This Bertram 37 Express is a solid boat from the 80s, in good overall condition. 11.28 meters long and built in fiberglass, it is a perfect example of the typical robustness of the Bertram shipyard, famous for boats capable of tackling rough seas thanks to its deep-V hull. The Express version, less common than the Convertible with flybridge, offers a more open design, ideal for fishing and outdoor life.
The cockpit is large, covered in teak, and equipped with comfortable padded seats, storage lockers, an oversized stern platform with integrated gangway. The bridge is protected by a canvas windshield and awning, with double seats and good visibility. The controls are dual, with Raymarine instrumentation.
The boat can reach a maximum speed of 25 knots, with a comfortable cruise of around 19 knots. The tanks of about 1200 liters guarantee excellent autonomy.
This Bertam presents itself as a functional, robust and ready-to-use boat, suitable for coastal cruising or fishing trips. Some aesthetic details could be updated, but the structure and systems remain solid. It is an interesting choice for those looking for a reliable and well-designed boat, which can be customized according to their needs.
