Our Thoughts

The 2004 Bertram 570 Convertible represents a purpose-built offshore fishing platform that has been systematically upgraded and maintained to support extended cruising, serious sport fishing, and comfortable multi-stateroom accommodation. At 57 feet with a 16.92-foot beam and 5.25-foot draft, this Bertram delivers the hull form and seaworthiness the brand is known for, paired with twin 1550 HP MAN diesel engines that cruise at 30 knots and achieve 36 knots at full throttle—sufficient speed and range for reaching distant fishing grounds while carrying 1,585 gallons of fuel and 250 gallons of fresh water.

Fishing Capability and Cockpit Layout

The vessel's fishing credentials are extensive. A full custom 14-step tuna tower with complete helm controls, VHF, and GPS/MFD integration commands the upper deck, while the 174-square-foot cockpit provides the working space serious anglers require. Triple spreader outriggers and a center rigger are paired with rod storage at the tower, cockpit gunnels, and fighting chair, plus switchable 12/24/36-volt DC fishing reel outlets on both port and starboard sides. A custom Murray Brothers pedestal fighting chair—finished in the same Fighting Lady Yellow as the hull—anchors the stern, while a custom swim platform in matching colors facilitates tackle prep and crew access. The cockpit includes a dedicated bait prep station with sink and freshwater faucets, deep-well freezers for both bait and food, a live well in the transom, and a 1,000-pound-per-day Ocean Breeze ice machine that feeds directly into the cockpit fish box. Two Miya Epoch electronic teaser reels and single-lever controls with trolling valves complete the setup for trolling operations.

Electronics and Navigation

Navigation and fish-finding equipment reflects a modern integration approach. Two Furuno TZT3 16-inch multi-function displays serve as the primary helm station, supported by a Furuno FCV-1200L 2,000-watt 50/200 kHz sonar, Furuno DFF3D sonar with CHIRP and 3D Airmar transducers, and a Furuno Black Box radar with 96-mile range. A Garmin 5208 MFD provides secondary display capability. Furuno VHF/AIS Rx and an ICOM IC-M602 VHF ensure communications, while a Simrad AP-22 autopilot handles long-distance steering. The tower helm station includes a dedicated ICOM VHF and all necessary controls. Starlink Gen-2 broadband connectivity supports internet access throughout the vessel, and SiriusXM, DirecTV satellite television, and an ACR RCL-90 searchlight with wireless remote round out the electronics suite.

Propulsion and Power Generation

Twin MAN 1550 HP diesel engines with ZF electronic clutch and throttle controls drive the vessel, with digital engine displays at both the main helm and flybridge. A Phasor 21 KW generator installed new in 2020 (with 5,080 hours) provides shore-independent power generation, while dual Racor fuel filters with vacuum gauges and selector valves ensure fuel system reliability. The electrical infrastructure includes 120/240-volt AC and 12/24-volt DC distribution panels, six Group 31 AGM 12-volt batteries (four port, two star

