What this builder is
Bertram Yachts LLC builds its boats at 5250 West Tyson Avenue in Tampa, Florida, and sells them through what it describes as a high-quality worldwide dealer network; the yard says it has been producing recreational boats and yachts for over sixty years and is expanding its production capacity to meet demand for new products. Its own product development, engineering and tooling team designs and engineers every new Bertram, builds the tooling and the prototypes, and keeps refining the boats in production. The range runs in two series: the CC Series of offshore centre consoles — the 28CC on twin Mercury Verado 300s, the new 34CC on twin Verado 400 V10s and the 39CC on triple Verado 350 V10s — and the Offshore Series of diesel sportfishers, the 35 Flybridge (twin CAT C7.1), the 50 Sport (twin CAT C18 Acert) and the 61 Convertible (twin CAT C32 Acert). Each model page prints one specification block in imperial units with metric in brackets: length, beam, draft, transom deadrise, Seakeeper size, displacement dry and at full load, fuel, fresh-water and holding tanks, bridge clearance on the centre consoles, and the standard engines. Interiors come in an Atlantic package with crème upholstery or a Pacific package in dark blue with Amtico teak-and-maple floors, and a build-and-price configurator sits on the site.
Who sails them
Bertram owners are serious offshore anglers and their families — centre-console owners who run far out for a day's fishing behind outboards and want a boat that can also take friends to the sandbar, and sportfish owners who travel the bluewater tournament circuit on a flybridge or convertible with a stabiliser, a full cockpit and accommodation below.
Signature models
The sportfishers carry the name: the 35 Flybridge, which the yard calls a modern take on a Bertram classic, the 50 Sport, billed as the new era of the Bertram sportfish, and the 61 Convertible flagship; the 34CC is the newest centre console.
Strengths
Bertram is known for boats the yard says make seaworthy an understatement, deep-vee hulls with 18 to 23 degrees of transom deadrise, a Seakeeper gyro stabiliser in every model's specification (optional on the centre consoles), Mercury Verado and Caterpillar power, in-house design, engineering and tooling, production in Tampa, and a worldwide dealer network.
Considerations
The specification block gives the hull's overall length only, not a length with outboards or pulpit; it prints no speeds, range, cabins, heads or CE category. Two metric figures disagree with their imperial twins and are not used: the 35 Flybridge full-load displacement (22,631 lb printed as 1,270 kg) and the 39CC fuel tank (500 gal printed as 1,992.71 L); displacement is stored dry with standard engines, except the 61 Convertible, which prints full load only. The site has no history page, so no founding date is given here.

History
Bertram calls itself one of the most iconic marine brands, producing recreational boats and yachts for over sixty years. Its boats are built in Tampa, Florida, and sold through a worldwide dealer network, and the company says it is rapidly expanding its production to meet demand for new products. All of the work on a new Bertram starts in-house: the product development and engineering team designs and engineers the boats, builds the tooling and the prototypes, and keeps refining the models already in production, while the Tampa plant's laminators, finishers, assemblers and marine electricians build them.
