Broker's Comments
Boatshed Essex are delighted to be offering this well known and proven Multihull for sale. If you are looking for spacious, comfortable accommodation and fast passage making, a multihull of this calibre should be considered. The Broadblue 385 has a reputation for an ocean-going cruiser providing a performance sailing platform.
This is a three cabin version dedicating all the starboard hull to the owner with full en-suite facilities, including a full study area, separate walk in shower and toilet. Ideal for guests or family, sharing a combined heads in the port hull, with two separate berth's forward and aft. Also, diesel heated radiators is provided to all cabins, for those cooler times.
The helm position provides good all-round visibility and the addition of a Bimini. The running rigging is straightforward and led to the cockpit.
As you might expect from a multihull, the space outside is as impressive as it is inside, with wide side decks and an expansive foredeck, ideal for relaxing. Twin diesel engines provide plenty of power and manoeuvrability when needed.
Stepping in from the cockpit you are invited into a spacious and airy saloon and galley, with a well equipped navigation station to port and shared access to each hull. With plenty of windows letting in lots of light and providing plenty of ventilation when required.
If you would like any more details, or to organise a personal viewing, then please do contact our office and we would be pleased to help.
