Broker's Comments

Waterways and coastal cruiser for sale in France. Boatshed Midi Canals is pleased to offer this BROOM 37 for sale.

The Broom shipyard has a reputation for building robust and quality boats. This boat's draft and air draft allow it to navigate the European canal network. The two Perkins HT6354 engines provide the speed and power needed for coastal cruising.

This waterways and coastal motor cruiser is mostly in its original condition and appears to be well-maintained. However, there has been an upgrade to the electrical systems in 12V, 24V, and 230V AC. Moreover, you won't run out of power thanks to the two solar panels, wind generator, and 2000W generator. You'll always have a solution for recharging your batteries.

In summary, this is a robust and versatile boat for both river and coastal navigation, suitable for year-round living, and it's offered at a very affordable price!
