Broker's Comments

Here we have a wonderful and extremely tidy and well cared for 26 foot classic wooden river cruiser. She is believed to be a very early or even a prototype Broom Rob by the vendor following his extensive research.

She has to be seen to be fully appreciated as she radiates the warmth of well cared for wood and a classic and thoughtful weekender layout all combined with a modern Nani diesel engine and creature comforts like warm air heating, holding tank, and a flexible canopy arrangement.

The woodwork throughout this magical little boat is sublime and literally glows. Her exterior woodwork is just as good as the interior and her foredeck is stunningly laid with planks of different tones and beautifully lacquered.

She has charm and character in abundance and can be the perfect overnighter or weekender for a couple. The saloon converts to a double configuration and all her upholstery has been recently replaced by the current owner of the last 4 years.

She has a very convivial cockpit and an excellent canopy and a tidy and clean toilet compartment to holding tank and lots of storage and even a huge bow section accessed through double doors for storage etc.

This boat feels like a little gentleman's club afloat. She has a current Boat Safety Certificate to September 2028 and her Broads toll is paid for the coming season to March 2026.

She has a mooring in a wet shed that could be transferred to the new owner which would help protect her amazing exterior. If you are looking for a classic and stunning weekend cruiser at a very reasonable outlay then this lovely little boat will allow all that the Norfolk Broads has to offer.

She had a recent survey in 2020 and the current owner has spent a lot of money to bring her back to her current stunning condition.
