Deal Maker - Bertram Yacht FOR SALE

2012 Bertram 60 “Deal Maker”

Twin CAT C-32 1850 HP | 17' beam | Dual Northern Lights 20 kW generators

Meet Deal Maker, a custom 60’ Bertram that blends relentless sportfishing capability with luxury motor yacht refinement. Driven by twin Caterpillar C-32 diesels, she sprints to 40 knots and comfortably cruises at 36 knots, putting you on the bite fast. A broad 17’ beam delivers rock-solid stability offshore, while 1,822 gallons of fuel extend her bluewater range. Redundant 20 kW Northern Lights gensets ensure dependable onboard power. With a shallow 4’7” draft enhanced by custom prop pockets, this convertible sportfish can confidently work shallower approaches without sacrificing performance.

Inside, the galley—forward to port—pairs blue marble counters with rich cherry cabinetry and premium appliances: a KitchenAid 4-burner cooktop, Emerson microwave, and dual Sub-Zero 700BR drawer sets. Electric blinds add instant privacy. The salon invites you to unwind with an Avanti wine cooler, storage-rich L-settee, Hi-Lo table, and a Samsung flatscreen. Up top, the open flybridge is all about comfort and control, offering full heat and AC, molded seating, and generous stowage. Below, the tournament-ready cockpit is built for serious angling—an Eskimo ice maker producing 850 lbs/day, a transom livewell, and a Kenyon electric grill create the ultimate setup for offshore gamefishing. A true bluewater battlewagon and convertible sportfisher, Deal Maker is the ideal blend of speed, range, and elegance.

Hull

Beneath the waterline, five‑blade nickel‑aluminum bronze propellers deliver refined thrust and quiet efficiency, fed cleanly by Sendure scoop strainers on the intakes for unwavering reliability. Dual‑cylinder trim tabs carve attitude with precision, while a robust transom door stands ready for effortless boarding and big‑game action.

Decks & superstructure

A deep‑V form with thoughtfully modified prop pockets and keel delivers a poised, sea‑kindly ride, all executed in molded fiberglass composite with a luminous white gelcoat finish. Fixed side windows and an aft bulkhead window bathe the interior in light, while engine‑room vents discreetly integrated into the aft pilasters keep machinery breathing freely. Safe movement is assured by welded anodized aluminum bow rails and matching grab rails along the superstructure, and a cabin‑trunk hatch opens directly into the VIP stateroom. Fueling is practical and balanced with two diesel fuel fill plates to port and two to starboard. Offshore pedigree shows in Pipewelders triple‑spreader hydraulic outriggers with bridge release, partnered by a molded bow anchor pulpit in composite with a stainless‑steel roller and a Lewmar vertical windlass with capstan and wildcat, commanded via two foot switches. Mooring hardware is robust and purposeful, with port and starboard bow cleats without chocks and two spring cleats per side, while water fill and waste pump‑out are neatly handled at the dedicated deck plate.

Bridge deck

An open flybridge crowns the yacht with a molded composite structure that integrates a clean helm console and generous seating. Molded seats with plush cushions conceal ample storage, and full‑enclosure curtains on all sides, in EZ2CY‑type clarity, transform the space into a protected command center. Pedestal‑mounted helm and companion chairs with cushions and footrests support effortless passages, under a welded anodized aluminum half‑tower with molded canopy. Navigation lights sit to port and starboard in the forward corners of the molded hardtop, while a dual‑beam searchlight on the bridge canopy pierces the night. Anodized aluminum railings ring the aft deck with integrated rod holders and a secure ladder down to the cockpit. Technology rides aloft with the radar scanner and KVH TracVision and TracPhone on the canopies, DC breaker panels tucked neatly inside the console, LED cockpit floodlights casting brilliant working light, an anchor light mounted on a signal pole atop the hardtop, and teaser reels concealed within the bridge‑canopy locker. For the anglers, eight rod holders line the aft rails, ready for the strike.

