In 1961, Dick Bertram and C. Raymond Hunt launched the 31 Bahia Mar on a brand-new deep-V hull and promptly won the Miami-to-Nassau ocean race in punishing seas. Overnight, every serious offshore boat was redesigned. The Bahia Mar didn't just define Bertram — it redefined what a small ocean-going boat could do.
Sold as both an Express and a Flybridge Cruiser, the 31 is the boat the entire vintage sportfishing world organizes itself around. Hand-laid solid-glass hull, walk-around cockpit, classic varnished helm — every detail has been imitated and almost never bettered.
A well-kept 31 today is one of the most desirable classic boats on water, period. They appreciate, they get passed down, and they still run offshore like nothing built since.
