Overview
This 1990 45' Carver Californian is hard to beat when it comes to a boat purely suited to cruising comfort. "MERCHANT MARINE" is a one example of a boat that's been maintained, as well as updated, by knowledgeable owners over the course of her years. From mechanical to cosmetic, proper care has been taken to ensure she's in turn-key, sail-away condition at any time. Boasting 2 staterooms (full beam master), 2 heads, a comfortable salon, large galley, lower helm, enclosed full beam aft-deck and flybridge with updated helm. She rivals any of the larger cruising boats out there, at a fraction of the price. She's mechanically sound, and the owners have performed a number of nice upgrades.

Vessel Overview
Turn key and Ready for the Bahamas or Great Loop!
For the last 13 years this well-equipped Aft Cabin Carver Californian Motoryacht has been owned and cared for by an experienced, live-aboard cruising couple . She offers an incredibly comfortable layout which belies her size. A large galley and full size fridge, very comfortable salon, full beam master with updated en-suite head, including a bathtub with shower, acres of storage, a wonderful aft deck with screen and eisenglass enclosures, full walk around side-decks, an AB tender with an electric Weaver davit system... the list goes on.
The current owners completed the great loop last season, checking the last box of a nice list of cruising goals, and have decided to move on from boating - which is good news for the next owner as everything boat related conveys with the sale of MERCHANT MARINE - Including cleaning supplies, fluids, filters, belts, and a HUGE inventory of spares - to say she’s turn key and cruise ready is an understatement.
Salon
Down a few steps from the flush aft deck, MERCHANT MARINE"s spacious makes for a comfortable living space for he cruising couple. It includes ample storage and countertop space along the port side with a flush mounted Philips flat screen TV, an unintrusive but functional lower helm station forward, and seating along the starboard side as well as a custom-made lighted drink cabinet.