Cockpit

The working heart of the yacht is a molded cockpit finished in white gelcoat, with washboards seamlessly formed with the house and decks for a unified, wipe‑clean surface. A padded coaming bolster wraps the action area, complemented by a live‑well in the transom and a center‑aft refrigerated fishbox with a split hatch. Port and starboard deck hatches with removable boxes grant clean access to the lazarette, while a molded mezzanine deck offers a cushioned bench seat with a refrigerated box beneath and direct engine‑room access within the mezzanine bench. Under the mezzanine, dedicated storage includes lockers, a box to receive Eskimo Ice, two tackle drawers, and a Kenyon electric grill housed beneath the starboard outboard locker. The lazarette itself is shipshape, with steering cylinder, rudder feedback, trim‑tab reservoir and additional stowage. A custom Battle Saddle Fighting Chair stands as the centerpiece for serious angling. Molded steps lead up to a hinged door into the main saloon with storage under the treads, and separate molded steps rise to the side decks. A transom door with a hinged cap, discreet courtesy lights, and 50‑Amp shore cords on Cable Master to port and starboard enhance functionality, while stern cleats to port and starboard with hawse pipes in the washboards and freshwater and seawater hose bibs to port complete this impeccably equipped arena.

Electric

Power autonomy is assured by two 20 kW Northern Lights generators and a robust bank of Deka 8A31DTM batteries. Charging is fast and flexible via two 24V/60A units and one 12V/70 charger, while shorepower quality is optimized through two Charles Iso‑Boost 50 transformers, delivering stable, protected electricity to every onboard system.

Navigation equipment

From the helm, three Simrad touchscreen multi‑function displays integrate radar, color sounder and AIS, all housed in an electronics console on a lift that stows neatly out of the weather. A Simrad autopilot and a dual‑beam searchlight expand command capability, with dual air horns for clear signaling. Communications are crisp through two ICOM VHF units, while Quick Shift electric single‑lever engine controls and a Ritchie compass provide intuitive, precise handling. CAT LED engine panels convey vital data at a glance, and four transducers, fitted port and starboard in the engine room, feed the navigation suite with accurate depth and fish‑finding intelligence.

Air conditioning

Climate comfort is delivered by two Webasto Blue Cool V Series condensing units in the engine room, governed by digital controls at each evaporator for pinpoint temperature tuning. A seawater cooling pump with strainer ensures reliable heat exchange, while a chilled‑water circulation pump forward in the engine room maintains silent, even cooling throughout the yacht.

Pumps

Fluid systems are comprehensively engineered, beginning with two sumps/tanks beneath the cabin sole and one in the engine room, and a network of six Rule automatic bilge pumps for vigilant dewatering. Freshwater pressure is constant thanks to a Mach 5 pump with an accumulator tank under the cabin sole, complemented by a dedicated seawater washdown pump. In the engine room forward, three refrigeration seawater pumps and one air‑conditioning seawater pump sustain cold chains and climate, all feeding from a stainless‑steel auxiliary sea chest centered forward. A chilled‑water circulation pump supports the air‑conditioning loop, while specialized service includes a livewell pump and a fishbox discharge pump. Waste management is robust with three black‑water macerators in the forward bilges. Fuel logistics are streamlined by a transfer pump in the engine room, and endurance is extended by a Watermakers Inc system forward in the machinery space. Steering precision is assured by an autopilot steering pump and a 24V hydraulic steering pump, both located to starboard outboard in the engine room. For the catch and the galley, an Eskimo Ice making unit sits port aft, paired with two Dometic refrigeration units in the same quadrant, and sanitation is completed by three Headhunter Royal Flush units.

Entertainment equipment

Onboard entertainment rises to the occasion with a KVH sat TV system feeding a Harman Kardon AVR‑125 in the saloon paired with a TDK DA 5700 CD, while a Samsung TV in the saloon with DVD player sets the scene for movie nights. Private retreats include an LG flatscreen in the bow stateroom and a Samsung flatscreen in the master stateroom with DVD player and JVC stereo/CD, ensuring every space resonates with picture and sound.

Main saloon & galley

The main saloon welcomes with a carpet overlay aft and the warm look of simulated teak and holly laminate at the entry and throughout the galley, where wood cabinetry supports marble or granite countertops and an undermount sink, with storage both above and below the counters. Culinary finesse is assured by a KitchenAid four‑burner stovetop and an Emerson microwave in an over‑counter cabinet, supported by two SubZero 700BR drawer sets and an Avanti wine cooler in the saloon. Opposite the galley, a dining settee rises one step for an elevated view. Electric blinds grace the windows, and a clean vinyl headliner with flush‑mounted lights completes the ambiance. Aft to port, an L‑sofa with under‑seat storage surrounds a Hi/Lo coffee table, while a TV on a lift emerges elegantly from starboard‑side cabinetry for cinematic flair.
