1994 Bertram MoppieSold

Step aboard and you’ll feel that unmistakable Bertram heft underfoot—wide beam, deep cockpit, and that low, secure stance that offshore anglers love. The 30 Moppie layout keeps everything simple and purposeful: quick access around the helm, plenty of room to work a spread, and coamings at just the right height when you’re on a fish. Visibility from the helm is excellent, with a clean dash that still has space for updated electronics. Down below, the cabin has that old-school, overbuilt feel—solid joinery, practical storage, and enough headroom to move around without crouching. It’s the kind of boat you can hose down after a long day and know it’s ready to do it all again tomorrow.

A 30-foot Bertram of this vintage is a sweet spot for local waters: big enough to run comfortably through afternoon chop, yet compact enough to tuck into tighter slips and shallow moorings. The deep-V hull softens short, confused seas that are common here, while the generous cockpit makes it ideal for trolling, live-baiting, or loading up dive gear. Its manageable size keeps fuel and maintenance in check, but you still get the security of a heavy, offshore-capable build. Whether you’re hopping between nearby harbors or stretching out for a weekend offshore, this Moppie delivers confidence without feeling like you’re handling a small ship.
