1979 Bertram 31 Flybridge Cruiser

Step aboard this 31 Flybridge Cruiser and you’ll feel why these hulls earned their reputation offshore. From the wide, uncluttered cockpit to the sturdy ladder up to the flybridge, everything is laid out for practical fishing and relaxed family days alike. Visibility from the bridge is excellent, with clean sightlines to the bow and corners of the transom, making docking and backing down on a fish far less stressful. Inside, the classic Bertram layout offers a surprisingly open feel for a 31-footer, with ample headroom and smart storage tucked everywhere. The deep-V hull promises a reassuring ride when the afternoon chop kicks up, and the boat’s weight and balance give it a solid, planted feel that’s hard to find in newer, lighter designs.

A 31 Bertram Flybridge Cruiser is tailor-made for the mixed conditions common in this region. The sharp entry and deep-V hull soften short, steep chop, while the broad running surface keeps the boat tracking true on longer runs to offshore structure or island anchorages. The compact footprint makes it easier to find slips and navigate tighter marinas, yet the generous cockpit has space for serious trolling spreads, diving gear, or a full crew of friends. With a flybridge helm, you get the elevated visibility needed to read shoals, spot weed lines, and weave through weekend boat traffic, all while enjoying a dry, comfortable ride in shifting winds and currents.
