Immediately noticeable is her new hull colour – whereas before she was a pristine white, she now sports an almost black hull to contrast with her white superstructure. The previous arch and communications mast has also been replaced with a carbon composite sun awning hardtop made by Royal Huisman’s sister company, Rondal. Both the main deck and bridge deck have been installed with new teak and furniture.

For the hull extension, the original transom was removed and replaced with a new stern complete with large swim platform and a contemporary beach club. The sundeck meanwhile offers a bar, a brand new hot tub and the addition of a day head.

The interiors have also been given a contemporary update, changing from dark wooden panelling to completely new materials. The crew areas have also been given an update, and the audio-visual systems throughout have been upgraded along with the navigation equipment and communications systems.

The Owner also wanted to change M/Y BROADWATER’s classification from ‘private’ to ‘commercial’ use for charter purposes. To this end, M/Y BROADWATER has been updated to modern standards with the installation of board systems including an emergency generator and water mist fire-fighting system.

Luxury yacht BROADWATER will have an extensive photoshoot before the end of the year, revealing the details of her beautiful new interiors and exterior spaces.
