The Carver 47 Motor Yacht is a 49-foot luxury flybridge yacht that was produced by the award-winning Wisconsin-based yacht-building company Carver Yachts between the years of 2011 and 2014. An eye-catching modern form boasts super-sharp lines, blade-like glazing and an assertive, muscular profile, while living spaces are split between Aegean-themed outdoor lounges and space-maximizing interior retreats. Designed in collaboration with the BMW Group, this is a vessel that performs very much like a sports car, boasting a solid fiberglass hull and swift engines.
It’s all about soaking up the sun on the open-air flybridge, where an L-shaped white leather sofa is joined by a compact wet-bar station with chilled storage and a sink, along with room to aft for a set of sun loungers or tender storage. Up front you will encounter a pair of pedestal seats facing a central helm station with immense visibility and equipment like a tilting steering wheel, Simrad autopilot, digital throttles, a Raymarine E80 display screen, a Ritchie compass and hand-held VHF, along with room on the dashboard for extras of your choice.
On the foredeck there is a wide sunpad with marina-facing views, while a waterside aft-deck boasts slick white surfaces, soaring structural supports, a white leather transom sofa, space for a dining table and a chunky wet-bar station with a sink, a grill, chilled storage and even a hidden HDTV. A transom gate leads out to a full-beam bathing platform with a telescopic swim ladder perfect for enjoying warm-water swimming adventures.
A pair of glazed doors lead into a stunning main-deck salon with plush carpeting, cherrywood surrounds, two tiers of dramatic glazing, atrium windows and cathedral-like dimensions thanks to a sunken floor and a raised ceiling. A tan leather sofa, a pair of cushioned armchairs hugging a side table and a dining booth with two sofas can be found in here, while a mezzanine galley impresses with a full-height Nova Kool fridge-freezer, a Sharp combination oven, a multi-zone hob, granite-effect countertops, a wide sink and an integrated coffee maker. Instead of the traditional lower-deck Carver have instead opted for two entirely separate staterooms at either end of the yacht. To the bow there is a VIP stateroom with a skylight, a double bed, a cedar-lined closet and a swish en-suite bathroom, while to aft there is a full-beam master stateroom with a queen-sized bed, a work-desk, porthole hull windows, masses of storage and a bathroom with a wet-room waterfall shower.
There are a range of engine options available to power this sublime watercraft, with a pair of 385HP Crusader 8.1MPI shaft-drives fitted as standard. Upgrade to a pair of 480HP Yanmars, a twin-set of 460HP Caterpillar C7 Acert diesels or even two 435HP Volvo Penta shaft-drives for an extra burst of propulsion that should see your Carver 47 reach top speeds of around 30 knots. At a 22-knot cruising pace you will be able to traverse sparkling coastal waters for days on end thanks to a 562-gallon fuel tank.
