UNWIND

2024 VOLVO PENTA D11 REPOWER - APPROX. 120 HOURS

UNWIND offers a rare opportunity to combine the legendary offshore construction and sea-going reputation of a classic Bertram 46 Convertible with nearly new modern diesel power. In 2024, the yacht was repowered with Volvo Penta D11 diesel engines, which currently have only approximately 120 hours of use.

For a California offshore fisherman, that is a particularly important distinction. Many classic convertibles still rely on engines that are decades old and may eventually require major overhaul or replacement. UNWIND has already undergone that substantial investment, giving the next owner a proven Bertram hull with a dramatically refreshed mechanical foundation.

The Bertram 46 is well suited to California coastal and offshore fishing. Her deep-V hull, substantial displacement and wide 16-foot beam provide the solid, confidence-inspiring platform desirable when running outside the Golden Gate, crossing the Potato Patch, heading toward the Farallon Islands or making longer offshore runs in search of salmon, albacore and bluefin tuna.

Her large cockpit was designed for serious fishing and provides generous room for multiple anglers, bait systems, tackle and fish handling. Triple-spreader Lee outriggers, extensive rod storage, numerous rocket launchers, live-bait capability and fresh- and salt-water washdowns further reinforce her sportfishing credentials.

With approximately 620 gallons of fuel capacity, UNWIND also offers the endurance required for longer West Coast runs. The elevated flybridge gives excellent visibility for spotting birds, kelp paddies and surface activity while providing the skipper a commanding view when maneuvering on fish.

Unlike many dedicated offshore fishing boats, UNWIND also provides comfortable accommodations for extended trips. Her two-stateroom, two-head interior, spacious salon and full galley allow an owner and crew to spend several days aboard in genuine comfort.

The combination is difficult to duplicate: classic Bertram offshore construction, a large and proven sportfishing platform, extensive fishing equipment, and 2024 Volvo Penta D11 diesels with only about 120 hours. For a buyer who wants the substance and sea manners of a traditional Bertram without assuming the usual risks associated with aging original machinery, UNWIND stands apart.
