Bertram 26 Flybridge Sport Fisher "Captain Grumpy"

Bertram 26 Flybridge Sports Fisher – Fully Rebuilt, Turn-Key Offshore Package

Originally built in America in 1986, this Bertram 26 Flybridge Sports Fisher has undergone an extensive professional rebuild and refit, creating a genuine turn-key offshore fishing and family cruising vessel.
