Pete and Conny, owners of Broadblue 385 "thinkpig" (ex "Magnificat")
May I say how pleased and impressed we were with the efficiency, courtesy and professionalism extended to myself and Conny during the purchase from Rumulti of our dream, a Broadblue 385. Both Robert and Ed were always available and their support and advice was made the whole experience a real joy. I have to say that Robert's experience of the 'cat' world and his contacts in the industry were invaluable, particularly in manufacturing a new hard bimini which fitted perfectly. I would be delighted to and do my best in my travels to recommend their services. Thanks guys and wishing you every success with your business.

I have known and respected Robert's contribution to the catamaran world for many years as being responsible for designing and building vessels of high integrity and performance. Having used his services recently as a broker I can say that having bought and sold several boats in the past through others, his services are thorough, efficient and friendly going "the extra mile" in representing the needs of both buyer and seller with equal integrity. If I ever decide to purchase another catamaran I will most certainly contact Robert first.

Having owned 4 catamarans from Robert Underwood's stable and crossed the Atlantic twice in his boats, I can say he certainly knows his catamarans.
John Pinagli - Broadblue 38 "Theria"
Having owned and sailed two of Robert's great catamarans over the last 20 years I am happy to say that in addition to the excellent design and quality I have always enjoyed great service whenever I have needed it.
I have sailed extensively in the UK over the years and latterly in "Theria", my Broadblue 38, in the Mediterranean in all weather conditions. Robert Underwood's catamarans are always superb sea boats, I have never felt concerned even in the roughest of conditions.
Rob Phillips - Snowgoose "Firrips"
I have owned two of Robert Underwood’s Catamarans and have sailed on many more over the past 30 years. I have had nothing but good experiences both with the catamarans and the excellent service which was offered by Robert.
Rob Monk - Snowgoose "Rasputin"
As a past owner of two catamarans built by Robert's companies I am happy to say I have always enjoyed great sailing and exceptional service.
An excerpt from Neil Ensign's book "Psychic Flight"
My Prout Catamaran, 'Psychic Flight' was a British-built boat of dreams. Francis Prout, the naval architect who designed my boat, took me out for a sail on his Snowgoose, 'Mother Goose' and I was hooked on the spot, not only by the way the yacht performed, but also by Francis's charisma. At that time, Rob Underwood was the director of Prout Catamarans and we hit it off extremely well and still do today. Of the people I've worked with over the many years of my life, Rob and his sister, Gail, possessed honesty, integrity, and generosity that are hard to find in today's business world.
Further endorsements during Robert's time as Managing Director of Broadblue Catamarans:
Yachting Monthly - Broadblue 385, Top 100 Boats of the Century (June 2006)
Proving that fully fitted interiors in catamarans don't necessarily mean stodgy performance, this boat is a very attractive alternative to designs that have proved so popular in the charter market.
Mr. Rod Carr OBE, Broadblue Catamaran owner (Chairman of the RYA)
Broadblue's craftsmanship and attention to detail is second to none; their ability to accommodate specific customer requirements is impressive and stems from their vast collective experience in building quality catamarans.
Yachting Monthly, Broadblue 385 (November 2005)
This is not just another cat, she is a thoroughly modern creation fitted out to a much higher standard than most. A boat for the discerning cruising multihull sailor.
