Sea Eagle III is on the market again, and is currently undergoing a refit by her current owners. More photos & videos coming soon, as her refit continues! Sea Eagle III began her life as a 58' Bertram, built in 1977.

ARCHIVED: This is a previously listed vessel and is no longer offered for sale If you would like assistance locating a similar vessel, Click Here to contact the listing broker.

THIS OWNER IS HIGHLY MOTIVATED The gorgeous classic Bertram 42 Motor Yacht combines posh accommodations, dramatic lines, and the kind of quality that says it's a Bertram, and is responsible for a really wonderful ten year run.  Inspired design and meticulous engineering have made her 42-foot, 6-inch length and 14-foot, 10-inch beam seem much larger. An enormous upper deck provides all the open space anyone needs to cruise, socialize, 0r simply play. And with a spacious salon and a galley, she is perfect for intimate dinner parties at sea. There's a full sized refrigerator and a three-burner range with an oven, along with what seems like miles of drawer and locker space. She sleeps six, with a convertible lounge. There are two completely private staterooms: one aft stateroom and a very comfortable and spacious vee - berth, a hanging closet and drawer stowage. Other features emphasize the flybridge, with more than ample seating that includes a large helm and an upper deck area with room six comfortably, all with great visibility.

  • Description

Accommodations The accommodations on Daddy's Gift define cruising comfort. Upon boarding you immediately get the feel of comfort and relaxation of a tropical home with the ambience almost of the West Indies style. There's plenty of room to easily seat five or more people. There is a nice wet bar to keep that parched feeling at bay, and all of this is wrapped in a canvas package complete with screens to let in the breeze and isinglass to keep out the rain and foul weather. Let the boat drinks flow! Stepping into the main salon will take you to a world of indoor boating comfort. The furniture is in the form of an overstuffed couch that converts into sleeping for two, and lounger that is just as relaxing as the couch. Stepping down into the aft cabin the first thing you see is the large double bed surrounded by plenty of room and extensive storage. This gives way to a long counter area for the lady of the vessel to prepare for those inevitable on the water soiree's. A full head provides the needed creature comforts. As you cross to the galley you will notice the fold out table and more storage for glasses, bar storage, and anything else you can't find a place for. Straight ahead you will find an expansive galley with a two burner stove, a full sized refrigerator, and area above to store dishes, a double sink, and a microwave. Above the sink is a long mirror to accentuate it all. A few steps past the counter is the entrance to the large vee - berth complete with its own head and plenty of storage.  Upper and Lower Bridge The lower helm is just forward of the social area and boasts all the things needed for a skipper to helm with ease, even for long periods of time. Since it is enclosed with the aft seating area, it also provides time for verbal mingling with guests. All the gauges and navigational needs are at the captain's fingertips. The wide windshield and side and aft isinglass areas give a 360 degree view to ensure clear visibility for full control of the vessel. Vessel Guages and Navigational Aids All the normal gauges are in place in both the upper and lower helms. These include: Tachometers Fire Alarms Oil Pressure Temperature VHF with External Speaker Integrated Garmin GPS Chart Plotters Lower Helm: Bilge Test Robertson AP 200L Autopilot Breaker Switches Upper Helm: Stereo DART Datamarine Search Light Control Note: This is a list of the main controls, etc. but is not a complete list which is lengthy. Engine The power plant is two Detroit Diesel 671 with a total Power: 870 HP.

Bertram 42 Convertible  -  Hurricane Opal

This example is a hurricane Opal survivor.

The 42C is the little brother of the immensely popular 46 Convertible, which is nearly identical in every way except scale. The 42 was slightly less popular, and therefore there are fewer of them, perhaps because the price differential  with the 46 was not all that much. Like a lot of builders, they end up with two models that compete with each other. But its a real gem of a boat if you don't mind cabin spaces that are not as well laid out as they should be. As a fishing platform it  is nearly ideal, and makes a decent southern cruising boat as well. There are lots of them that are never fished.

