When in 2015, the Gavio Group purchased Bertram Yachts they vowed to restore its once known fame and quality. The first plan for the company was to prove its dedication to the Bertram legacy by introducing a modern Bertram 35, based on the timeless foundation and success of the original Bertram 31 that brought the company and offshore boaters a vessel that invented  the state of the industry in present-day. The 35 flybridge was introduced in September 2016 and received instant and overwhelming success. Bertram is committed to using state-of-the-art materials and innovative construction techniques crucial to building the best boat on the water. Construction on all models features 100% infused hulls with Kevlar reinforcements and all FRP components are built with vinylester resins. The premium materials used in construction are the foundation for the unparalleled performance, durability, and longevity of each Bertram hull.
