1995 Carver 430 Cockpit Motor Yacht

Carver 430 CPMY – ALL FRESHWATER – 2 Staterooms / 2 Heads, Cockpit, Generator & A/C

Hard to find in this configuration, and ALL freshwater. Yes please!

The Carver 430 Cockpit Motor Yacht is sought after for two very good reasons. First, you get a true dock-level cockpit with easy water access and, even better, private direct access into the aft owner's stateroom. It is one of those features that seems obvious once you've had it—and is surprisingly hard to find on a traditional motor yacht.

Second: two legitimate staterooms, each with its own ensuite head and separate enclosed shower. That makes the 430 exceptionally functional for couples traveling together, family weekends, or anyone considering extended stays aboard.

This particular 430 has another major advantage: it has spent its life in freshwater, on the Tennessee River and Lake Lanier. Powered by twin Crusader 502XL direct-drives, it offers the straightforward big-block gas powertrain these boats were designed around, along with a generator and dual-zone climate control.

The salon is genuinely spacious, with excellent natural light, plenty of seating for dining or relaxing, and enough separation between the forward and aft accommodations to give everyone some privacy. The full galley feels much more residential than you'd expect aboard a boat this size, including a full-size refrigerator/freezer and an actual oven.

And then there's my favorite unnecessarily wonderful Carver detail: a little remote knob at the galley sink that operates the drain stopper. Why this isn't already standard equipment in my house, I don't know.

Recent updates include:

• Salon A/C with reverse-cycle heat recently replaced
• Second climate-control unit updated within approximately the last two years
• New batteries

Outside, the enclosed aft deck and flybridge provide substantial entertaining and lounging space, while the cockpit completely changes how the boat interacts with the water. Swimming, loading gear, stepping aboard from the dock, or just sitting closer to the lake is dramatically easier than on a conventional aft-cabin motor yacht.

For someone shopping around the $100,000 motor-yacht range and prioritizing space, comfort and functionality, the Carver 430 CPMY deserves a serious look. You get two private suites, two full heads with separate showers, a large salon, real galley, generator, dual A/C, substantial outdoor living space, and that extremely desirable cockpit—all wrapped up in an all-freshwater Lake Lanier boat.

We work by appointment mainly, so reach out and set it up!
