1978 Bertram Full Cabin

DESCRIPTION

This rare Bertram 25 Custom Cruiser is a standout example of one of the most respected 25-foot sea boats ever built – the legendary Bertram 25 Flybridge. Featuring a Ray Hunt designed deep-V hull, this vessel delivers an exceptionally soft, stable ride in rough water, making it perfect for serious offshore fishing or comfortable family cruising. 

Extensively structurally refitted in 2018 by Gateway Marine Shipwrights, this Bertram blends classic offshore capability with modern upgrades and contemporary styling. Bertram boats are widely respected for their thick fiberglass hull construction, often described as “overbuilt,” and known for standing the test of time. Powered by a Yanmar turbocharged overhead-cam 6-cylinder diesel and paired with a MerCruiser Bravo 3-X sterndrive, this boat offers strong performance with effortless cruising. 

Features include:

• Yanmar Turbocharged 6-Cylinder Diesel – serviced May 2025 

• New MerCruiser Bravo 3-X sterndrive leg assembly – May 2025 

• New alternator installed – Feb 2026 

• Bravo 3 stainless duo-prop assembly 

• Bow thruster for easy manoeuvring when docking or anchoring 

• Large removable aft sunshade/bimini for excellent sun protection 

• 10 rod holders total – 6 rooftop and 4 aft 

• Wide 3m beam deck access for easy fishing mobility 

• Removable stainless bait board with 4 rod holders 

• High-quality extruded forward and side clears with forward windows for excellent visibility 

• Custom redesigned cockpit structure and roof – 2018 

• Twin Raymarine helm chartplotters and instruments with ergonomic layout 

• Raymarine Autopilot 

• Fully adjustable helm seat for comfortable operation 

• Beautiful teak cockpit flooring 

• Fusion marine audio system with multiple input options 

• Trim tabs for improved balance and ride control 

• Electric anchor winch with helm remote 

• Large teak & stainless swim platform 

When you apply the throttle, the Yanmar turbo diesel delivers impressive performance, quickly bringing the boat onto plane with ease. Cruising comfortably around 28 knots with 35+ knot capability, this Bertram makes getting to your fishing grounds or favourite anchorage fast and enjoyable. Full service history is available on inspection. 

The forward day cabin features a comfortable V-berth/double bed, ideal for relaxing at anchor. It is well ventilated through the bow hatch and includes practical storage options. At the helm, you’ll enjoy excellent 180-degree visibility through high-quality extruded clears. The layout is designed for ease of operation with dual Raymarine chartplotter/fishfinder displays, autopilot, and bow thruster controls all within easy reach. 

The cockpit features stunning teak flooring, complemented by a marine-upholstered lounge opposite the helm and a sun bed integrated with the engine cover. A rear bimini sunshade extends from the roof to stainless poles at the transom, providing excellent shade while cruising or at anchor. 

For fishing enthusiasts, the removable stainless bait board and rod holder setup pairs perfectly with the 10 rod holders, giving plenty of options for a productive day on the water. 

At the stern, a teak and stainless swim platform provides the perfect place for a swim or relaxing on warm summer days. 

This Bertram 25 Custom Cruiser is a rare opportunity to own a beautifully upgraded classic offshore performer. Perfect for fast bay cruising, serious fishing trips, or relaxed days on the water, this vessel is a true standout and won’t last long.
