Bertram 35 Flybridge

1983 Bertram 35 Flybridge - Eagle III

A rare Australian-built Bertram 35, beautifully restored and ready for her next custodian.

Eagle III is a truly special example of the iconic Bertram 35 Flybridge, featuring the highly sought-after Mark I hull, built locally in Melbourne by International Marine in 1983.

With approximately four owners from new, her current owner undertook an extensive restoration between 2019 and 2021, investing over $450,000 in reciepts to bring this classic Bertram back to her former glory while carefully retaining the character and original features that make her so special.

Renowned for their exceptional seakeeping ability, the Bertram 35 hull has earned its reputation as a serious offshore boat, and Eagle III is a wonderful example of why.

Her restoration includes:

Refurbished master cabin with V-berth
Refurbished twin side cabin
Electric toilet and separate shower
Custom International Marine hardtop with brand-new four-sided clears
Original 6.5kVA Onan generator, still operational
Fully restored salon with new cushions, carpet and curtains, while retaining the original seating and table
Refurbished galley with new fridge and microwave
Restored cockpit helm, retaining much of its original equipment
Refurbished flybridge with new cushions, flooring and helm stations
Original twin Volvo 250HP turbo-diesel engines, partially rebuilt and restored
Complete electrical rewire and new bonding system
A detailed photographic and video record of the restoration was also documented, with a YouTube series created to showcase Eagle III's transformation.

More than simply a boat, Eagle III represents a significant piece of Australian-built Bertram history. She has been exceptionally well cared for and restored with the intention of preserving her for decades to come.

Now, she is ready for her next custodian -- someone who will continue to enjoy, maintain and appreciate this remarkable vessel for the next 40 years.

Rare Mark I hull. Australian built. Extensively restored. Truly one of a kind.

Serious Bertram enthusiasts will appreciate just how special this opportunity is.
