BERTRAM COVID-19 UPDATE
April 17, 2020
Like most companies around the world, we are responding to the COVID-19 crisis in a way that protects the health and welfare of our workforce. We have closed our operations until May 1 and will continue to evaluate when we can safely reopen and restart production. We continue to employ our workforce, with both salaried and hourly personnel working from home. Office personnel continue to fulfill their normal job requirements, and we are using this month to have our production personnel go through rigorous online leadership, safety, and technical education programs. Our intent is for a healthy team to come out of this crisis smarter and more capable than when we went in.

BERTRAM VARIETY
July 24, 2019
Ok, so Bertram built about 1800 of the 31's and that was surpassed only by the 2200 or so of the 28's and all toll, the number lies somewhere above 12,000 total boats, but I mean just how many different boats did they build?

SNEAK PEAK: BERTRAM 60
August 17, 2017
You won’t find me arguing about it: the rebirth of Bertram Yachts is one hell of a story. With the Bertram 35 turning heads as a modern makeover of the iconic Bertram 31, the rebirth seems to be well into its paces. But Bertram CEO Peter Truslow feels something is getting overshadowed by their relaunching of the brand: and that’s the quality of 60 on the horizon.

August 10, 2016

EYE TO EYE
June 17, 2016
Obviously I love to fish and dive and my wife knows it, but I think she is growing tired of these “chance of a lifetime” opportunities that come up as part of my “job”. Well, I cashed in another one of those chips for a “chance of a lifetime” to go to fish the Hemingway tournament in Havana, Cuba
DID YOU MISS THE LAUNCH OF THE NEW BERTRAM 35?
May 26, 2016
Looking at the pictures, you may just think that you missed the launch of our new Bertram 35 in Maine. Don’t fret! Although we are well on our way down the production line at Lyman-Morse, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to capture our scale model along the Camden waterfront during our Bertram Sneak Peek Weekend. What a sweet boat in any harbor!

PLEASE, PASS THE MUTTER
April 7, 2016
Many of the choices we’ve made have come from our interaction with you, our Bertram enthusiasts. Although please don’t be offended if we appear as if we’re not listening everybody! This week alone I received requests to make it bigger (FYI we have started development of the 58), err, make it smaller, make it faster, but speed doesn’t matter, and make my wife an interior she’ll love, and oh, stop making boats that are all about the interior.
DETAILS...DETAILS...DETAILS!
March 10, 2016
We’re hard at work making this 35 live up to the expectations of the Bertram faithful and the legacy of the brand—and by the way, that’s a pretty high standard. Rest assured that Susan, Earl, Morgan, and the team at Michael Peters Yacht Design, along with myself, eat, breathe and sleep product development. No detail has been left unturned.
DRIVEN BY EXCELLENCE
January 22, 2016
