1988 Knight & Carver Motoryacht

This 78-foot Knight & Carver motoryacht was designed as a multi-purpose platform combining cruising capability with entertaining space. Her 20.6-foot beam provides the stability and interior volume that distinguish larger yachts, yet her size remains practical for both coastal exploration and dockside hospitality. Twin Caterpillar diesel engines deliver 2,000 horsepower, enabling a cruising speed of 12 knots and a maximum speed of 17 knots.

The layout accommodates diverse uses—extended cruising, family time, or hosting groups. Her open plan works equally well at anchor or alongside, suited to fishing expeditions, wildlife observation, or professional gatherings. The boat has logged considerable distance, including passages through California waters, the Sea of Cortez, and the Panama Canal, demonstrating genuine ocean-going capability built into her design.

Constructed in fiberglass with a thoughtful interior arrangement, this motoryacht represents a class of yacht no longer commonly built. She functions as both a capable cruising platform and a comfortable floating base for whatever purpose her owner chooses.
