2026 Bertram 61C

Your serious bluewater fishing machine. Tailor-made for open water, the Bertram 61 masterfully blends seakeeping capability, luxury, and sportfishing prowess. Spacious and elegant, there’s room for plenty of family, friends, and crew to join your endeavors on the high seas.

Leave Ordinary in Your Wake
Head out on the open seas – no foul weather gear required.

Take a closer look
Each Bertram is designed and built by skilled craftsmen who are boaters themselves, so even the smallest details are taken into account. Every component is intentional, and the materials, colors, and finishes are hand-selected to create timeless designs both inside and out.

Find your fit
No matter the length of your journey, keep your crew comfortable with a stylish, accommodating interior that can be tailored to fit your needs.

Standard Queen
Our standard layout includes a full queen in the forward stateroom. Add extra elegance with the Atlantic interior package (pictured above) which includes crème upholstery, plus light countertops and flooring.

Optional Split Bunk
Another option is a space-saving split bunk in the forward stateroom. Add a splash of color with our Pacific interior package (pictured above) which features dark blue upholstery alongside Amtico teak and maple flooring.
