The Bertram 360 is a 39-foot sportfishing motorboat that was produced by the Florida-based yacht-building company Bertram Yachts between the years of 2006 and 2010. Capable of being used to track down tuna or simply as a family cruiser, this yacht boasts the sort of build-quality that could make it a family heirloom for decades to come. A flared bow, sloping lines down to transom and a slight tumblehome feel to aft are joined by a solid fiberglass bottom to the deep-V hull, while the craftsmanship across the main deck mixes the downright practical with a dash of luxury.
Attach a soaring tuna tower to this vessel for the ultimate in high-octane fishing, or simply let your work in the aft cockpit do the talking. Back here you will find plenty of flush rod holders, an elevated set of rocket launchers, a pair of in-sole fish boxes, a capacious transom livewell and a floorplate for a custom fighting chair. Extras include a transom lift-gate, a bait-prep station with a sink and a freezer, an Eskimo ice-chipper, a self-draining deck surface and a freshwater wash down hose. The cockpit also boasts a mezzanine sofa and a single-seat with views out to aft, while you can also equip this space with a transom sofa and dining table if you choose to use this boat as a weekend cruiser with the family in tow. Head out onto the foredeck and you will find a space surrounded by high guardrails where you can enjoy old-fashioned line-fishing, or for those who prefer their creature comforts, a triple-width sunpad ideal for soaking up the rays.
The upper-cockpit sits underneath a dynamic hardtop and behind a sloping, wraparound windscreen for a partially enclosed vibe, and there is room in here for a dining sofa with a table and even an optional wet-bar to starboard with a grill. Up front there is comfortable bench seating or an adjustable piloting chair facing the main helm station, where you will encounter a pair of multifunction display screens fitted with goodies like a fish-finder, along with digital throttles, autopilot, a tilting steering wheel and VHF radio.
Head through a watertight companionway door into a pleasant lower-deck space lined in warm cherry with a teak and holly sole. Down here you will find an open galley with Corian work surfaces, a microwave oven, a stainless-steel sink, ample cabinetry and under-counter chilled storage, across from an L-shaped sofa in plush upholstery that surrounds an extending, timber-topped table. At the front of the lower deck there is a semi-open cabin with a queen-sized bed, a skylight and a timber-lined closet, while to port there is an enclosed head with a macerated toilet, a ceramic sink and an enclosed shower stall.
Powered by a pair of 460HP Caterpillar C7 diesels or twin Volvo Penta D9 inboards, you can expect to reach top speeds of around 34 knots, while a 406-gallon fuel tank keeps enough in reserve to keep you out on the water all weekend.
