1980 Bertram Flybridge Cruiser

Step aboard and you’ll feel why these older Bertrams have such a loyal following. The deep, secure cockpit makes a solid platform for fishing or setting out deck chairs, and wide side decks with substantial rails give you confidence moving forward under way. Up top, the flybridge offers excellent sightlines with plenty of space for guests to join the captain, turning every cruise into a social event. Inside, the classic layout typically delivers a generous salon with big windows, real wood joinery, and multiple cabins that make longer stays comfortable. Heavy fiberglass construction and a hull form proven offshore give this cruiser a reassuring, planted ride when the weather turns less than perfect.

This vintage flybridge cruiser is well suited to the varied conditions found in this region, from calm nearshore waters to choppy open stretches. The substantial hull and weight help her track steadily through afternoon wind waves, while the elevated helm keeps you above spray for better visibility when threading channels or watching for crab pots. Multiple cabins and a spacious salon make weekend escapes and extended trips realistic, even with guests aboard. The large cockpit is ideal for trolling, diving, or loading gear for the sandbar. With a tender included, you can anchor off and still explore skinny creeks, quiet coves, and shoreline restaurants without worrying about draft or dock space.
