Bertram 54: BoatTEST Review
Overview
Bertram Yachts, traditionally known for their rugged and high-performance sport fishing boats, have evolved their 54-foot model to appeal to a broader audience including young couples and families. The redesign focuses on enhancing livability and versatility, transforming the vessel into an attractive option for both extreme fishing and casual cruising or entertainment.
Interior Living Spaces
A significant innovation in the 54-footer's interior is the reintroduction of forward-facing windows in the main salon, a feature not seen in sport fishing boats since 1986. These windows provide abundant natural light, brightening the interior which was previously dark and cave-like. To address heat concerns historically associated with such windows, the salon is equipped with two 16,000 BTU air conditioning units that maintain a comfortable temperature. The air conditioning system itself is thoughtfully designed with open overhead vents that evenly distribute cooled air throughout the space, eliminating the discomfort caused by individual vents blowing cold air unevenly.
Galley and Salon Layout
Bertram introduced a novel 'galley aft' concept, positioning the galley at the rear of the salon rather than the traditional 'galley up' or 'galley down' arrangements. This layout opens up the salon, creating a more spacious environment and integrating the galley with the cockpit area. A convenient drop-down window allows for easy food service to the cockpit without the cook having to leave the action, enhancing social interaction and functionality.
Private Accommodations
The master stateroom, located to starboard, features a queen-size island berth with overhead rod storage and a pull-out vanity beneath the television. It includes an en suite head and benefits from ample natural light. Both the master and guest staterooms feature large hall side windows composed of multiple layers of glass molded into the hull, serving both aesthetic and structural purposes. To port, the guest stateroom is arranged with L-shaped bunks, providing a practical seating area to comfortably put on shoes without head clearance issues. A day head with teak and holly flooring, a full-size stall shower, mirrored overhead, and both AC and DC lighting serves the guest and forward VIP staterooms. The VIP stateroom at the bow also offers a queen-size island berth, generous natural and LED lighting, and abundant storage in lower and overhead cabinets. Additional conveniences include an over-under washer and dryer at the bottom of the companionway and a storage compartment with an all-gripped finish on the companionway deck.
Conclusion
Bertram's thoughtful departures from conventional sport fishing boat design have resulted in a vessel that balances performance with enhanced livability and functionality. The 54-footer is equally suited for deep sea fishing excursions and leisurely weekend island cruises. Its innovative features, such as forward-facing salon windows, the galley aft layout, and large hull-integrated windows, set a new standard that may influence future designs in this category. Bertram continues to demonstrate its commitment to pioneering design solutions in the sport fishing yacht market.
