Description
This 2002 Bertram 60 Convertible is a true example of offshore excellence — a powerful, elegant, and tournament-proven sportfisher presented in exceptional condition. Built on Bertram’s legendary deep-V hull, it delivers a remarkably dry and stable ride, even in demanding sea conditions.
Currently located in Jeddah, this yacht has been meticulously maintained under an annual Caterpillar service contract and remains fully operational and ready for immediate use. Powered by twin 1420 HP engines, it offers impressive cruising performance, with speeds in the high 20-knot range and a top speed exceeding 30 knots.
The Bertram 60 features a large, well-designed cockpit with professional-grade fishing amenities, a spacious salon with panoramic views, and a comfortable three-stateroom layout ideal for extended cruising or tournament campaigns. Every element reflects Bertram’s commitment to quality, durability, and performance.
A proven winner of several international fishing tournaments in the Red Sea, this vessel combines competition-level capability with luxurious comfort. Fully equipped, perfectly maintained, and priced to sell, it represents an outstanding opportunity for any discerning angler or owner seeking a turnkey sportfisher with an impeccable pedigree. Viewings are available by appointment.
Decks Walkaround
Cockpit:
Stepping aft onto the cockpit reveals a true offshore workspace — expansive, meticulously laid out, and designed for serious fishing. The wide, uncluttered deck provides generous room for crew movement, tackle staging, and tournament-level operations. Standard from the factory, the cockpit features professional fish boxes, in-deck storage, and a preparatory center suitable for extended trips.
This particular 2002 hull has been enhanced with a high-spec fighting chair, securely mounted to withstand hard fighting hours and delivering a stable platform for big game action. The chair’s placement respects both balance and workflow, keeping the angler engaged without compromising access to the transom or tackle areas.
Fore and centerline, flush hatches provide engine room access, while graded sole surfaces ensure safe footing underway or when hauling aboard catches. The addition of underwater LED lights enhances visibility at night, improving safety, attracting baitfish, and adding a visual signature that distinguishes this yacht in marina and tournament settings.
Swimplatform & Transom:
A broad swim platform extends the stern, making water access straightforward whether swinging on a tender, diving, or preparing fishing gear. Built-in ladder access and solid grab points reflect Bertram’s attention to functional details. Transom gate access ensures that boarding from the dock or water is direct and secure.
Flybridge:
The flybridge aboard this 2002 Bertram 60 has been intelligently reconfigured to support both luxury and functionality. The original dining area has been modified to allow for conversion into a lounge bed, creating a relaxing vantage point for guests or crew while underway or at anchor. This adaptation respects the underlying structural layout while offering versatility — from midday sun lounging to extended observatory seating during fishing operations.
The helm on the flybridge retains the classic wraparound layout with excellent sightlines, auxiliary electronics placement, and comfortable seating for long watches offshore.
Fordeck:
Forward on the foredeck, this yacht has been fitted with custom sunbathing cushions, providing a large, secure area to relax in passage or while at anchor. The cushions are both functional and well integrated, reflecting a balance between sportfishing capability and owner comfort — a hallmark of good offshore design.

Accomodations
The interior of the 2002 Bertram 60 Convertible reflects a design philosophy rooted in offshore functionality first, with comfort integrated where it supports extended use rather than detracts from capability. This interior is engineered to support serious long-range cruising and active fishing lifestyles, offering purposeful spaces that balance utility, comfort, and intelligent circulation.
Salon — Central Living Space:
Stepping down from the cockpit into the salon reveals a space designed for both social interaction and relaxed living offshore. The salon’s panoramic windows flood the interior with natural light and provide exceptional outward visibility — a critical feature when spending extended time at sea. The headroom and volume are generous for a convertible in this class, contributing to an open, airy feel without sacrificing structural integrity.
To port is a comfortable settee and coffee table arrangement, suitable for conversation, dining, or casual lounging. Port and starboard seating is strategically arranged to support multiple activities without obstructing circulation or access to the galley and companionways. The interior finishes are classic yet understated — rich joinery that conveys quality without excess, consistent with Bertram’s restraint-driven design ethos.
Galley — Practical & Accessible:
The galley on the 2002 Bertram 60 is located forward and to starboard of the salon, offering a functional work area for meal preparation underway or at anchor. Counter space is abundant, and storage is configured with practical accessibility in mind. Because extended offshore passages often require extended provisioning, the cabinetry and refrigeration systems reflect an understanding of real use rather than decorative excess.
Fixtures are robust and purpose-built, and the layout supports multiple cooks or meal planners working simultaneously without impeding traffic through the main living space.
Accommodations — Three Staterooms & Three Heads:
The 60 Convertible’s below-decks accommodations are laid out to support crew, guests, and owners in comfort while maintaining sensible separation between private and service spaces.
Master Stateroom
The master stateroom is located amidships, benefitting from the yacht’s greatest beam and offering the most spacious sleeping area. A well-appointed berth, abundant storage, and generous lighting create a sense of permanence rather than simply overnights at sea. The ensuite head features a dedicated shower stall, freshwater head, and solid surfaces that combine durability with ease of maintenance.
Guest Stateroom
Forward of the master lies the guest stateroom(s), flexibly with twin berths . Storage solutions are both clever and thoughtfully positioned, reducing clutter without compromising living space. Head access for guest cabins is practical and located for minimum traffic through central areas.
Crew / Utility Space
The third stateroom can serve as dedicated crew quarters or as flexible living space for additional guests. Its proximity to mechanical access points and systems allows service personnel to operate with reduced disruption to salon or cabins while maintaining comfortable quarters.
Heads & Plumbing:
Each stateroom has dedicated access to its own head, ensuring privacy and practicality during extended stays aboard. The heads are functional in layout — easy to keep clean, well-ventilated, and constructed with materials selected for offshore durability. Showers are appropriately sized, with drainage and waterproofing engineered for real sea use.
HVAC & Environmental Comfort:
Air conditioning and ventilation systems are sized to serve the entire interior volume adequately, recognizing that tropical and subtropical cruising grounds demand reliable climate control. Ventilation ducts and controls are positioned to support staged comfort zones, allowing owners and guests to tailor cooling or heat to their needs without unnecessary energy expenditure.
Flow & Accessibility — Design Logic:
Throughout the interior, circulation is intentional. Walkways, companionways, and stair wells are dimensioned to allow movement under both calm and offshore conditions without feeling constrained. Handholds and rail placements are practical rather than decorative, and transitions between spaces respect how people actually live aboard.
One of the defining strengths of the Bertram 60 interior is how it blends working offshore utility with residential comfort. There is no false promise of luxury for its own sake; rather, the interior is functional, well-lit, intelligently ventilated, and oriented toward usability. This is a space designed to support real offshore lifestyles — long runs, multiple occupants, and the rigors of daily use — without compromising structural logic or operational access.