As with the 46, the 42 was also offered in a motor yacht model (shown on the introduction page), both of which were a total bust because they didn't fool anyone as to what they are: an attempt to make a motor yacht out of a hull designed for a sport fisherman. Few builders are ever successful doing this.

This model was first introduced in 1973, and along with the 46C, is one of the longest production yachts ever built, finally discontinued in 1987. Fourteen years of non-stop production has to tell you something about this boat when the average production run is probably more like two years. Originally coming in at 34,000 lbs., she grew in weight over the years to 40,000 lbs. but engine power increased considerably also. The original 8V71's were a bit slow, but these engines are going to last a long time, too. The 6V92's move her along at respectable speeds, although fuel consumption is not so respectable.

In our view, the 42C offers one of the best values around in a used boat of its class. Not only is it well built, but the overall design achieves its purpose of creating a first rate fishing platform with decent amenities. With a 14-10 beam and a moderately sized deck house, interior space is adequate. The bridge layout is good, and the cockpit, having fished this one myself, is plenty big with a full Murray Brothers chair. Throw in a tackle center on both sides of the door and it cramps up a bit because the bridge ladder stands off the bulkhead by 30".

What makes the 42 an overall better performer are the fact that the hull vee is less than the 46, plus the fact that she'll hold the same size engines.  That means that she isn't hobbled by underpowered engines and they are comparatively much faster boats, a feature which nearly everyone likes. Nor are they as fuel hoggy. Power options run the gamut, all the way from 6-71's, 8V71's, 6V92's and the Cummins 903. You really need 800 HP to drive this boat, so we don't recommend anything less than that. With that much power, not many folks will be dissatisfied with her performance.

What you will be dissatisfied with are (1) wood cockpits on earlier models, (2) generators under leaky cockpit decks that turn into a ball of rust, (3) wood tackle centers, (4) those horrible aluminum rub rails that corrode badly, and (5) an engine room that is badly cramped.

Beyond that, this a great boat. The photo above is a dolled up job that looks just super by just adding a small feature stripe, tinted windows and painting the window frames black, plus a little gold striping. If she looks to be sitting a little funny, that's because this photo was taken just a few days after hurricane Opal. Other boats around her were badly damaged or destroyed, but total damage to this one was $22,000. Below is another 42 that the 160 MPH winds and waves of Andrew pushed through and took down nearly 100 yards of mangrove forest. And mangrove wood is darn tough stuff.

After seeing so many of these boats bashed and battered, we know how they're built, and we can tell you that they really are tough cookies. These hull laminates are no thicker than anybody else's, but it is the engineering expertise - often utterly lacking in so many others -  that makes the difference. These hulls are plain old woven roving construction and hold up better than all the exotic materials you hear about put together. When you hear builders touting the latest and greatest high tech stuff, we say HOOEY! And we'll be pleased to show you the proof, because its contained right here on the pages of this web site. That's why, over and over again, we show you pictures of busted up boats. The only way to test 'em is to break 'em, and that's what storms do.

Bertram 42 Convertible-Hurricane Andrew

This one traveled through 100 yards of mangrove forest before coming to rest on this road.

Bertram 42 Convertible - Hurricane Opal

This 42C took an unbelievable beating at the hands of Opal. It smashed through the waterfront restaurant you see in the background and ended up in a heap with other boats, most of which were destroyed, against a concrete bulkhead. It took such heavy impacts that the engines were knocked off the mounts and the entire interior was broken apart.  But the hull was never breached except at the rail seen at top. She's back in service again as though nothing had ever happened.

In the photo showing the boat sitting on the roadway, most of the bottom strakes were torn off. The props and rudders are completely mangled. With the weight of the boat sitting on them, were they pushed up through the bottom and did it fill with water? Nope. No water entered the hull.

There aren't a lot of 15-20 year old boats that are really worth spending some money on, but the 42C definitely is. With prices in the low $100's, putting 50-100k into one of these can net you a nearly new boat at half the price.  And one that will continue to look good and not deteriorate at a rate that breaks the bank.
