One of Bertram’s most successful boats, the 42 convertible needs no introduction to tournament anglers or seasoned cruisers.  Heavily built on a deep-V design with an impressive deadrise, this Bertram is a true classic with superb sea keeping capabilities and superb fishability.  Her long range cruising capability and top quality construction have earned the 42' Bertram convertible her first-class reputation among boats.

This boat is located on the Chesapeake Bay near Annapolis, Maryland.

For all its tranquil lines and sensuous styling, the Bertram 42 Convertible is one hardworking, practical boat. It handles tough weather like a seasoned pro. Bertram's high-tech engineering and tough construction give this 42-footer all the strength and durability one could ask for without slowing her down. She has an extended cruising range and a top speed of over 30 miles an hour.

The salon features beautiful fabrics and teak veneer accent luxury features.  It is encircled by windows, yielding commanding visibility and allowing maximum sunlight.  It has a leather double sleeper sofa and two salon swivel barrel chairs.  Entertainment electronics have been updated with Samsung flatscreen television, Sony stereo receiver, and Samsung DVD/CD player.

The galley offers a myriad of space and can be equipped to create anything from simple sandwiches to gourmet meals.  A full-size residential refrigerator and a range with oven and a microwave are only a few standard features. What passengers don't notice right away is all the additional space. There is a pantry that's more than handy, an above-counter sliding locker for additional storage, even a hidden storage opening through a countertop hatch.

Continuing below is a master stateroom that's high, wide and handsome.  It features a large full sized queen bed, built-in drawer storage, a large hanging locker, and a private entrance to the head.

The head is large with an enormous vanity and separate shower stall.  The head has two entries – a door from the companionway, and a second private door for access directly from the master stateroom.

The forward guest cabin makes imaginative use of space, with two extra-large v-berths, abundant storage below, and a hanging locker.
