This 2003 Carver 444 Cockpit Motor Yacht is a 44-foot fiberglass cruiser built around exceptional interior volume and thoughtful layout. The defining feature is a 60-square-foot cockpit opening to a vast salon with nearly seven feet of headroom and panoramic windows, achieved through raised side decks that create substantial freeboard. The boat accommodates three queen beds across two staterooms, each with full showers, plus the salon's pull-out queen sofa. Additional amenities include a full galley with three-burner electric stove, convection oven, ice maker, and refrigerator-freezer, along with a wet bar at the helm and central vacuum throughout.
Power comes from twin Volvo Penta TAMD63P engines rated at 370 horsepower each, driving the boat at approximately 16 knots while consuming 25 to 30 gallons per hour total. The engines carry 1,150 and 1,152 hours respectively. A Kohler 8-kilowatt generator with 1,174 hours supports the electrical system. Fuel capacity is 404 gallons diesel, fresh water 90 gallons, and holding tank 72 gallons. The boat features a bow thruster, trim tabs, autopilot, and recent navigation electronics including a Ray Marine GPS system installed in 2023.
The yacht has been continuously kept in fresh water on the Upper Chesapeake Bay for at least the last two decades and shows low engine hours relative to age. Canvas, Eisenglass, and screens were replaced in late summer 2018. The design prioritizes accessibility, with multiple boarding points adjustable for tide height and walk-through deck space to the bow. Accommodations include cherry wood cabinetry, individual climate control for the salon and both staterooms, deck lighting, and a comprehensive fire suppression system with annual inspections. Two stainless steel heads feature Vacuflush marine toilets.
