Experience the legacy of the Bertram 31 Fly, a 1971 classic that represents a pinnacle of marine engineering. Widely recognized as one of the most significant fiberglass designs in boating history, this particular unit has undergone a comprehensive, meticulous refit. The vessel retains its legendary deep-V hull, ensuring the performance that made the Bertram 31 an industry status symbol. With 350hp VW diesel engines installed during a total refit in 2011 and updated with new inverters in 2022, this boat offers a reliable, high-performance experience, reaching cruising speeds of 28 knots and a maximum speed of 32 knots.
Every detail of this craft has been carefully preserved or modernized. The 2020 and 2021 works include a professional gelcoat finish on the hull sides, a solid teak transom finished with 30 coats of varnish, and polished teak flooring in the dinette. The interior features bleached oak paneling and beige leather upholstery, creating an elegant environment. Practical upgrades include a new Raymarine touchscreen GPS/Plotter, a Fusion Bluetooth stereo system, and a modern induction cooktop, ensuring that the charm of this 9.15-meter vessel is complemented by modern convenience.
Designed for versatility, the layout features a generous aft cockpit that serves equally well as a social area or a dedicated sport fishing station. The flybridge, accessible via a ladder on the starboard side, includes three comfortable seats and an external helm station. Below, the compact yet efficient interior houses a dinette with a sofa, an opposite galley, a forward V-berth cabin, and a separate bathroom equipped with a toilet and shower.
This is a unique opportunity to own a professionally maintained piece of nautical history located in Italia. The vessel is available for inspection for those seeking a turnkey classic motorboat that honors the original vision of Ray Hunt and Richard Bertram while offering updated mechanical confidence.
