Bertram 43 Convertible
Overview
About this vessel
This is an exceptional and extremely rare opportunity to acquire a profitable, turnkey sportfishing charter business in Maui. This operation has been continuously active for 37 years and is one of only three permitted sportfishing charters operating out of Maui s only operational charter harbor, Maalaea, Maui.
The business operates as a private charter, accommodating up to six guests, and specializes in 6 2 hour offshore fishing trips targeting premier Hawaiian pelagic species, including Pacific blue marlin, striped marlin, ono (wahoo), mahi-mahi, and ahi (tuna).
Ultra-limited permit availability: Commercial charter permits in Hawai i are tightly controlled. Existing permits rarely come to market.
Long-standing operation: 37 years of continuous operation with an established reputation and repeat clientele.
Profitable and turnkey: Proven revenue stream with systems in place for immediate continuation by a new owner with a 14 year veteran licensed fishing captain intending to continue operating private charters.
Exclusive market position: One of only three permitted sportfishing charter operators with permanent slips in Maalaea, a prime central Maui location with excellent offshore access.
Private charter model: High-value trips with a maximum of six guests, appealing to both visitors and repeat local clientele built upon nearly 4 decades of continuous operations.
There is a ranked, well-established website. And long-standing contracts with concierges and booking agents locally and globally.
This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a permitted commercial fishing charter in Maui. This is an asset class defined by scarcity, regulatory protection, and enduring demand. Ideal for an owner-operator or investor seeking a lifestyle business with strong barriers to entry.
Bertram s 1988 43 Convertible was built as the premier, heavy-duty sportfishing yacht designed for both serious offshore angling and comfortable cruising. She is a solid, ruggedly constructed vessel with a refined, spacious two-stateroom layout.
