Description

Representing a rare opportunity to acquire a pinnacle of British offshore engineering, 'Pathfinder' is a 1991 Broom 44 Hardtop that perfectly balances rugged sea-keeping with refined live-aboard luxury. This particular example is powered by the legendary twin Caterpillar 3208 TA V8 435hp turbo diesel engines on shaft drives—a powertrain renowned for its longevity and effortless cruising performance. The sought-after hardtop configuration provides an all-weather command center, offering the ultimate protection for North Sea crossings while maintaining the signature Broom elevated helm position for superior visibility during close-quarters handling.

The interior volume is truly class-leading, featuring a versatile three-cabin layout that comfortably sleeps six. The crown jewel of the accommodation is the magnificent full-beam master aft cabin, offering a private sanctuary complete with a dedicated ensuite. 'Pathfinder' has been equipped with an exhaustive inventory for extended cruising; from bow and stern thrusters for effortless docking to a generator, inverter, and Webasto warm air heating for year-round comfort. With "home-from-home" essentials including a washing machine and electric towel rails, she is as suited to long-term live-aboard adventures as she is to high-speed coastal hops.

Specifications

Accommodation

The interior of 'Pathfinder' is a masterclass in maritime space planning, designed to offer a true "home-from-home" experience for extended cruising. At the heart of the vessel lies a vast, light-filled saloon and dinette area midships, providing an exceptional social hub for entertaining or a tranquil space to hunker down in the evening. The galley, positioned to the port side, is well-equipped for long-term life aboard, complemented by a conveniently located day heads just forward to port, providing easy-access facilities for guests and the forward cabins alike.

The sleeping quarters are headlined by a magnificent full-beam master aft cabin, a signature Broom feature that offers a private sanctuary with extensive storage, a dedicated vanity unit, and a generous ensuite with a separate shower area. Guests are equally well-catered for, with a VIP forward cabin featuring a classic V-berth and a third cabin to starboard providing two comfortable single berths. This three-cabin, six-berth configuration, supported by two separate head compartments, makes 'Pathfinder' an ideal choice for families or those who enjoy hosting guests in a refined, private environment.
