Description

2006 Carver 39 Motor Yacht "Serendipity"

Has style and spacious accommodations, combined to create one of the most popular cruising yachts of her day. Gives you the best of both worlds, having full salon seating and a dinette. No other motor yacht in her class matched the 39MY when it came to space and comfort, and none surpassed her in versatility or value. A lot of improvements in this one! All new soft goods, furniture, vinyl, carpet, and excellent service records. Fresh bottom paint, buff & wax, engines and generator just serviced. The list goes on…. Mostly a freshwater boat in covered slip.

Full Details

Overview

A truly radical design for Carver when she was introduced in 2000 with tier elliptical cabin windows, high freeboard and Euro styling. On the inside, the 39MY is a stunning display of interior volume unmatched in a boat this size. The salon – easily the most impressive aspect of the boat is immense with a panoramic outside view and about seven feet of headroom. The full-beam salon configuration is made possible by raising the side decks to eye level, which is why the boat appears to have so much freeboard. Both staterooms have walk-around double berths, and there are separate stall showers for each head. The new dinette floorplan became available and the preferred setup in most cases. Wing doors and a hardtop protect the aft deck from the elements; a molded stairway leads to the swimming platform, and there’s seating for a small crowd on the flybridge.
