The Carver 56 Voyager is a 59-foot luxury flybridge yacht that was produced by the renowned Wisconsin-based builder Carver Yachts between the years of 2011 and 2014. This sporty, dual-helm model features plenty of smooth curves, structural flares and a wealth of sun-kissed outdoor relaxation spaces to make it the perfect coastal cruiser. Sophisticated interiors with a hand-crafted finish and entirely deluxe materials can accommodate a family in style, while a rugged fiberglass hull and efficient engines promote long-distance exploration.
This vessel’s crowning achievement has to be the flybridge, a chic and elevated space topped by a floating hard-top. There’s room to aft for tender storage or a sun-kissed set of loungers, while further forward a pair of curved sofas surround a circular dining table. Make use of the wet-bar station up here to grill burgers, chill your ice-cubes and store ice-cold drinks, and head to the front of the bridge to man the outdoor helm controls.
Out on the foredeck there are twin modular sunpads in piped upholstery with superb marina-facing views, while side-decks lined by high guardrails lead back to a shaded and teak-lined aft-cockpit. In here you will discover a plush Ultraleather transom sofa, a drink cooler and a transom gate out to a full-beam hydraulic bathing platform with a swim ladder and a sports lazarette.
Tinted sliding glass doors lead into a sedate main-deck salon with panoramic side glazing, high-gloss cherrywood surrounds, plush carpeting underfoot, leather panelling and bronze-effect accents. A set of cabinets, an armchair, an L-shaped leather sofa and a coffee table will be discovered upon entry, while further forward there is a walk-in galley with an at-home vibe. This kitchen boasts a timber sole, granite-effect work surfaces, Vitrifrigo refrigeration, a multi-zone Princess hob, a combination oven, a dishwasher, a wine cooler and a steel sink. Up front there is a slightly elevated pilothouse with immense visibility through mullioned windscreen glazing, a side sofa and a leather-backed piloting chair facing the lower-helm. Expect to find Garmin display screens, power-assisted steering, bow and stern thruster controls, VHF radio, a Ritchie compass, autopilot and a docking joystick in here.
A three-cabin, two-head layout on the lower-deck offers a serene retreat for up to six overnight guests with plenty of room to spread out. A bunk-berth and a VIP stateroom with a skylight, a queen bed and masses of cabinet space share access to a bathroom with a shower stall, while a full-beam master stateroom impresses with a queen-sized bed, two cedar-lined lockers, bedside cabinets, triple mullion hull windows and a lavish en-suite with a waterfall shower cubicle.
Powered by twin 675HP Volvo Penta D12 diesel inboard engines or even a pair of 715HP Caterpillar C12 Acert motors, you should expect top speeds touching the 30-knot mark. At an optimum cruising speed of 19 knots, meanwhile, you will enjoy a cruising range of approximately 368 nautical miles thanks to a capacious 800-gallon fuel tank.
