Carver 500 Cockpit Motor Yacht
US$ 238,160CA
Huge living spaces, recent 1000-hour service on twin Cummins, clean and bright with assumable liveaboard moorage. It is one of the nicest in-water condos you can buy.
Bring your sunglasses because this boat is so clean, it sparkles. There are so many windows, it’s as bright as the outdoors. Take your shoes off because you’ll want to feel all the plush carpet between your toes. Stow about twenty truckloads of stuff in the massive amounts of cupboards, closets, nooks, and crannies. Assume your position at the helm, let loose the lines, use the bow thruster to maneuver out of the marina, and find that fishing hole fast with those twin Cummins diesels with 840 horses galloping away in the engine room. Drop a line, drop a trap, cook it up in a galley with more countertop space than most condos, and have service for six around the dinette with a view of the pristine Gulf Islands.
After dinner, enjoy sundowners on the cockpit or the flybridge. Throw the kids overboard because it’s time to get them off the Starlink-connected screens and into the water. Hose ‘em down on the swim grid with the hot/cold shower. Clean their clothes in the washer and dryer. While that’s happening, grab yourself a glass of wine and some bubble bath and enjoy a soak in the tub. Finally, crawl on top of that new mattress in the master stateroom and sleep like a baby.
When you woke up this morning, this was just a dream. But when you wake up tomorrow, this dream boat could be your reality. All you have to do is call.
