Owner Experience Review
Owners and brokers consistently describe the 46fromBertram Yachtas a tournament‑capable offshore convertible that also serves well for family cruising and weekend leisure. Across its production run, interiors vary: many boats feature a mid‑ship master, 2–3 staterooms and 2–3 heads, and some layouts place the galley up. A significant portion of the fleet has been refit or converted for charter, with repowers and interior refreshes common.
On the water, the deep‑V, heavy hull earns strong praise for rough‑weather composure—some owners go as far as, "I've never run into a better rough water boat." The flip side is that it’s often called "a very wet boat" for the spray it throws, though the ride resists pounding. It is sensitive to trim and weight distribution, tends to feel more efficient at higher RPMs, and many examples with original engines are viewed as underpowered.
Day‑to‑day ownership reflects classic convertible realities. Older interiors often need updating—upholstery, cabinets, galley work, and AC replacements are typical—and some later boats use fold‑up salon stairs that keep the space tidy but complicate engine‑room access routing. Pre‑Ferretti boats are often noted for solid bottoms, while some later Ferretti‑era boats had cored bottoms, so surveys should address core and blister issues. Electrical systems on some boats remain 32‑volt and are awkward to source or costly to convert, and generator placement varies by year; aft‑deck installations can corrode and complicate access, while others sit forward of the engines. Repowers (Cat/Cummins/Man) are common and can markedly improve cruise efficiency, though they are a significant investment.
Pros and Cons
- Deep‑V, heavy hull delivers a comfortable, confidence‑inspiring ride in rough water.
- Versatile interior plans (often 2–3 staterooms with a mid‑ship master, some galley‑up) suit family cruising.
- Proven offshore fishability and range for extended runs and tournament use.
- Often described as a very wet boat that throws a lot of spray.
- Sensitive to trim and weight distribution, and many original‑power boats feel underpowered.
- Age‑related upkeep can include 32V electricals, generator access/corrosion, and survey attention to cored bottoms and blisters.
