Description
1988 Bertram 54 Convertible "Ms Jefe"
Ms. Jefe, is one of the finest examples of a well-maintained and highly updated 54’ Bertram’s currently on the market. Powered by CAT 3412 1300 HP engines, she cruises at a respectable and efficient 28 knots with a top speed around 34 knots. Well known for its seakeeping ability, the 54’ Bertram is a classic sportfishing battlewagon! Her hull and topsides completely repainted in 2021, Ms. Jefe shines like she just came off the showroom floor. With many modern upgrades, including a Furuno CH-600 Drop Down Searchlight Sonar, it’s obvious this is not your typical 54’ Bertram. If you are a serious fisherman looking for a rock-solid, tournament-ready mid-sized sportfish with modernized systems and amenities that won’t break the bank, then look no further than Ms. Jefe! This boat would be a great platform for someone stepping out of a center console, looking to take their sportfishing game to the next level!

Born and raised along the Texas Gulf Coast; as the son of a well-respected captain, I was fortunate to have been exposed and gained valuable experience in both the sportfishing and yachting worlds from an early age.
I hold a Viking Masters Certification and specialize in the sale of new and pre-owned Viking, Valhalla, and Custom sportfishing and cruising yachts.
I believe that honesty and integrity are paramount and I strive to seamlessly navigate my clients through the nuances of the yacht buying and selling processes, making it an enjoyable and exciting experience. I take pride in providing exceptional service after the sale and forging long term relationships.
I am on the board of directors for the Houston Big Game Fishing Club and serve as the Chairman of the largest sportfishing tournament in the state of Texas, “The Lone Star Shootout”.
Prior to joining Galati Yacht Sales, I earned a bachelor degree from Texas A&M University in Maritime Administration and later went to work as a project manager for a shipyard; where I managed multi-million-dollar ship repair and construction projects for the offshore oil and gas industry.
Since joining Galati, I have been able to successfully combine my experience and passion for sportfishing along with my professional background to aid my clients in their search for a new or pre-owned sportfishing or cruising yacht that best suits them and their family’s unique needs.
