Bertram Yachts 61: Boat Review
- By Capt. Jen Copeland
- Updated: October 10, 2018
Paying homage to the company’s original 54-footer, Bertram Yachts has combined the latest in boatbuilding techniques and innovations with modern interiors that are not only bright and sophisticated but live-in comfortable. Along with a handful of industry executives and potential buyers, I was privy to see the new Bertram 61 — the model that will redefine the Bertram brand — in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Bertram Yachts has taken its share of punches over the past 60 years, but the brand has remained amazingly resilient, embracing what the company holds most dear: its iconic name. Chief executive officer Peter Truslow has been charged with the company’s rebirth by reverencing the models that got them where they are today. Part of that plan involved moving to a waterfront shipyard facility in Tampa, Florida, in 2016.
“I am incredibly proud of our class-leading 61 as well as the team that builds these boats,” says Truslow. “I feel the experience we have at our facility and service center in Tampa are unmatched in our industry, and our work with the Michael Peters design team has formed a great foundation for our long-term product growth.”
Hull and Superstructure
Right from the start, you can’t help but notice the nods to the past: the fore-to-aft navy Bertram stripe, the stepped sheer and that classic Bertram logo. And for a brief moment, you are catapulted back to the past, reliving the good times at Walker’s Cay.
As you enter the cockpit, you find very little that screams ‘same old Bertram.’ There is a luster, an inescapable new look that is evident in the styling and construction. Using infused vinylester composites reinforced with Kevlar in the keel and strakes, the 61 is designed with durability in mind. Beefy and solid, this hull was built to withstand whatever the ocean can throw at it — a cornerstone of the Bertram reputation.
The new boat’s deck and house incorporate a composite material made of a polymer matrix reinforced with fiberglass for brute mechanical strength, unsurpassed corrosion resistance and insulation qualities.
Cockpit and Bridge
Hull No. 1 is outfitted with a large, self-draining teak cockpit sole, containing two removable fish boxes with macerator pumps. The teak deck carries itself up onto the mezzanine, where a four-person buckskin ultra-leather couch is oriented to port. The mezzanine steps contain three adjustable refrigeration compartments with lift-and-lock-style latches for easy opening, and under the covering board, in-gunwale storage keeps cleaning supplies, brush handles or gaffs out of sight but within easy reach on both sides.
Ascending to the bridge, a center-console helm design is matched with bench seating all around, and a large two person chaise in front of the helm offers a perfect spot for stretching out, reading or napping while underway.
The PipeWelders Marine hardtop provides plenty of shade and is outfitted with molded-in LED overhead lighting as well as a pod to accept electronic displays, such as autopilot, electronic compass and VHF radios.
The helm station is clean and tightknit. Two large Garmin multifunction displays flank the Caterpillar engine display and OctoPlex ship control monitor, allowing the captain to manage virtually every system on the boat without leaving the helm.
A stainless steering wheel takes center stage on the teak helm pod, while the Palm Beach-style single lever controls with bow thruster buttons make maneuvering in tight quarters a no-brainer. On either side of the pod, a set of lidded boxes houses the electronics needed to get you from point A to point B safely, day or night.
The first things you notice as you enter the salon are the windows. The near-military-grade lightly tinted glass wraps the space, drenching the salon in 360 degrees of natural light, something I don’t remember seeing on convertible boats since Rybovich, Merritt and, yes, Bertram, did away with their clear windshields many years ago — another modernized nod to the past.
The layout is open, and the entire perimeter of the salon contains cabinet storage that runs along the overhead. Satin teak veneers are oriented on the horizontal as opposed to the conventional vertical to accentuate the open feel. Two Release Marine ergonomic bar stools belly up to the galley counter and provide not only a place to eat, but also additional seating in the salon.
The soft white leather couch set to port contains storage underneath, and a cabinet console runs the starboard length of the salon, housing a pop-up TV and multiple storage cabinets. The U-shaped galley features Silestone countertops, a deep stainless-steel sink, a dishwasher, a cooktop and an oven.Plush white carpeting is present in the main area of the salon and in the staterooms, while wide-plank natural white ash matte flooring in the galley runs down the companionway and into the heads.
