47 Motor Yacht
The Carver 38 Super Sport is a 40-foot sports cruiser with a flybridge that was produced between the years of 2005 and 2013 by the iconic Wisconsin-based yacht-building firm Carver Yachts. Jagged angles, swooping lines, tight curves and blade-sharp glazing give this yacht a streamlined and assertive form from profile, promising plenty of raw power. A reinforced fiberglass hull and rugged engines deliver on this promise, while spacious and well-appointed living areas provide families with plenty of room to relax.

There are two layout options up here with the helm station either pushed forward or positioned aft. Either way, you can expect a trio of leather helm seats facing a dashboard with Garmin display screens, Raymarine autopilot, bow thruster controls, Standard Horizon VHF radio, Seakey GPS, power-assisted steering and a Ritchie compass. There’s also space for a white leather sofa up here along with a wet-bar station with a sink, chilled storage and an optional grill.
Down in the main-deck cockpit there is plenty of room for a dining table and chairs, sun-loungers or even, thanks to a strengthened deck, a fighting chair. This space switches between sporty and laid-back, with Perko rod-holders, in-sole lockers, a transom livewell and a bait-prep freezer available as optional upgrades, while a transom door leads out to a full-beam bathing platform perfect for salt-water swims with the kids.
A set of curved glazed doors slide open to reveal a cavernous main-deck salon with two tiers of glazing, cathedral-like dimensions, light cherrywood surrounds, plush carpeting, atrium-style windows and masses of comfortable white leather on display. There’s a sprawling side sofa facing a home entertainment system and a bespoke set of cabinets, while another sofa wraps around a dining table lined in African burlwood for meal service. A semi-open galley on a sunken level boasts timber cabinets, granite-effect countertops, Nova Kool fridge-freezer units, a Sharp combination oven, a multi-zone Princess hob, a stainless-steel sink and an integrated Black & Decker coffee maker.
On the lower-deck there is sleeping space for up to four overnight guests across a pair of spacious staterooms, one of which boasts a lavish en-suite complete with a vanity mirror, a flush toilet, brushed fiberglass surrounds and a waterfall shower cubicle. One of the cabins is large enough for a pair of twin beds and a full-height cedar-lined locker, while another features a queen-sized bed, a skylight and two closets.
Powered by twin 310HP Volvo Penta IPS D6 inboard engines, 315HP Yanmar diesels or even two Crusader V8 gasoline motors, you can expect top speeds to blow past the 25-knot mark at full throttle. You will cruise this yacht at a pace of around 21 knots, while thanks to a fuel tank holding 278 gallons of juice you can expect to traverse coastal waters for days on end before requiring a top-up.
