Blues Chaser is a classic 1977 46’ Bertram that looks nothing like like another Bertram from that time period. In the early 2000’s this boat was extensively remodeled. The old Detroit Diesels were replaced with 500 HP Yanmar diesel engines and electronic throttles. At the same time, the boat was completely redone inside to include a 45 inch flatscreen TV, surround sound and all new wood and carpet. All electronics were replaced with Garmin in 2016

EXTRENMELY CLEAN, TWO-OWNER AN FRESH WATER BERTRAM 42' MOTOR YACHT!! ONLY 720 original hours on Twin Mercruiser 340HP engines. Great live aboard yacht that has been very well maintained and in exceptional condition. Second owner has owned for over 30 years and has always been professionally maintained and inside heated winter stored by current owners.                                         MORE DETAILS AND PHOTOS COMING SOON. 

Speak Easy is a 1979 Bertram 38 Convertible III.  Current owners keep Speak Easy in a covered well during the summer and in indoor storage in the winter.  Speak Easy is powered by twin Crusaders 454XLs.  Current owners use ethanol free gasoline.  Oil, oil filters, and gasoline filters are changed every boating season.  The hull is waxed every off season.       While an Onan generator is in place, the current owners have not tried to use it, for the current owners purchased Speak Easy with the understanding that the generator no longer works.  Similarly, for the older electronics, like the autopilot system, the current owners have not tried to use those.  Speak Easy does come with a Raymarine GPS chartplotter and sounder, two VHF radios, a windlass, three refrigerators, an electric stove top, a Vacuflush head, a Black and Decker washer, and a canvas package, which includes a backdrop piece.  In 2020, the duck bill valves and bowl seal in the Vacuflush head were replaced, the aft bilge pump was replaced, many of the electrical outlets in the cabin were upgraded to GFCI, and the cabin lighting was upgraded.  In 2021, the stuffing boxes were repacked, the washer was installed and the VHF antenna was replaced.  In October of 2021, the bottom was painted using Pettit Bio-Blue and Pettit Hydrocoat.  In 2022, the size 8D starting battery and the size 31 house battery were replaced and the teak steps on the bridge ladder were stripped, sanded, and varnished. Current owners have paid for indoor winter storage, which begins on September 15 (and continues to early May 2023).  So, you will not have to scramble to find a spot for winter.  Current owners love Speak Easy, but do not currently have the time for boating or fishing.                  

The legendary Moontide is once again for sale. This 1962 Bertram 31 Flybridge is a timeless classic. Boasting a full refit by Huckins in 2008, with an open check-book for maintenance ever since. She has been featured in magazines and articles that are all over the internet and print. Few modern day boats ever reach “icon” status. The 31 Bertram is certainly the quintessential Legend. A favourite by lodges and guides across the globe for their fishability, comfort, and economy. The current owner is looking to pass her on after years of enjoyment on the gulf. She is currently undergoing light maintenance at Saunder Yacht Works. She will be available for viewing on Ono Island in Orange Beach, Alabama.  All showings require a minimum of 3 days notice!
