The salon interior is first-class with real cherrywood cabinetry and teak and holly galley soles.

Grab rails in the salon and in front of all doors are first class – there are never too many places to acquire a steadying handhold in rough weather. An elegant wood grab rail down the salon overhead sports a molded fiberglass insert to protect the fabric of the overhead itself, a functional addition of which I took note.

The galley is a cook’s delight, especially if the cook likes to fish. Bertram designers deliberately left an unobstructed line of sight in all directions, from the four-burner undercounter cooktop to the two fridge and two freezer Sub Zero pull-out drawer units, the dishwasher, the compactor, or the microwave/convection oven. Your mate can easily make a sandwich assembly line and still watch the baits or keep an eye out for birds and tailing fish.

The most oustanding design feature of the Bertram 630 is the amount of storage space in the living quarters. Under the master stateroom, which is to port and properly located as far aft as possible, there is an enormous amount of lazarette storage that’s usually overlooked or inaccessible in most boats. This is in addition to the many hanging lockers, drawers and cabinets found throughout. There are even six mirrored lockers over a 7-foot-long countertop and hand basin in the head. The mirrored panels seem to make the head look even bigger than it actually is, and the amount of space for necessities and personal effects surpasses that of a lot of onshore accommodations.

The bridge access is via a unique circular stairway offering quick and easy ascent or descent and is more secure and easier to navigate than almost any bridge ladder.

Machinery

Easily accessed thru cockpit hatch

A single athwartship fuel tank, which actually forms the forward engine room bulkhead, is perfectly positioned so as to preserve a uniform center of gravity regardless of fuel loads. Aft of the engine room is a machinery space that allows easy servicing of the two 23-kW Kohler gensets and all air-conditioning and refrigeration compressors. A Leeson pump allows easy oil changes with either an oil reservoir or 5-gallon plastic containers. Oil and fuel filters are inboard of the big engines for ease of maintenance. The entire engine room sparkles with easy-to-clean Awlgrip surfaces.

There are fuel sight gauges with Lexan tubes and a protective outer shell of aluminum. All the freshwater plumbing is color-coded – blue for cold and red for hot. The batteries are heavy-duty, lead-acid and placed in a spot for easy servicing. And speaking of service friendly, the engine room’s overhead hatches allow an “undressed” main engine (with some bits and pieces removed) to be lifted out for major overhaul or repair.

Bertram adds an interesting shut-off mechanism for the raw-water intakes – not the usual marine seacock, but a heavy-duty, industrial butterfly valve and a “crash valve” for emergency induction bilge pumping from either main engine.