2004 Bertram 570 Convertible: A Fully Equipped Sportfish and Extended-Range Cruiser
Overview
The 2004 Bertram 570 Convertible represents a mature expression of Bertram's reputation for seaworthy, well-built sportfish convertibles. At 57 feet with a 16.92-foot beam and 5.25-foot draft, this vessel combines the practical offshore fishing capability the Bertram name is known for with the interior volume and comfort systems needed for extended cruising and family entertaining. Twin 1550 HP MAN engines deliver a 30-knot cruise speed and 36-knot top speed, providing the performance to reach distant fishing grounds while maintaining economical operation during longer passages. The yacht is configured with three staterooms, each with private head and shower facilities, a large open salon and galley, a full fighting tower, and comprehensive fishing systems including a 1,000-pound-per-day ice machine, live well, and fish box—making it equally suited to serious tournament fishing, casual sportfishing adventures, and comfortable island cruising.
Layout and Deck Design
Access to the Quite Nice is straightforward from either side of the cockpit via built-in teak steps or through the aft transom door. The cockpit spans 174 square feet and serves as the operational hub for fishing and entertainment. Custom teak overlay decking, covering boards, and gunnels create a finished appearance while providing non-slip surfaces. A Murray Brothers pedestal fighting chair, custom-painted to match the Fighting Lady Yellow hull, is mounted forward of centerline, with the bait prep station and its freshwater sink positioned nearby for efficient rigging and baiting operations. The main deck layout flows from cockpit through salon to galley with logical efficiency. Three steps forward on the starboard side lead through the aft door into the salon, which features a large L-shaped sofa on the port side with ample storage beneath and an entertainment center to starboard. The open galley and dinette sit further forward, with the L-shaped dinette accommodating four diners. A cherry wood staircase descends to the three-stateroom accommodation below. The master stateroom occupies the port side with a private head and shower, while a twin-berthed stateroom to starboard shares a day head with the forward bow stateroom. The bow stateroom, fitted with over-and-under berths, has its own private head and shower. A washer and dryer are located in the companionway on the port side, supporting extended-stay capability without reliance on shore laundry facilities. On deck, a 14-step tower with custom hard tops and matching painted undersides dominates the upper profile. The tower houses a full helm station with steering, VHF radio, and GPS/MFD access, allowing the captain to maintain helm control while scouting fishing conditions or spotting structure. Six rod holders on the aft rail, four additional rod holders on the tower legs, and four more in the cockpit gunnel provide rig storage for multiple outfits. Triple spreader outriggers and a center rigger are rigged for deploying trolled baits and lures at varying distances and depths. Two Miya Epoch electronic teaser reels are mounted in an alcove above the helm chair, automating the teasing function during trolling operations. The bow features a fiberglass pulpit with short bow rail, a Maxwell windlass installed in 2021, and primary and emergency anchor systems. A 400-foot length of galvanized 3/8-inch BBB chain with a Delta anchor serves as the primary ground tackle, while a secondary 50-foot length of chain with 200 feet of 3/4-inch nylon rode and a plow anchor provides redundancy. Six freshwater wash-downs are positioned throughout the deck—in the cockpit port and starboard, at the helm, on the tower, in the anchor locker, and in the engine room—enabling thorough rinsing of fishing equipment, decks, and engines.
Helm and Electronics
The yacht is equipped with a sophisticated integrated electronics suite centered on dual Furuno TZT3 16-inch multifunction displays mounted at the main helm station. These MFDs serve as the primary navigation and sonar integration platform, displaying chart data, waypoints, and real-time sonar returns. A Furuno FCV-1200L 2,000-watt sonar with 50/200 kHz transducers provides traditional side-imaging and bottom-finding capability, while a Furuno DFF3D sonar with CHIRP technology and 3D Airmar transducers delivers advanced target definition and three-dimensional bottom structure visualization. A Furuno Black Box radar with 96-mile range extends situational awareness in low-visibility conditions and supports weather monitoring. A Furuno RD-30 display and Danforth magnetic compass provide backup navigation reference. VHF communication is handled by a Furuno VHF/AIS receiver and an ICOM IC-M602 VHF radio, ensuring redundancy and compliance with modern marine communication standards. A Simrad AP-22 autopilot (noted as inoperative) is installed for hands-off cruising, though it requires attention before extended passages. ZF electronic clutch and throttle controls with trolling valves at the tower helm station allow precise speed and direction management during fishing operations. An electrically raised helm console improves visibility and accessibility at both the main helm and tower stations. Entertainment and connectivity are supported by Starlink Gen-2 broadband, enabling real-time weather routing, email communication, and streaming services during extended offshore stays. A DirecTV satellite television system with HDDVR receiver, SiriusXM satellite radio, and a Sea Tel satellite antenna provide entertainment and weather information. A Fusion R-210 stereo with new speakers throughout the vessel (2021 upgrade) delivers audio to the main salon, galley, cockpit, flybridge , and helm stations. A Garmin 5208 MFD is also installed, providing additional navigation and sonar display capability.
Fishing Features and Systems
The vessel is comprehensively equipped for offshore sportfishing. The cockpit-mounted live well, integrated into the transom, maintains bait in fresh, aerated water. A 1,000-pound-per-day ice machine installed in 2020 feeds directly into the cockpit fish box, ensuring that caught fish are immediately iced for preservation during extended fishing days or multi-day trips. Deep well bait and food freezers on the starboard side of the cockpit provide additional storage for frozen baits and provisions. The bait prep station, equipped with a sink and freshwater faucets, allows efficient rigging and baiting without returning to the galley. DC fishing reel outlets on the port and starboard sides of the cockpit are switchable between 12-volt, 24-volt, and 36-volt operation, accommodating various electric reel specifications without requiring multiple power supplies. Baitwell supply fittings on the port, starboard, and transom sides support portable livewells for additional bait storage or catch management during high-volume fishing days. The full tower configuration includes complete steering and throttle controls, allowing the captain to maintain helm authority while elevated for spotting. Four rod holders on the tower legs keep frequently used rods within immediate reach. The tower bench seat provides comfortable perch for spotting crew during the search for feeding fish or surface structure.
Comfort and Seating
The main salon L-sofa with generous storage beneath accommodates relaxation and entertaining, while the forward dinette seats four for meals or casual gathering. The salon is finished with vinyl overhead, recessed lighting, and valance rope lighting that creates ambient atmosphere. An entertainment center with television and soundbar (2020 upgrade), DVD player, and multi-disc CD player provides onboard entertainment. A wet bar with stainless steel sink and hot/cold faucet supports casual entertaining and beverage service. The flybridge helm area features a U-shaped bench seat forward of the steering station, offering comfortable seating with views over the bow and sides. Six rod holders on the aft rail provide additional tackle storage while maintaining deck space. A refrigerated drink box (inoperative, used for storage) was originally intended to keep beverages cold during long fishing days on the flybridge. The cockpit is outfitted with full Sunbrella covers for all helm chairs, fighting chair, and seating surfaces, protecting upholstery and hardware from sun and salt exposure when the vessel is not in use. An overhead shade canopy can be raised or attached to the transom, providing sun protection during extended time in the cockpit.
Cabin and Interior
The three-stateroom layout provides accommodation flexibility for family cruising, charter operations, or entertaining overnight guests. The master stateroom features a queen island berth with storage below and built-in nightstands on each side, rope lighting for ambiance, and
