The 23-Degree Standard: Bertram’s High-Velocity Fleet Descends on Miami
The Florida Deployment
From February 11 to 15, 2026, the Miami International Boat Show will serve as the staging ground for Bertram’s latest generation of offshore interceptors. With a history that has defined the deep-V hull since 1960, the brand is arriving with a curated lineup designed for serious anglers and coastal cruisers alike. This appearance is more than a display; it is a declaration of the brand’s commitment to building rugged, dependable hulls that remain unfazed by wind, rain, or waves.
34CC: The Center of Attention
At the heart of the display is the Bertram 34CC, a vessel engineered specifically for the dedicated fisherman. Featuring a razor-sharp 23-degree transom deadrise, this 35-foot hull is designed to slice through chop with surgical precision. Powered by twin Mercury Verado 350 V10s, it delivers up to 1,050 HP, providing the velocity needed to hit the offshore grounds before the fleet. The layout is purely functional: insulated fish boxes, ample storage, and three wide helm seats ensure the crew stays comfortable during high-speed transits.
The 39CC: Fighting Fish First
For those requiring even more volume, the 39CC sets the benchmark for offshore comfort. This machine is built to fight fish first, utilizing a 13’3″ beam to create a stable social and angling platform. With triple Mercury V10 power and a 500-gallon fuel capacity, the 39CC is a wildly capable coastal cruiser that handles foul weather without compromising the safety of the 12 passengers on board. It represents a refined balance of strength and modern design for those who live for the open water.
A Modern Take on the Classic 31
The spirit of the iconic Bertram 31 lives on in the new 35. This modern interpretation features a beamier, longer hull and is powered by twin 507 mHP CAT C7.1 engines. It blends the innovative amenities of the current era—including a Seakeeper 6 for ultimate stability—with the classic “salty” profile that made Bertram a household name. The cockpit takes up nearly half the boat’s length, providing a massive workspace for landing record catches.
The Heavy-Hitters: 50S and 61C
The fleet’s heavy-duty segment is led by the 50S and the 61C. The 50S is a 51-foot powerhouse built to stand up to anything the sea can throw at it, featuring twin 1150 mHP CATs and a Seakeeper 9. Meanwhile, the 61C stands as the ultimate bluewater machine. Boasting twin 1925 mHP CAT C32 Acerts and a massive 1,700-gallon fuel capacity, this vessel is tailor-made for open-water endeavors where foul weather gear is optional thanks to the enclosed bridge logic.
The Miami Verdict
As Bertram prepares to open its build slots for the coming year, the Miami show remains the best opportunity to experience the “Bertram Difference”. Every material, color, and finish is hand-selected by craftsmen who are boaters themselves, ensuring that every detail—no matter how small—is entirely intentional. For the owner-operator who values authenticity and quality over ordinary designs, the message from the Miami docks is clear: leave the ordinary in your wake.
