Expertly maintained and boasting an extensive refit completed between 2017 and 2018, this 1980 Bertram 38' Sport Fish Mk 3 presents a rare opportunity to acquire a classic performance vessel in excellent condition. Measuring 12 meters overall with a beam of 4.03 meters, this fiberglass sport fisherman has been upgraded with modern amenities, including a bow thruster, an integrated hydraulic steel gangway, and a modified transom door with an enlarged swim platform. The hull and structural reinforcements ensure this vessel remains as capable today as when it was first built.
Powering this sport fish are twin Caterpillar 3208 8V engines, each producing 385 horsepower. With 750 engine hours recorded, these robust powerplants allow for a comfortable cruising speed of 21 knots and a maximum speed of 26 knots. The mechanical systems have undergone rigorous maintenance, including a full service of the shaft lines, propellers, and PSS mechanical seals. The 8 kW Onan generator was removed and rebuilt to zero-hour status during the restoration, ensuring reliable power at sea.
The interior layout prioritizes comfort with two dedicated cabins and two bathrooms featuring separate shower stalls. The living area is complemented by a convertible dinette, all finished with mahogany woodwork. Recent interior updates include a new mahogany table, a new sofa, and a renovated galley equipped with a glass-ceramic cooktop, a modern refrigerator, and television. For climate control, the vessel features an onboard air conditioning system.
Equipped for serious navigation, the helm stations are fitted with a comprehensive electronics suite including two cartographic plotters, two depth sounders, an autopilot, and two VHF radios. The exterior appeal is maintained by upholstery in excellent condition across both the deck areas and the flybridge, which features a dedicated sunbathing zone.
This vessel is located in Toscana, Italy, and is offered with VAT paid. Please contact our agency at Via Bertini 127/A, Viareggio (LU) for further information or to schedule an inspection of this well-equipped sport fish.
