Bertram 50
'Pleiades' is a beautifully maintained Bertram 50. Very much the benchmark for large flybridge cruisers for a generation of yachtsmen. This boat shows a great history with good owners and exceptional maintenance and care. With her polished, rich white gelcoat, to her quality exterior features, her appearance is of a much newer boat. The interior is all perfectly maintained, featuring lots of renewed fittings and brand new carpets. Replacement cost would be multiple times more than her value. This is such a nice way to buy a boat, knowing that all it requires is the same ongoing care and respect. Pleiades has been a live-aboard boat over the past ownership, and all the live at home features are there and operational. The strong GRP hull, powered by reliable Detroit diesels, make this a go anywhere, anytime vessel. There is also a survey which is current (completed Feb 2025). Your strong interest is recommended.