Down the stairs and to port, you enter the master suite, greeted by a large head with shower and substantial vanity, perched on which is a beautiful white bowl sink.Beyond the suite entryway lies a full-beam master stateroom — oriented port-to-starboard — with the bed on the port side, and a pop-up TV and full-length closets to starboard. Two optional hullside windows allow the natural light to funnel in below, while Dometic’s 96,000 Btu chilled-water air-conditioning system keeps the interior very cool.
Moving forward, there is a side-by-side twin stateroom with private access to the day head, and all the way forward is a large VIP berth with a full-size bed, en suite head and plenty of storage.
Engine Package and Performance
The Bertram 61 is equipped with twin Caterpillar C32 ACERTs, providing a whopping 1,900 hp each to the vessel. This gives her a cruising speed of almost 36 knots at 80 percent load — burning 160 gallons per hour at 2,000 rpm. Twin Disc gears make for fully automatic shifting when chasing down speedy blue marlin that make you spin on a dime.
Seakeeper gyrostabilizers are now standard in all Bertram models, and the 61 is equipped with an SK16, positioned at the aft bulkhead of the engine room. Twin Onan 21.5 kW gensets provide ample power to all the ship’s systems.
The big Cats pop her up on plane with little effort and are powerful enough to back around as fast as necessary to get that all-important tournament release.She is responsive, steers true and her auto-controlled Humphree trim tab system stations the boat perfectly in that annoying side-to or on-your-quarter sea. She is quiet inside and out, thanks in part to the sound-absorption system installed in the engine room.
There is no doubt the entire Bertram design team has put its blood, sweat and tears into this model, reinventing itself to stay on top of current trends and remain a relevant player in a highly competitive industry. “When you’re using the best materials, hardware, machinery and electronics, it’s easy to build a great boat. But when your number-one design criteria is that it has to be Bertram, you know it is going to be that much greater,” says Bertram’s vice president of sales, Tommy Thompson.
There has always been a cult following for Bertrams, and I believe this group will be especially happy to see this high-quality, American-made vessel coming out of Tampa. As for other potential owners, you just have to see it to believe it. The Bertram legacy continues.

- Bertram Yachts
by David Pascoe
Yep, this is our introductory photo to Bertram Yachts. Not very complimentary? Read on because in the aftermath of hurricanes Andrew and Opal, most Bertrams survived with as little damage as this one did.
Bertram has a well-deserved reputation for building rugged, high quality boats. Bertram has an interesting history, for it was one of the three first production boat companies to start up in 1961 along with Hatteras and the Henry Hinckley Company, all known for producing top quality boats that have survived to this day. Well, almost, for the current status of Bertram seems to be that it is teetering on the edge of extinction.
The success of Bertram came about as the result of Dick Bertram's commitment to quality, Ray Hunts revolutionary deep vee hull design, and the timeliness of Castro's overthrow of the Bastista government which brought a flood of cheap labor to Miami. This was augmented by the fact that the Cuban refugees that got jobs at Bertram usually kept them for a lifetime, meaning that the turnover at Bertram was nearly zilch, meaning that Bertram employees were well trained and knew what they were doing.
More that three decades later, the downfall of Bertram was probably that Bertrams ended up being built by Cubans for Cubans, for the later management made the disastrous mistake of concentrating solely on the sport fishing market by completely abandoning the cruising market. When the '89 recession hit, they ended up being in the wrong niche market, from which this large operation could not recover.
Although Bertram did produce many motor yachts, these were half-hearted efforts that often resulted in poorly performing boats based on a deep vee hull that resulted in extremely inefficient fuel hogs that required too much horsepower to drive. Add to that their marketing feel far short so that Bertram ultimately defaulted the entire extremely lucrative motor yacht business to Hatteras, a factor which insured Hatteras's success.
