Overview
About this vessel
The Rodman 870 remains one of the most respected sub-30ft flybridge cruisers on the market. Offering genuine offshore capability, economical twin diesel performance and a remarkably spacious layout, she is a versatile all-rounder equally suited to family cruising, fishing or extended coastal passages. Madness of Poole is a particularly smart example that presents in excellent condition and is ready for immediate enjoyment.
The Rodman 870 Flybridge has established itself as one of the most capable compact offshore cruisers of its generation, combining exceptional seakeeping, solid Spanish construction and the reassuring simplicity of twin shaft-drive diesel engines. Equally suited to family cruising, offshore fishing or extended weekends away, the 870 offers a practical layout, generous outdoor space and comfortable accommodation within a highly manageable size.
This 2010 example is powered by twin Volvo Penta D3-170 diesel engines and presents in excellent order throughout. Her spacious flybridge, secure walkaround side decks and large self-draining cockpit make her an ideal cruising platform, while the bright interior comfortably accommodates four people.
Build
Built by Rodman Polyships in Spain, the vessel features a white GRP deep-V planing hull with GRP deck and superstructure. The self-draining cockpit and flybridge with seating provide excellent outdoor spaces. She is rated CE Category B Offshore.
Mechanical and Electricals
The engines are serviced and well-maintained, with timing belts replaced, antifouled, anodes changed and engines fully serviced in April/May 2025. Conventional shaft drive runs to four bladed bronze props fitted with rope cutters. Twin-lever engine controls and hydraulic steering provide straightforward operation, complemented by electric engine room ventilation and sound insulation. The 12V DC electrical system includes battery banks, shore power connection, battery charger, and comprehensive interior and navigation lighting.
Electronics
Navigation and fish-finding capability is provided by Raymarine plotters and a 4kw digital radar. An autopilot with remote control, compass, and Icom DSC VHF round out the electronics suite. A Pioneer radio/CD player with cabin speakers provides entertainment, while helm and rudder indicators assist boat handling.
Accommodation
The accommodation has been thoughtfully designed to maximise both comfort and practicality. Forward is a generous V-berth that converts to a comfortable double, complemented by useful storage and an overhead hatch providing natural light and ventilation. The saloon features a convertible dinette creating a further small double berth, allowing comfortable overnight accommodation for four adults.
Opposite, the compact galley is equipped with a sink, hob, refrigerator and ample storage, while the separate heads compartment incorporates a marine WC, wash basin and shower facility. Large windows throughout create a bright, airy atmosphere, making the interior feel remarkably spacious for a yacht of this size.
The large self-draining cockpit is one of the Rodman's defining features, providing an excellent space for entertaining, fishing or relaxing at anchor. Wide side decks with substantial stainless steel guardrails allow safe access forward, while the bathing platform and boarding ladder make access to and from the water straightforward.
The flybridge offers commanding visibility from the upper helm and generous seating for guests, creating an excellent social space underway or in harbour. A second fully equipped lower helm provides comfortable all-weather operation from within the saloon.
Deck Equipment
The vessel is equipped with an anchor and electric windlass (replaced 2024), guardrail and swim ladder for safety and access. Cockpit shower with fresh water and deckwash with sea water provide practical conveniences. Windscreen wipers and washers, canvas cover for flybridge, teak capping on gunnels, cockpit rails with rod holders, stainless steel radar arch, cleats fore aft and midship, foredeck hatch to forward cabin, and canvas cover for front and side windows complete the deck outfit.
Safety Equipment
The vessel is equipped with Engine Bay Fireboy fire suppressant, a 2k fire extinguisher, radar reflector and horn. Automatic and manual bilge pumps provide additional safety.
