1978 Bertram 31 Flybridge Cruiser

Perhaps no boat in power boating history has equaled the worldwide popularity of the original deep-V - the Bertram 31. Key to the continued popularity of the Bertram 31 on the used boat market is her legendary rough water sea keeping ability and her rugged construction. The last Bertram 31 was built in 1986, yet the iconic design remains popular and many continue to be refurbished. 

Majesty was taken down to her bare hull in 2010 and was re-wired and re-plumbed. A new fuel tank was installed and she features a fiberglass cockpit deck and a transom fish box. She also features a custom teak interior, custom flybridge with single lever controls, and a diesel generator. Also, spray rails were added to her bottom and she is much drier than the traditional Bertram 31.

Majesty has been lift kept by her current owner and has been well maintained.  If you are looking for a 31 Bertram that is ready to go....This is one you need to see.

The Bertram 31 went into production in 1961. Over 2,000 31's were built in her two decades of production. Majesty is a flybridge cruiser model - meaning she has the cabin bulkhead aft and a stand-up head.

Known for their large and spacious cockpit and a highly functional cabin as well. Her diesel generator provides for air-conditioning while on the water, along with other 120v systems on board.

While known for their great sea-keeping ability, the Bertram 31 also has a reputation as being a wet boat. However, Majesty had spray rails added and she is a much dryer Bertram 31!
