The Bertram 50 Sport is a 51-foot sportfishing yacht that was launched by the Florida-based boat-building company Bertram Yachts in 2021. Though it may look, and move, much like a coupe, this stylish and sporty vessel delivers the sort of fishing credentials needed to chase after prize catches. The boat’s aerodynamic form also hides plenty of deluxe and comfortable living spaces ideal for the entire family to enjoy weekends exploring offshore.
Add a custom Pipewelders tuna tower to this model to enjoy elevated reconnaissance, or stick with the tournament-ready fishing amenities to be found in the 178 square-foot, teak-lined aft cockpit. Back here you can expect to encounter a bespoke fighting chair, flush rod-holders, a transom lift-gate, a hot and cold wash-down hose, in-sole fish boxes, a self-draining deck, an aquarium-style transom livewell and an optional set of rocket-launchers affixed to the rear of the hard-top. On a raised mezzanine level, meanwhile, there is a comfortable twin sofa and a bait-prep station with chilled storage, prep counters, tackle drawers and an icemaker.
Heading indoors you will find an L-shaped sofa to port and room for a wet bar to starboard, with expansive views out of the dynamic side windows. The ergonomic helm sits flush in the center of the boat, directly behind sloping, mullioned windscreen glazing and beneath a retracting sunroof for an elemental feel, while a trio of adjustable Pompanette chairs are on hand for a comfortable piloting experience. The helm boasts a pair of multifunction Garmin touchscreens, an Octoplex digital switching system, handheld VHF, a glazed teak helm pod, a stainless-steel steering wheel, a Seakeeper 9 stabilizer switch, a Zipwake trim system and bow thruster controls for next-generation directionality.
Choose between your choice of Atlantic or Pacific interior treatments down on the lower deck, with the former option boasting pale timber, crème upholstery, beige carpeting and light accents throughout. The Pacific option, meanwhile, features an Amtico teak and maple sole contrasting against sophisticated dark blue upholstery for a distinctly mid-century vibe. Both editions feature strip glazing down here, along with mood lighting, climate control and breathable dimensions. There is a U-shaped dining sofa with a table amidship, facing a walk-in galley with a steel sink, Corian work surfaces, a three-zone hob, an oven and Liebherr chilled storage. Further forward there is a port-side bunk berth for two, an enclosed head with a shower stall, and a master stateroom with a double bed and a full-height closet located by the bow.
Powered by a pair of 1150HP Caterpillar C18 Acert diesel engines, with upgrades to twin MAN 1550HP motors also on offer, you can propel this yacht to top speeds of around 42 knots with a cruising pace of approximately 37 knots. A massive 1,236-gallon fuel tank, meanwhile, enables you to stay out on the water for days before needing to return to dry land for a refuel.
