1986 Bertram 46 Convertible – Legendary Ride, Modern Comforts
This 1986 Bertram 46 Convertible Flybridge Sportfisher is a rare opportunity to own one of the most iconic and seaworthy yachts ever built. Known for its exceptional ride and legendary hull design, the Bertram 46 delivers unmatched stability, handling, and comfort—whether you’re cruising to the Channel Islands or chasing fish offshore.
Turnkey Ready & Exceptionally Maintained
This vessel has been meticulously cared for, with maintenance and upgrades that make her stand out in her class. She’s ready to cruise today—whether for a weekend getaway or extended liveaboard adventures.
Spacious Flybridge with Full Electronics
The expansive flybridge features a full suite of electronics and crisp, clear isinglass enclosure offering 360-degree visibility—making navigation and docking effortless and enjoyable.
Comfortable, Liveaboard-Ready Interior
Step into the salon and you’ll feel right at home. The open layout includes an L-shaped sofa, EZ lounger, dining table, and widescreen TV with a marine DirecTV satellite system—perfect for entertaining or relaxing after a day on the water. The galley is thoughtfully designed with home-style amenities, including a full-size stainless steel refrigerator with ice maker and ample counter space for serious cooking.
Cruise Off-Grid in Comfort
With a premium watermaker system installed, you can comfortably anchor offshore for extended periods without worrying about fresh water. This yacht was built to stay out longer and travel farther.
Accommodations for Extended Voyages
The yacht offers two private staterooms, each with its own en-suite freshwater head, providing plenty of space and privacy for family or guests. Whether you’re planning a long coastal cruise or a weekend in Catalina, you’ll have all the comfort you need.
Well-Powered and Reliable
Powered by twin Detroit Diesels with approximately 3,300 original hours, both engines received a full major overhaul at around 2,050 hours—giving them only 1,250 hours since overhaul. These engines run strong and are ready for many more adventures.
A True Classic That Stands the Test of Time
This Bertram 46 represents the best of both worlds: timeless design, legendary performance, and the modern amenities you want in a serious cruising and fishing yacht. The current owner has spared no effort in keeping her systems in excellent condition.
