Journey - Carver Yachts FOR SALE

The Carver 450 Voyager Pilothouse is a refined pilothouse motor yacht that blends liveaboard comfort with bluewater confidence. Below, two exceptionally generous double suites each enjoy private en-suite facilities, with the forward head also serving discreetly as a day head. The salon is bathed in natural light through expansive side windows and offers abundant, inviting seating that encourages relaxed conversation. To starboard and facing forward, a thoughtfully elevated pilothouse with a dining settee creates a social command lounge, while the linear galley runs along the port side for effortless service and flow—hallmarks of a luxury cruiser, flybridge motor yacht, and powerboat built for entertaining and passagemaking.

On the extended flybridge, there is ample space to stow a Jetski or tender on a dedicated cradle, attended by a MarQuipt 600 lb davit for easy launch and retrieval. From the helm, visibility is commanding, and the bridge wet bar with Uline ice maker keeps refreshments close at hand. Navigation is confidently handled by a Garmin 12-inch multifunction display paired with 18HD radar and a depth sounder, complemented by a Hawk depth system with its own transducers, a 4-inch Ritchie compass, and both forward and aft backup cameras. A clever flip-down radar and camera mast lets you slip beneath low bridges without fuss, while blue accent lighting and crisp white floods set the evening ambiance. The pilothouse below mirrors this capability with a wraparound settee and a large removable table beside the lower helm, outfitted with a Raymarine VHF, a second 4-inch Ritchie compass, and its own dedicated air-conditioning unit—ideal for all-weather cruising.

The main salon exudes warmth with rich cherry cabinetry and an elegant wet bar. A large smart TV rises smoothly on a lift for movie nights or disappears to preserve the view. Two plush couches welcome guests, one transforming from a recliner for lounging to the perfect reading perch, the other converting into a pull-out berth when extra accommodation is needed. An adjustable coffee table adapts from casual cocktails to more formal service, underlining the yacht’s aptitude as a versatile family cruiser and sophisticated sport yacht for entertaining.

Accommodations forward and to starboard deliver serene retreats. Both staterooms feature cherry wood joinery, queen-size berths topped with new mattresses, and smart TVs for private unwinding. The forward suite’s head doubles smartly as a day head, while the starboard suite benefits from a fully en-suite arrangement, underscoring the yacht’s pedigreed motoryacht design and liveaboard sensibility.

The galley, laid out longitudinally to port, is optimized for cooking underway and hosting at anchor. Cherry cabinetry pairs with a hardwood sole and Corian countertops for a timeless, durable finish. A well-equipped appliance suite includes sink, refrigerator, microwave, oven, stove, coffee maker, and an exhaust fan to keep the space fresh—everything needed for extended cruising or a weekend getaway.

On deck, the foredeck invites sun-drenched relaxation with a forward sun pad and cover, while handling ground tackle is straightforward thanks to a Maxwell 1200 windlass with foot controls. A washdown with hose keeps the bow spotless, and a remote-control LED spotlight stands ready for night approaches. Aft, the cockpit is arranged for easy waterfront living, offering an outdoor shower with temperature control, a second washdown, generous storage, and a 50-amp shore power connection served by a Cablemaster electric reel system. The swim platform—fitted with VersaChock for tender or PWC chocks—holds neatly stowed swim ladder storage, while a stainless grill and a dedicated fish-cutting table elevate alfresco dining. Evening gatherings glow with blue floodlights, accent lights, and purposeful deck illumination.

Behind the scenes, the electrical and mechanical specification speaks to reliability and range. A Kohler 13.5 kW generator (Model 13.50007) with sound shield supplies quiet ship’s power. Climate control is comprehensive with four Cruisair reverse-cycle air-conditioning units with heat, and hot water is on tap via an efficient heater. Ship systems include a 50-amp shore power cable with Cablemaster, three Rule 2000 GPH bilge pumps, a twin vacuum-pump dry-bilge system, an oil-change manifold, the Maxwell 1200 windlass, and a MarQuipt 600 lb dinghy davit.

In the engine room, twin Cummins 6CTA 8.3 Diamond Series diesels deliver 450 hp each, freshwater cooled and benefitting from turbo aftercoolers renewed in December 2020. Power is transmitted through ZF Hurth IRM280A.1 straight-drive gearboxes for smooth, dependable performance. Fuel is polished by Racor filtration, and seawater circuits are thoughtfully engineered: a washdown pump allows selection of onboard fresh or raw water, while the A/C cooling loop features a plumbed clean-out system for individual air-conditioning units—practical details that matter offshore.

Bridge clearance is equally well considered: with the radar and camera mast lowered, you slip under at roughly 16 feet; raised, clearance is about 18.5 feet. Altogether, this Carver 450 Voyager Pilothouse presents as a polished flybridge motor yacht and luxury liveaboard cruiser—an elegant, capable powerboat engineered for comfortable coastal passages, extended weekends, and carefree time on the water.
