1997 Carver 400 Cockpit Motor Yacht

This 1997 Carver 400 is a 40-foot fiberglass motor yacht with a distinctive cockpit aft cabin design. Twin Crusader 454 fuel-injected engines power the boat, paired with a refurbished 6.5kW Kohler generator. The layout combines traditional cruiser comfort with the practical accessibility of a cockpit—accessible directly from the aft stateroom or via spiral staircase from the aft deck—making it well suited for extended cruising, entertaining, or liveaboard use.

The interior features warm teak finishes and abundant natural light. Two private staterooms include an aft master with direct cockpit access, and both full heads are equipped with showers and VacuFlush toilets. The salon offers an ultra-leather reclining L-shaped sofa and dinette with storage. The galley is fully equipped with a Vitrifrigo 12V/110V refrigerator-freezer, Princess 3-burner electric cooktop with oven, microwave, and large sink. Climate control comes from a newer Dometic reverse-cycle air conditioning and heating system.

The helm is fitted with a Garmin 5212 GPS chartplotter, radar, depth sounder, and FloScan fuel monitoring system. A Sunbrella Bimini top with full enclosure and dual seating provide navigation comfort. The aft deck features a fiberglass hardtop with full enclosure, wet bar with sink and ice maker, and Plexiglas side deck doors. The swim platform includes a storage box with lounge pad and boarding ladder with Easy-Up handles.

The boat includes numerous mechanical upgrades and systems: bow thruster with helm and handheld remote, dual anchor setup with washdown system, dinghy davit system with transom-mounted crane, dedicated AGM batteries with smart charger, Halon fire suppression, Marinco shore power with ground fault protection, and Racor fuel filtration with vacuum gauges. Extensive spare parts, full manuals, and maintenance records are included.
