclosure with zipping up/down access.  The guest's entertainment area has wrap-around seating with storage below and a cocktail in the center. On the forward side is more storage, and to the port are the grill station, sink, and refrigerator. This is the perfect space for entertaining guests either underway, dockside or at anchor.

The entrance to the tuna tower is at the aft port side. You climb the ladder to the ultimate birds-eye view of the tuna tower. This area is for the die-hard fisherman who wants to see the fish and the baits. This area has an enclosed cage area with bolster covers and controls. The station has full controls and electronics to be fully functional. It also has a hardtop for shelter from the elements.

The entrance to the heartbeat of the Bertram Engine Room is located in the cockpit, facing forward next to the stairs to the salon and the tackle station. This is a full stand-up engine room with the forward bullhead encasing the fuel tank, which was an innovative design by Bertram. This not only cools the return fuel from the engines but also dampens the engine noise from the boat and does not change the static line of the vessel underway as fuel is burned off. It also allows a fuel sight gauge for accurate fuel management. The biggest asset is the MTU-2000 massive engines on the port and starboard sides. But as big as they are, there is enough room to get around them for maintenance quickly. The battery banks, which house 8 AGM batteries and two master-volt chargers, are located on the port's outboard. The outboard of the starboard side of the engines houses the fire extinguishing systems. One both sides are engine air vests with Delta Tair systems.

Aft of the engine room is the generator and pump room. This houses the two Kohler 23 KW generators in their sound shields. This area is also home to the saltwater supply pump, AC raw water pump, and salt water chipper units. The beauty of this area is that the deck above is removable if you must remove a generator, which is the top of the entire engine room for major engine work. Omni sonar is in the engine room.
