Expertly restored to perfection, this 1972 Bertram 28 SF represents a rare opportunity to own a legendary sportfisherman that combines classic lines with modern mechanical reliability. Having undergone a comprehensive refit throughout 2024, the vessel is effectively presented in new condition, with structural improvements including new engine stringers, a reinforced fiberglass hull, and a completely overhauled electrical system housed in waterproof enclosures.
Designed with an emphasis on fishing utility, this specific version features a compact deckhouse that allows for an expansive, single-level cockpit. The refit included the installation of a new stern platform and transom door, creating a seamless deck flow. Every detail, from the new stainless steel pulpits to the updated interior helm station, has been executed to restore the vessel to pristine operational standards while enhancing comfort for the owner.
At the heart of this yacht lie two new 250 HP Yanmar diesel engines with zero hours, providing a cruising speed of 20 knots and a maximum speed of 28 knots. The hull retains the renowned deep-V design that made the model famous for its heavy-weather performance, a trait rarely found in flybridge yachts of this length. The mechanical installation is supported by a meticulously cleaned fiberglass fuel tank and an optimized steering linkage system.
This vessel is perfectly suited for enthusiasts of classic yacht design who demand modern reliability. With a capacity for up to eight people and a configuration optimized for sport fishing, it serves equally well as a robust day cruiser. The boat is currently lying in Italy with VAT paid, remaining fully prepared for immediate delivery and sea trials.
