Bertram 42 Convertible

Offered for sale is this 1984 Bertram 42 Convertible, a classic sportfisherman with the pedigree and performance that made Bertram a household name among offshore enthusiasts. This particular vessel has been under the care of the same family for many years but has seen minimal recent use due to changing life circumstances. As such, she is now available to the market and represents a compelling opportunity for a new owner to bring her back to her full potential.

Built on Bertram’s proven deep-V hull, the 42 Convertible is renowned for a smooth, confident ride and exceptional handling offshore. Powered by twin Detroit Diesel 6-71 engines, this model offers robust performance and reliability when properly maintained. Prospective buyers should be aware that the boat has been essentially dormant for a period of time and will require recommissioning and upgrades to align with modern standards.

Her interior layout features a spacious salon, galley-down configuration, two staterooms, and a large head with separate stall shower—ideal for extended cruising or serious fishing adventures. Outside, the expansive cockpit and flybridge provide the footprint and functionality that made the 42 Convertible a favorite among tournament anglers.

This is a unique chance to acquire a solid Bertram hull at an approachable entry point and tailor her to your exact specifications. With vision and effort, this vessel can be transformed into a standout example of the marque.

Key Highlights:

• Legendary Bertram hull and reputation

• Twin Detroit Diesel 6-71 engines

• Spacious two-stateroom layout
