1990 Bertram 28 Flybridge CRUISER

Step aboard Ragamuffin and you’ll notice how solid everything feels underfoot—classic Bertram heft that shrugs off chop. The wide side decks and substantial bow rail make line handling and anchoring feel secure, even when you’re short‑handed. At the helm, the clean, straightforward layout leaves room for modern electronics without feeling cluttered. Down below, the joinery and fabrics have that warm, traditional character you don’t find on newer, trend-driven boats. Storage is generous and thoughtfully placed, from tucked-away rod stowage to deep lockers that swallow weekend-cruising gear. Engine access is excellent, with service points arranged for real-world maintenance instead of showroom looks.

A Bertram 28 Flybridge CRUISER is particularly well suited to these waters, where conditions can shift quickly from flat calm to short, steep chop. The deep‑V hull delivers a soft, confident ride on longer runs between harbors and fishing grounds. Its size strikes a sweet spot: big enough to feel secure in open stretches, yet compact enough for tight slips, shallow creeks, and crowded marinas. The open cockpit is ideal for trolling, crabbing, or just setting out chairs for sunset raft‑ups, while the flybridge gives you the visibility needed to pick your way through busy channels and crab pots. For local weekend cruising and serious fishing alike, this model feels purpose-built.
