Review of the Norfolk Broads boat Broadsman

Positives: This modern and stylish cruiser is equipped with both bow and stern thrusters, making it easy to manoeuvre into tight mooring spots. It offers three separate cabins—two with fixed berths ready on arrival, and a convertible double settee in the saloon for added sleeping space. The helm is positioned at the front within the saloon, which features a fully electric split sliding canopy, ideal for open-air cruising and alfresco dining on sunny days. 240-volt electrics and a microwave provide extra convenience on board.

Negatives: There are a number of steps within this boat's interior, so perhaps not the best craft for those who are physically disabled. On the same theme, the deck sides can be a little high to access depending on where you're moored.

Broadsman dimensions: 13.71m x 3.66m (45ft x12ft)
