The Bertram 510 Convertible is a 51-foot luxury convertible sportfishing yacht produced by Florida-based yacht-building firm Bertram between 2000 and 2008. A still-modern profile boasts the sorts of sleek lines, soft curves and angular edges that are Bertram’s signature style, while a tough and rugged deep-V hull and powerful engines ensure that this vessel remains seaworthy to this day. Fishing prowess is secured thanks to a fine-tuned cockpit and an elevated flybridge, while family-friendly interior spaces are elegant, spacious and remarkably comfortable.
Turn this into the ultimate fishing vessel by attaching a custom-made tuna-tower, or simply enjoy the stunning views on offer from the flybridge. Up here you will encounter a smart forward lounge with wrap-around, U-shaped seating lined in marine-grade cushioned upholstery as well as a teak table perfect for enjoying al-fresco drinks and meals. To aft there are a pair of Release Marine adjustable helm seats facing a modern dashboard equipped with goodies like Garmin display screens, Furuno radar, Simrad autopilot ICOM VHF radio, Bennet trim-tab switches, optional Stabilizer controls, power-steering and a Ritchie compass.
At 168-square feet this has to be one of the largest cockpits in its class, and this space features peerless fishing amenities like flush rod holders, rocket-launchers, a transom livewell, in-sole fish boxes, a tackle station, a fighting chair, Rupp Outriggers, Miya Epoch teaser reels, a transom lift-gate, a self-draining sole and a wash-down hose. Head to the mezzanine level to discover either a plush sofa or a wet bar with an ice-chipper, chilled storage, a sink and a Kenyon grill.
A glazed door welcomes guests into a sedate main deck salon with high-gloss cherry surfaces, carpeting, cabinet space, mood lighting and expansive side glazing. An L-shaped leather sofa to port surrounds a bespoke coffee table, while to starboard there is a J-shaped family sofa surrounding a dining table perfect for hearty breakfast and memorable evening meals. You will prepare your gourmet meals at the walk-in galley to port, where a timber sole and granite countertops are joined by a stainless-steel sink, a three-zone hob, under-counter Sub-Zero fridge-freezer units and a combination oven.
Head below deck to discover spacious sleeping quarters for up to six overnight guests across a trio of lavish cabins. A twin room with a timber-lined locker and a bedside cabinet sits to aft, alongside a master stateroom with a queen-sized bed, a full-height, integrated armoire and an en-suite with granite and cherry surfaces, mirrored medicine cabinets and an enclosed shower cubicle. A VIP stateroom sits up by the bow and features a skylight, a queen-sized island bed, hanging lockers and padded wall panels, along with a Jack-and-Jill head with a shower cubicle.
Powered by twin 1050HP MAN D2848 or MAN 1360CRM diesel inboard engines, you can expect top speeds to hit the 38-knot mark with ease, while at a smooth cruising speed of around 28 knots you will enjoy a cruising range of approximately 480 nautical miles.
