2001 Bertram 450 Convertible

This 2001 Bertram 450 Convertible is a sportfishing yacht built on a deep-V hull, designed to balance tournament capability with genuine cruising comfort. Twin Caterpillar engines produce 1,320 horsepower, delivering a cruising speed of 26 knots and a maximum speed of 31 knots. The yacht spans 48 feet with a 15-foot beam, offering accommodation across two cabins and two heads.

The interior rivals much larger boats in its spatial planning. The salon, galley, and dinette flow seamlessly across the main deck, with an elevated cocktail area positioned forward of the dinette. The second cabin features an unusual side-by-side twin bunk arrangement rather than conventional upper-and-lower berths. The engine room received particular attention in its design: the fuel tank is positioned amidships to minimize trim effects while serving as both acoustic and thermal insulation for the forward cabin. Component layout throughout the machinery space is organized for straightforward maintenance access.

Multiple improvements have been completed aboard over the yacht's service life. Optional amenities include the possibility of installing a washer-dryer combination in the companionway, adding practical comfort for extended cruising.
