Looking for a spacious liveaboard without spending a fortune? This substantial Bruce Roberts 45 Steel Flybridge Cruiser offers exceptional volume, solid steel construction and a practical layout that feels more like a floating home than a conventional cruiser.
With an impressive 5.11m beam, the enormous saloon provides generous lounge and dining areas, complemented by a functional galley with a full-size fridge/freezer and plenty of storage.
Accommodation is a standout, featuring a spacious aft master bedroom with a double bed and bathtub, plus a separate forward cabin with four single bunks and shower facilities. Ideal for families, extended cruising or comfortable liveaboard living.
Outside, the full walkaround side decks provide easy access from bow to stern, while the elevated flybridge and spacious rear entertaining area offer plenty of room to relax. An aluminium tender with Yamaha outboard is also included.
Powered by twin 155HP Detroit Diesels on shaft drives, with an 8kVA Onan generator, air conditioning, hot water, approximately 2,000L fuel capacity and 550L fresh water.
A March 2025 out-of-water insurance survey is available, reporting the vessel in average-to-good overall condition, with no major structural concerns identified at the time of inspection.
