About this vessel
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.

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.
