Ladder access to swim platform and swim ladder, dinghy in davits and Honda 4 stroke 2hp outboard hung from the taffrail. Helm to starboard and central companionway down to the saloon accesses by a very reassuring spiral staircase. Saloon with 1.9m headroom deep windows and doors to port and starboard give great ventilation and a real sense of space and light.

Plenty of storage, warm wood finishings, upholstery and headlinings in very nice condition and a pull out drinks cabinet adds a nice touch.

Broker's Comments
Broom Crown 37 for sale in the south of France. Boatshed Midi Canals is pleased to offer this classic Broom twin engine motor cruiser for sale.
What a pleasure to find such a well-kept vessel. The Broom Crown is a very capable coastal vessel and yet still of comfortable dimensions for the inland navigations. This one has cruised the rivers and canals of France, Holland, Germany and Belgium and spent the last few years navigating the canal du midi and Med. coast here in the south of France.
This is a really nice example of a simple, solid, yet comfortable motor cruiser with timeless classic appeal. Sold "ready to use" with crockery, cutlery, pots/pans, glasses etc. all included. Just the two folding bikes seen on our photos are not included in the sale.
For more information and appointments to view, please contact Graham, your local broker at Boatshed Midi Canals.
