Broom 33The Broom 33 was intended to strengthen Broom’s presence in the seagoing medium-size cruiser market and bridged the gap between their well-reputed river boats and their larger sea-going models. It represented a popular entry level boat in the Fast Offshore Range, although it has since been discontinued for a larger …
Broom 34Introduced as the Broom Ocean 34, the boat was later rebadged as the Broom 34 to strengthen the Broom branding.

The central wheelhouse had either a fixed or hinged wooden canopy, or one of folding canvas. The so-called stateroom was forward with two …
Broom 35 CoupeThe 35 Coupe marked a return to building boats optimised for the inland waterways with the low air draught ideal for exploring inland.

Broom 35clLike all of the models in the Coastal range, the 35 CL is designed to be equally at home cruising inland waterways or making serious sea passages, with the hinge-down mast helping to give the boat a low air draft. The en-suite aft cabin is fitted with an island double, …

Broom 3718 inches of additional beam over the 37 Crown gave the Broom 37 a significant increase in interior space.

The comfortable interior layout includes a double cabin aft with separate toilet …
Broom 37 ContinentalWith a reputation as immensely sea-worthy and bringing together all the key layout features that have characterised Brooms boats ever since, the 37 Continental can fairly be said to be the grandmother of “Aft Cabins – Forward Thinking”! Twin v-berths in the forward cabin and two singles in the aft …
Broom 37 CrownSuccessor to the successful Continental, the Broom Crown was based on the same hull, but had a restyled superstructure and a significant change to the layout.

Broom 395The 395 was the successor to the 39KL, extending the bathing platform by a further half metre to allow for rear access steps on both sides, as has proved successful on the 425. The 395 also has a large aft cockpit similar to the 450, with full width seating and …

Broom Ocean 31Primarily a river boat, the confusingly named Ocean 31 is still popular because of its low air and water draught giving it flexibility on river systems.