The reputation of Bertram is built on rough and rugged sport fishermen based on the original Ray Hunt design that produced boats that keep on going when others had to put into port. But the downside of a very deep vee hull is that they are inefficient and require a lot more horsepower, as well as fuel, to drive them. This also resulted in a lower profile hull that significantly limits interior space, a factor which gave Hatteras room to compete in the fish boat market by making beamier boats with bigger and more plush interiors that pleased the ladies. Apparently Hatteras wisely recognized that the lady of the house
Interiors on these boats are often downright spartan. Not for nothing are they often referred to as macho boats, what with all the formica you'll find on any Bertram made before 1990. The good news is that this can easily be changed by covering with veneers, vinyls or fabrics over the mica, which can transform some of these dreary interiors in no time.
This lead to Bertram and Hatteras becoming arch rivals with Hatteras ultimately emerging as the winner. While the Bertram crowd rather arrogantly looked down their noses at the folks in High Point, Hatteras sales soared while Bertrams remained relatively flat. Until the '89 recession when they went to zero from which they never recovered.
While Bertram is often the quality standard by which all others are judged, you may be surprised to hear me say that that reputation is not always well deserved. While I would ascribe some of the industry's best R&D and quality control to Bertram, these boats are not the floating tanks like many people believe. For over two decades Lee Dana was the chief of engineering at Bertram, and from what we've seen of these boats Lee clearly knew where to put the beef and where to take it out. For the fact is that with a deep vee hull, the weight of these boats had to be kept down if you were going to get any kind of speed out of them, and that is a lesson Bertram learned early on. Model for model, you may be surprise to find that Bertrams are lighter than a Hatteras, especially in hull laminate thickness.
Throughout these pages, we've shown you a lot of pictures of boats that have gone through hurricances. After seeing so many of these boats bashed and battered, we know how they're built, and we can tell you that they really are tough cookies. These hull laminates are no thicker, or at least not much thicker, than anybody else's, but it is the engineering expertise - often utterly lacking in so many others - that makes the difference. These hulls are plain old woven roving construction and hold up better than all the exotic materials you hear about put together. When you hear builders touting the latest and greatest high tech stuff, we say HOOEY! And we'll be pleased to show you the proof, because its contained right here on the pages of this web site. That's why, over and over again, we show you pictures of busted up boats. The only way to test 'em is to break 'em, and that's what storms do.
You may have heard that Bertrams don't blister. For the most part, that is true, although there have been a few. As one who has occasionally wandered through the Bertram yard, we know that one of the reasons is quality control. For example, a green dye was usually added to the resin to help show up incomplete wet out. Also, it was Lee Dana himself who told us about tank coating, the process of using a high quality resin on the exterior and lower quality in the later laminations. No doubt the wrong resin occasionally got sprayed at the wrong time.
This is not to say that you'll find many Bertrams falling apart, although that is not without precedent. As the photos on this page shows, we've seen a lot of Bertrams wrecked by hurricanes so we know how they're built. As a rule, these solid fiberglass hulls will outperform any cored hull under any conditions. As with Hatteras, we've seen dozens of Bertrams survive storms that destroyed all their neighbors. If the ability to survive after hitting a coral head or taking a wave over the stern concerns you, these are the kind of boats to consider. Just be aware that, as with all other builders, mistakes are made. As with all builders, occasionally they do some pretty dumb things - like bolting a cleat to a block of wood that is basically glued to the hull, as you will find in the 42C, and as discovered after hurricane Andrew as all the 42's ripped their cleats out.
Both companies wisely stayed away from exotic materials and continued to build from basic roving and balsa cored construction, decisions that spared them any costly mistakes. Well, almost. In fact, both companies experimented with foam cores in the mid 1980's with both efforts resulting in failures, both in their 38' line of sport fishermen. The experiments quickly came to an end and was not tried again.
One of the worst things you'll find about Bertram are the generators placed under the cockpit decks which, up until the early 80's were wood. Needless to say, the decks leaked like crazy and ruined the generators. Battery placement was usually a nightmare, and if you don't maintain the batteries you end up with a lot of dead ones and frequent replacements. Engine room layouts are usually quite a bit less than ideal, usually cramped and hard to maintain. Rarely was consideration given toward maintenance, which no doubt contributes greatly to why so many of these older boats are so poorly maintained.
