Remarks

The very attractive Broom Robb 25 was built locally by Broom's of Brundall and offers comfortable accommodation for two in a bright and airy cabin with good headroom and a separate heads compartment. This example has been thoroughly refitted by the current owner who purchased the boat in 2018. She was afloat for a short season summer 2019 and is now back in shed storage and awaiting a new owner to enjoy her! With a new diesel engine still under warranty, and new fuel, electric, domestic system and much more, this traditional Broads motor cruiser is not one to miss!

Please note: Photos 1-23 inclusive show the vessel in summer 2019. Photos 24 onward were taken by Topsail in June 2020.

This vessel does not have a Boat Safety Scheme certificate at present.
