Bertram is one of the most established American names in offshore yacht building, with roots firmly anchored in performance and seaworthiness. Founded in 1960 by Richard Bertram, the shipyard emerged from competitive offshore racing, where a revolutionary deep-V hull design reshaped expectations of speed, stability, and control at sea. The launch of the Bertram 31 quickly set a new standard and positioned the brand at the forefront of sportfishing and performance yachts.

Over the decades, Bertram evolved through multiple ownership phases, each contributing to its technical and commercial development. A significant milestone came in 1998 when the brand joined the Ferretti Group, introducing global production expertise and contemporary design thinking. More recently, under the Gavio Group, Bertram has reinforced its heritage while investing in new models that reflect modern owner expectations.

Today Bertram operates from Tampa, Florida, offering a focused range of offshore-capable yachts. From center consoles to convertible sport yachts, every model reflects the brand’s long-standing priorities: confident handling, structural integrity, and dependable performance in open-water conditions.
