47 Motor Yacht
The Carver 530 Voyager is a 53-foot luxury flybridge yacht produced by award-winning Wisconsin-based yacht-building firm Carver Yachts between the years of 1998 and 2004. Sporty and striking from profile, this stylish watercraft continues to look fashionable to the present day thanks to its sleek curves, wrap-around glazing, assertive entry and wealth of sun-kissed outdoor deck spaces. Interiors present the very best of that late 90s vintage style, with plenty of rounded edges, hand-finished cabinets and a sedate, classic appeal. Perfect for coastal cruising with the entire family, the 530 Voyager features a medium-V hull with a 13-degree transom deadrise for a peerless ride.
The al-fresco flybridge boasts a U-shaped white leather sofa and a twin-seat that surround a fiberglass dining table with integrated cup-holders, along with a wet-bar console with room for a sink, refrigeration and an outdoor grill. Up front there is bench seating facing a modern upper helm with power-steering, Twin Disc electronic throttles, VHF radio, a mounted Ritchie compass, bow and stern thruster controls and an optional docking joystick. To the rear of the bridge there is either an elevated sunpad or a tender storage area with an integrated hydraulic crane.
Soak up the rays out on a double foredeck sunpad, or head back to the aft-cockpit where you can expect a non-slip sole, a transom sofa, room for a dining table and a gate out to a fixed bathing platform with a swim ladder. Underneath the cockpit there’s a separate crew cabin with a private head should you need staff assistance on your adventures. Tinted sliding glass doors lead into a handsome salon with cherrywood surrounds, cream-toned carpeting and Ultraleather furnishings, including an L-shaped sofa and an armchair. Ahead of this there is a walk-in galley with granite countertops, a curved serving bar with a hidden wine cooler, a steel sink, a multi-zone Princess hob, a combination oven and masses of Sub-Zero chilled storage. At the front of the main-deck there is a swish elevated pilot-house with a wrap-around cushioned sofa and a single piloting chair facing a comprehensive set of helm controls.
The lower-deck offers secluded sleeping quarters for up to six overnight guests, with a timber-lined bunk berth that is ideal for the kids able to be exchanged for an office. By the bow there is a double cabin with a skylight, oval portholes, a hanging locker and a Jack-and-Jill en-suite, while amidships there is a master stateroom. This palatial suite features a king-sized bed, full-height closets, porthole glazing and a semi-open bathroom with a wet-room shower and a handsome vanity station with a molded sink, timber surrounds and a bespoke mirror.
Powered by twin 450HP Cummins 450C diesel engines or a pair of 480HP Volvo Penta TAMD 73P inboards, you can expect top speeds in excess of 25 knots. At a cruising speed of approximately 15 knots you can expect a range of up to 445 miles, while a solidly built hull keeps engine sound levels below the 80-decibel mark at all times.
