Bertram 42 Motor Yacht 1980 £45,000 – VAT Exempt by Age Location: Vliho, Lefkas Island, Greece The Bertram 42 is a legendary American-built motor yacht renowned for its exceptionally strong construction, seaworthiness, and spacious liveaboard comfort. Built in 1980, this classic Bertram combines traditional heavy-displacement build quality with impressive interior volume, making her an ideal long-range cruiser or liveaboard vessel for Mediterranean cruising. Currently located at anchor in Vliho, Lefkas Island, Greece, this Bertram 42 has recently been cruising extensively around the Greek islands and has proven to be an economical and comfortable cruising platform. Powered by twin Detroit Diesel 425hp engines, the owner reports comfortable cruising at approximately 6 knots and 800 RPM using only around 20–30 litres per hour combined — remarkably efficient for a vessel of this size and displacement. The yacht offers exceptionally spacious accommodation thanks to her impressive 15ft beam, comfortably sleeping up to 8 guests. The aft master cabin is particularly generous, featuring two queen-size double beds together with ensuite facilities, while the forward guest cabin offers twin V-berth singles with its own ensuite shower and electric toilet. The saloon also converts into an additional comfortable double berth. The interior benefits from a bright and spacious open-plan galley with excellent natural light, fully equipped with gas hob, oven, microwave, electric kettle, fridge, and separate freezer, making the vessel particularly well suited for extended cruising or liveaboard use. Recent upgrades include five new 12v batteries installed in July 2025 together with substantial solar panel capacity mounted on the cockpit roof, producing more than enough onboard power for comfortable off-grid cruising. An Onan 6.7kVA diesel generator provides ample additional onboard electrical supply when required. At the helm, navigation equipment includes Raymarine chart plotter, GPS, depth gauge, autopilot, VHF radio, and stereo system with multiple speakers. The yacht also benefits from an electronic waste management system for controlled discharge handling, together with a substantial inventory of onboard tools and equipment. The hull bottom was cleaned in September 2025.
