Bertram Yacht; cover, cost and conditions

Bertram builds offshore fishing boats in Florida, and the Bertram 31 of 1961 is the boat that established the deep V hull form in sports boat construction. Well preserved 31s are sought after classics today with stable values; the current Convertible models between 12 and 17 metres are top class sportfishers. Both groups need an agreed value, but for different reasons.

With the classic, the value lies in the state of preservation and in the restoration; without a survey and an agreed value, hull insurance pays practically nothing in the event of a total loss. With the modern Convertible it lies in the equipment: tower, outriggers, radar, livewell, fighting chair. This equipment reaches six figure sums and belongs separately in the sum insured, with technical equipment and electronics as their own items.

Questions and answers

Frequent questions

How do I insure a classic and a modern sportfisher boat differently?

For Bertram: With the classic, the agreed value based on a survey determines the hull value.

With the modern boat the equipment is the larger block,

and it belongs separately in the sum insured.

The cover that fits

For Bertram: What matters for motorboats and sports boats is the same across every brand;

engine output, how a claim is settled, cruising range and theft protection.

What this means for the cover

As the Bertram 35 and Bertram 39 to 54 by Bertram series are still in production,

parts are available and repair costs are predictable.

Even so, value it at replacement cost including retrofitted electronics, not at list price.

For the Bertram 31 (classic) by Bertram series there is no list price left.

That is why we work with an agreed value: you state the figure, we agree it,

and in a total loss exactly that amount is paid, with no deduction for wear.

For the Bertram 35, Bertram 39 to 54 by Bertram series:

On motor yachts the drive and the electronics together make up about half the value.

Both belong in the valuation, otherwise the sum insured is too low.

For the Bertram 31 (classic) by Bertram series:

On a motorboat the drive is the single most valuable part.

Damage after grounding is covered, an engine failure from wear is not.
