The Bertram 28 is a classic sportfishing and cruising vessel, renowned for its seaworthy deep-V hull designed by C. Raymond Hunt. Built in 1976 during Bertram’s golden era, this model remains a favorite among offshore anglers and family cruisers alike.
At 28 feet overall, the boat offers a balanced mix of performance, comfort, and fishability. The flybridge provides excellent visibility and seating for captain and crew, with a straightforward helm and bench seating. Wide side decks and sturdy rails make for safe movement around the boat.
The spacious cockpit is one of the Bertram 28’s hallmarks—ideal for fishing, diving, or setting up chairs for sunset cruises. Rod holders and fish boxes, and a swim step make it practical for serious offshore use.
Below deck, the cabin layout is simple yet functional. A V-berth forward sleeps two, while the convertible dinette offers additional berths. A compact galley with sink and fridge to port, and the enclosed head with marine toilet is aft of the galley. Teak accents and quality construction reflect Bertram’s craftsmanship.
Powered with twin inboard Volvo diesel engines, the Bertram is known for handling rough seas with confidence.
Often called “the best 28-footer ever built,” the Bertram 28 Flybridge Cruiser combines classic styling, rugged construction, and offshore capability. With thousands produced over its long run, parts and support remain widely available, making it a practical classic with enduring appeal.
