Broom Boats are now renowned for creating top quality aft cabin cruisers; some many even claim they are the best at what they do. In all fairness to them this is a boat type they have been perfecting over the last 40 years and they have been crafting boats since the company was founded in 1898 by Charles J Broom. Originally Broom boats created, sold and rented sailing boats for exploring the Norfolk broads, a beautiful location where the company is actually still based. Some of its most interesting and credible points of Brooms historical story is that in the 1920’s Broom boats were one of the first to put internal combustion engines in boats and during the Second World War they contributed by built boats for the British Navy. The nice thing about this company is it has never lost its sense of tradition and high standards. It has been a family run business for most of the company’s life, though there has been a change in management in 2010 members of the Broom family have stayed on as an integral part of the company even if they are not in charge. This change shows a nice compromise between all Broom’s heritage and its ability to continue to strive to be innovative and cutting edge. There are few boat companies that can compete with Brooms incredible long standing history and contribution to the boating world.
