1998 Broward 103

Broward Marine is a ship builder began business as a refit and repair facility and delivered their first yacht in 1953 in South Florida.  Another notable delivery was to the owner of Jim Beam Distilleries in 1958. They also had a hand in building minesweeping vessels for NATO contracts before shifting back to a focus on yacht building, bringing technical shipbuilding experience to their yacht customers.   

With over 300 Broward Yachts built and a popular following over the years for owners and their families cruising every major yachting market in North America and beyond.

Their all aluminum series went into production in the 1970s and saw the first ever triple diesel engine yacht built with their 92 ft M/Y Jervet.    Another fascinating delivery was  the 112 foot M/Y Britannia with triple Detroits for a blistering 43 knot speed in the late 1980s. In the 1990s other deliveries included the tri-deck M/Y Pegasus, also a triple engine yacht in 130 feet, and the 156 foot M/Y Bubba Too as the largest US aluminum delivery at that time.  (Source: The-Triton com, Boat International, shipbuildinghistory com)

The Flybridge 

This is naturally one of the popular areas aboard.  Whether cruising in sunshine or rain, this space provides excellent viewing with the protection of the hardtop, large bright polycarb windows that can slide aside for fresh air, and 4 overhead glass panels that allow light to the flybridge.  This space, too, takes advantage of the full beam and puts your viewing and windows right at the beam.  A centerline area for serving alfresco meals and beverages throughout the day give it a natural gravity for conversations and company.  

With both covered areas as well as settees for relaxing in the sunshine on the boat deck, the Flybridge is a wonderful space enjoyed by all.  Port and Starboard dockin stations – in addition to the centerline helm – allow for lengthwise visibility to the dock while docking.
