Bertram Caribbean 42 Flybridge Cruiser Just Listed

This 1990 Bertram Caribbean 42 Flybridge Cruiser is a true classic, built in Australia under licence by International Marine. She carries the legendary Bertram deep-V hull, a design that earned its reputation for handling rough offshore conditions. She was built to head wide for a day's fishing and then cruise home in comfort, and today she offers that same Bertram ride and big-boat presence at a fraction of the cost of a newer vessel. A perfect Rottnest weekender, offshore fishing platform or family cruiser!

The cockpit is set up for fishing and entertaining, with a full transom, marlin board and transom door for easy access to the water. A stainless-framed awning with drop-down shade screens keeps guests comfortable on hot days, and twin Bennett trim tabs keep her running level offshore. Up top, the flybridge features a hardtop with clears and a second helm station for excellent visibility when cruising, fishing or berthing. The Zodiac tender is stowed aft, ready for trips ashore.

Stepping inside, the saloon offers a comfortable lounge and dinette with large windows, plus the convenience of a lower helm station for cruising in any weather. The galley is well equipped with a Miele oven, Bosch 4-hob electric cooktop, Toshiba microwave, U-Tec fridge and Raritan icemaker, so everything you need for extended trips is on board. The dinette converts into an additional double and the lounge converts into two single bunks, making her ideal for families and fishing crews.

Powered by twin Detroit Diesel 6V92TA engines on shaft drives, this Bertram has the reliable, proven power these classic boats are known for. Her maintenance has been well kept up, with an annual service completed by White Knight Marine in September 2026. A 2023 insurance survey found her in sound condition and seaworthy.

Below deck, the master cabin features a double bed and private ensuite, while the forward cabin offers a V-berth with two upper bunks. There are two electric toilets, with plenty of storage throughout.
