This totally custom Bertram Caribe was professionally rebuilt from its original 1968 bare hull up in 2003 and 2004 to a very high standard by master craftsmen. Only her hull and superstructure are original. The flying bridge structure was rebuilt custom as well as the aft main cabin bulkhead and much more. She was repowered, rewired, and had her generator replaced as well as has a completely custom built interior all executed to a very high style and standard exceeding that of the original Bertram build. She would be an ideal purchase for a Bertram legacy officianato. Recent survey 11/'18.
