Broker Overview

This 1997 Broward 108 Raised Pilothouse represents a significant opportunity in the superyacht market. Broward is renowned for its robust aluminum construction, offering a lighter, stronger hull compared to fiberglass, which translates to better performance and longevity. At 108 feet, she provides substantial volume, ideal for extended cruising or as a private charter platform. The raised pilothouse configuration is a classic design choice, offering excellent visibility from the helm and separating the operational area from guest spaces. While a 1997 build, a Broward of this caliber, if well-maintained and refitted, can offer immense value compared to new builds. The asking price of $4,150,000 places her competitively for a vessel of this size and pedigree. Buyers should anticipate a thorough survey and potentially some refit considerations typical for a yacht of this vintage, but the underlying quality of a Broward hull is undeniable. This vessel is designed for serious cruising and comfortable living, offering a blend of classic yachting elegance and practical functionality.

Expert Review

The 1997 Broward 108 Raised Pilothouse exemplifies the brand's commitment to robust, semi-custom aluminum construction. These yachts are built to last, offering excellent structural integrity and a stable platform, even in challenging conditions. Sea-keeping is generally very good, with their displacement or semi-displacement hulls providing a comfortable ride. For a vessel of this age, the primary focus during a survey should be on the condition of the aluminum hull for any electrolysis or corrosion, the state of the Caterpillar engines and associated machinery, and the integrity of all systems. Interior finishes are likely to reflect the late 90s aesthetic, so a buyer should budget for potential refit work to modernize. Value for money is strong, as a comparable new build would be exponentially more. Alternatives might include certain older Feadships or Westport models, but the Broward offers a distinct build quality. A pre-purchase survey by an aluminum specialist is highly recommended.
