Measured Performance


Nicholas Fletcher, Bertram's Naval Architect Program Manager, highlighted the balanced design of the 34CC. "We've integrated lessons from our best-running hulls to create the perfect blend," Fletcher stated. "We focused on balancing weight and running surface to deliver a ride that is comfortable and dynamically refined." The 34CC’s design ensures exceptional stability and handling, making it a standout in performance.

Fishing Features


The Bertram 34CC’s fishboxes come equipped with specific drainage systems, allowing them to double as in-floor storage, providing flexibility for different needs. These compartments are designed to keep gear dry, ensuring a hassle-free experience on the water.

Strategic Partnerships & Careful Engineering


Bertram’s approach to product design emphasizes reliability and user-friendly solutions. Strategic partnerships with industry leaders like Mercury and Garmin underscore their commitment to proven, resilient system designs. "We prioritize resilient, proven system designs over high-tech solutions that can be difficult to manage," said Dan Hamilton, Bertram’s Director of Product Development and Engineering. "Our approach ensures reliability and ease of use for our customers."
