Project: Bertram 800

A new chapter in Bertram history, as this legendary US builder introduces the 800, soon to be new flagship of the fleet and its largest built to date. After years of advanced research and development, Bertram has decided to take luxury to the next level and build a sport fishing yacht of remarkable proportions, leading its range into the future of sport fishing. The 800 will deliver extreme power performance of a sport fishing vessel while exuding ultimate luxury, adhering to customer requests from all the world for various uses that are preferred in a broad range of countries across the globe. Bertram 800 will feature new technology, like advanced forward and hull window design that is constructed with multiple layers of tempered glass. The forward window design actually brightens the interior of the salon while the hull windows are reinforced directly into the fiberglass hull for optimal hull strength. This state of the art window technology was exclusively designed and tested by Advanced Yacht Technology to resist the roughest fishing conditions across the oceans. At high speeds, the rapid formation and collapse of vapor pockets from the water can cause cavitation, a common cause of structural damage to propellers for any boat manufacturer. AYT has successfully identified how to modify the struts in order to dissipate cavitation's, thereby minimizing maintenance issues, gaining better fuel economy and enhancing engine performance. The 800 will also feature the exclusive ARG Anti-rolling Gyro technology, suppressing rolling motion and reduces rolling angle by up to 50 percent, enabling guests to enjoy smoother and more pleasant rides. In order to maximize all space on board and create more comfortable living space in both the interior and exterior of the yacht, the 800 has been designed with a generous, extended cockpit that provides ample space for many activities or entertainment on board. The cockpit is configured for an L-shaped mezzanine lounge seating with a fixed cockpit table, becoming an essential entertainment and relaxation area. A supplementary day head will also be integrated into the main salon level for easier use from guests in the cockpit. This yacht will be endowed with beautiful white oak wood as a standard and optional exotic African mahogany for the interiors. The ultra luxurious full beam master will offer sweeping views with its large porthole windows, which surround the master suite. The 800 will feature a four cabin layout and will offer multiple optional plans for the master staterooms than can be customized upon request. Layouts offer multiple crew cabin quarters that can also be modified. The first, an aft crew cabin for two, can be accessed from the cockpit with additional entry to the engine room. Second optional crew cabin is located forward of the galley, which is perfect to accommodate a hostess, or personal chef. For those who would rather opt for extra storage space, this optional crew cabin can also be converted into a large walk-in pantry. This Super Sportfish vessel will be built for supreme sport fishing and Bertram is known to make fishing a comfortable experience, providing a fully equipped yacht for all needs. Longitudinal fish boxes will be placed next to the fighting chair to easily store any catch of the day and larger rod locker storage on the port side will be incorporated under the spiral staircase for access from the cockpit mezzanine area. Breaking into the future of sport fishing, the Bertram 800 will undoubtedly set a new precedent for the sport fishing industry.
