Reimagining a Legacy
Since its inception, the Bertram 35 has been synonymous with fishing excellence, revered by enthusiasts for its rugged build and unmatched performance. Originally launched in the 1960s, this legendary vessel has undergone a remarkable transformation, with a modern design unveiled in 2017 that honors its storied heritage while integrating cutting-edge technology and luxurious features.
Performance Meets Precision
At the heart of the Bertram 35 lies a powerful duo of 500 hp Caterpillar C7.1 engines, ensuring that this yacht is not just a pretty face but a robust performer on the water. With a generous fuel capacity of 310 gallons, the Bertram 35 allows for extended excursions, perfect for the avid angler seeking to navigate the azure waters of Miami or venture into deeper seas.
Fisherman’s Paradise
Designed with the serious angler in mind, the Bertram 35 is equipped with an array of essential fishing features that elevate the experience. Standard equipment includes strategically placed rod holders, a well-sized livewell, and in-deck fish boxes that cater to the needs of any fishing expedition. The transom door provides easy access for landing your catch, ensuring that nothing is left to chance. For those desiring a touch of elegance, optional teak decking and covering boards can be added, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality.

Thoughtful Design Elements
The layout of the flybridge exemplifies Bertram’s commitment to an uncluttered and pragmatic design. The optional teak helm pod, equipped with Palm Beach controls, offers a sophisticated touch, while the raised console is fitted with multifunction displays alongside the Caterpillar engines’ 7-inch display. All critical ancillary systems are conveniently housed within a recessed helm box to the starboard side, ensuring ease of access without compromising the clean lines of the cockpit.
A Hub for Luxury and Leisure
Beyond its fishing capabilities, the Bertram 35 serves as a luxurious retreat on the water. The addition of engine-box cushions allows these functional areas to double as inviting sun pads and lounge spaces, ideal for enjoying a day on the water with family and friends. This versatility makes it a compelling choice for Miami’s vibrant yachting community, where leisure and performance go hand in hand.
Market Insights and Availability
As of the latest market review, the Bertram 35 continues to capture attention among discerning buyers. Currently, two new models are available, with prices ranging from $595,000 to $699,000, reflecting the yacht’s strong position within the luxury market.
