Accommodation
The Broom 50 has an expansive saloon that was a breakaway from the more traditional Broom designs, with sweeping contours of the saloon seating and bulkheads. There are three cabins nestled in her 50ft length.The vast aft cabin complete with ensuite toilet and shower compartments, that wouldn't look out of place on far bigger craft. The forward guest cabin boasts an island double and ensuite access to the day toilet and shower compartment. The third cabin is located to starboard forward of the saloon and comprises of two single berths. The galley is open to the main saloon and feels very much part of the same space. As one would expect of a craft of her size stowage is plentiful and throughout the whole of the boat.
The single helm position which is positioned centrally means that you can enjoy excellent visibility. The dinette area aft of the helm and navigators position will easily accommodate 6 adults. The usual drawback of the aft cabin boat is the lack of cockpit stowage space, the 50 overcomes this with plentiful stowage beneath the cockpit seating.
