Bertram 61 Convertible Rivals

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Bertram 61 Convertible which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 6 guests with its 3 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Hatteras GT65 Carolina offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 8 guests in 4 cabins, making them better choices for those seeking to maximise the number of family and friends they can sleep onboard. However, for maximum comfort for the owner, the 61 Convertible features a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom and hull side windows. Equivalently, the Hatteras GT59 and Viking Yachts 62C also offer 3 cabins, but with facilities for 7 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family vacations.

Performance

In terms of cruising performance, the Bertram 61 Convertible leads the way with an impressive cruising speed of 19 knots thanks to its twin 1,900hp Caterpillar C32 ACERT E03 - U.S. EPA Tier 3 and IMO Tier II/III engines and maximum speed of 41 knots at 2,300rpm. Closely followed by, the Viking Yachts 58C with a respectable cruising speed of 36 knots. The Viking Yachts 62C also impresses with a cruising speed of knots. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Hatteras GT65 Carolina, with the slowest cruising speed of 36 knots, emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and enjoying the journey over the destination.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Hatteras GT65 Carolina impresses with its extensive range of 1,313 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Hatteras GT59 allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Viking Yachts 62C has an impressive gross tonnage of 43GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Bertram 61 Convertible stands out with notable features and design elements. These yachts cater to a wide range of preferences and needs, making the choice a matter of personal taste and specific requirements in the world of luxury yachting.
