2008 Bertram 700

A sizeable yacht filled with even bigger ideas.

The flagship of Bertram's intimidating armada, the Seven Hundred bears the considerable weight of its historical reputation and is a yacht capable of blasting through the tallest of seas with confidence and comfort.

Featuring exclusive Anti-rolling Gyro technology, which suppresses rolling motion and reduces rolling angle by up to 50 percent, the 700 is a battlewagon in all types of weather conditions. The deep-V hull, which set the standard for offshore excellence more than 40 years ago, coupled with the modification of the hull strakes to reduce impact at the bow of the boat, combine for a smoother ride and increased performance. With optional power, the Bertram 700 has projected cruising speeds of 35 knots.

Available as an open fly or enclosed bridge convertible, the Seven Hundred's 270 sq. ft. cockpit and substantial midship mounted 2,008- gallon fuel tank offer a combination of maneuverability, spaciousness and range certain to please the most demanding captains. The open-air flybridge offers ample storage under the seating, console and cabinets, as well as an AM/FM/CD stereo and entertainment options galore including a grill, refrigerator, sink and cold-water faucet. Navigate the yacht with pride from teak helm and companion pedestals and while guests relax in the lounge with a spacious entertainment forum. The enclosed flybridge adds stylish carpeting, a fully equipped helm station, varnished wood paneling, a full wet bar and a DVD-equipped entertainment center.

Deck surfaces coated in non-stick Awlgrip®, molded transom steps and a molded spiral staircase to the flybridge make getting about simple and safe. Frameless side windows give the yacht's profile a streamlined look, leading to the enormous self-bailing cockpit. This spacious base of operations is adorned with mezzanine seating, freezer, storage locker, and a removable fish box. The cockpit also includes dedicated storage for gaffs or tag and release poles providing organization when raising fish.

The salon is filled with rich African Mahogany cabinetry and carpeting with acoustic padding that silences the room and sets the stage for quiet nights spent in front of a Bose® home theater system complete with 42" LCD HDTV.

The 700 also features a new salon layout built with storage in mind, including an optional wet bar or standard dry bar which affords space for an additional barrel chair. With the goal of maximizing space without compromising luxury or comfort, the sofa has integrated storage compartments in the arms and an optional, built-in incliner.
