The 1974 Bertram 46' is a classic example of the design and construction that established Bertram as one of the most respected names in offshore boating. Built with the exceptionally solid, heavy construction and proven deep-V hull for which Bertram is known, the 46' offers a combination of seaworthiness, stability, and confidence offshore that has stood the test of time. She has been recreationally owned and operated in Southern California for at least the past decade and is presented in great overall condition, with a decorated history behind her.
The 46' provides a substantial and versatile layout, with a spacious cockpit well suited for fishing and entertaining, a comfortable salon, and a starboard-side step-down galley. Below, the two-stateroom configuration provides comfortable accommodations for extended time aboard, while the head and interior living spaces make the boat equally practical for cruising. The flybridge provides an elevated helm station with FURUNO electronics and additional space for guests. Custom rod storage and a davit system add to the boat's functionality as a capable fishing platform, while the generous cockpit and exterior spaces provide ample room for equipment, fishing gear, or entertaining.
For a Southern California owner, the Bertram 46' is an excellent platform for the local fishery while retaining the capability to venture offshore when conditions and ambitions call for it. Her timeless hull design, substantial construction, and practical layout are complemented by the reputation of the Bertram name-a brand long associated with offshore performance, durability, and quality. This is a classic Bertram with the size, pedigree, and versatility to continue serving a wide range of uses for her next owner.