So what about buying used Bertrams today? Much of the fleet is now finding its way to the back lots of boat yards. Prices are down far enough that people who really can't afford them have bought them, only to find that the upkeep of these aging yachts, particularly the immensely popular but fuel-hoggy 46 Convertible, is a whole lot more than they expected. The small boats, and the more popular 37 and 54 Convertible are still hot items on the market and command steep prices. But probably one of the best values to be had these days is the rugged 42 Convertible which is not so big and heavy that you need monster diesels to make them go. The 33 & 37 are great boats that initially carried high price tags made even higher by the addition of towers and all the bells and whistles. Yet as time goes on, these prices steadily decline, bringing some of these gems within reach of the less-than-rich.
Unless you're got the bucks, beware of buying diesel Bertrams. They are hard on engines and keeping them going gets downright expensive. The best values for the budget conscious are with the gas engine boats. But make sure that your choice isn't underpowered because over-worked gas engines don't last long.

Luga ( Russian : Лу́га ; Finnish: Ylä-Laukaa or Laukaa ; Votic : Laugaz ; Estonian : Luuga ) is a town and the administrative center of Luzhsky District in Leningrad Oblast , Russia , located on the Luga River 140 kilometers (87 mi) south of St. Petersburg . Population: 38,593 ( 2010 Census ) ; [3] 40,434 ( 2002 Census ) ; [8] 41,769 ( 1989 Census ) . [9]
Administrative and municipal status
Transportation, culture and recreation, twin towns and sister cities, notable people.
It was founded on the banks of the river of that name by order of the Catherine the Great on August 3 (14), 1777. [2] The town developed in following stages:
- Initial construction (1777–c. 1800)
- Early growth to population of 3,000 (c. 1810–c. 1860)
- Intense social and urban development (c. 1870–1910)
- Soviet development according to the typical plan for smaller towns (1926–c. 1950)
- Reconstruction of the historical town structure (c. 1960–c. 1995)
- Transition to free market agro-industrial town (c. 1995–2005)
Luga was founded as a town in Pskov Viceroyalty , but in March 3 (14), 1782 it was transferred to St. Petersburg Governorate [2] (renamed Petrogradsky in 1913 and Leningradsky in 1924) and became the seat of Luzhsky Uyezd . In 1918, important events of the Russian Civil War took place in the area, when the White Army unsuccessfully tried to conquer Petrograd. [2]
On August 1, 1927, the uyezds were abolished and Luzhsky District, with the administrative center in Luga, was established. [10] The governorates were also abolished and the district became a part of Luga Okrug of Leningrad Oblast . [11] On July 23, 1930, the okrugs were abolished as well and the districts were directly subordinated to the oblast. On September 19, 1939, Luga became a town of oblast significance and was thus no longer a part of the district. [11]
The World War II German advance on Leningrad was temporarily halted by seven regular, militia, and irregular divisions in the Luga area and this delayed the commencement of the Siege of Leningrad by over a month. [12] In recognition of this feat, the town was awarded the title of " Hero City " and listed as one of the World War II Cities of Military Glory by Vladimir Putin , the President of Russia . [ citation needed ] German occupation of Luga lasted from August 24, 1941 to February 12, 1944. [ citation needed ]
In 2010, the administrative structure of Leningrad Oblast was harmonized with its municipal structure [13] and Luga became a town of district significance.
Within the framework of administrative divisions , Luga serves as the administrative center of Luzhsky District . [1] As an administrative division, it is, together with four rural localities , incorporated within Luzhsky District as Luzhskoye Settlement Municipal Formation . [1] As a municipal division , Luzhskoye Settlement Municipal Formation is incorporated within Luzhsky Municipal District as Luzhskoye Urban Settlement . [5]
There are enterprises of construction, chemical, and food industries in Luga. [14]
Luga lies on the railway line connecting the Baltiysky railway station of St. Petersburg with Pskov . Another railway line to Batetsky and Veliky Novgorod branches off east. Both have suburban service.
The M20 Highway , connecting St. Petersburg with Pskov and eventually with Kyiv , passes Luga. In Luga, two more roads branch eastwards: one running to Veliky Novgorod and another one to Lyuban and Mga , largely following the border of Leningrad Oblast.
