The 2005 Carver 396 is a 40-foot aft-cabin motor yacht built on a modified-V fiberglass hull, powered by twin Volvo gasoline engines producing 750 horsepower combined. The raised walkdeck design maximizes interior volume while keeping the profile low, and the boat draws approximately 3 feet 6 inches, making it suitable for coastal and inland waterway cruising. Fuel capacity is 330 gallons, with fresh water and holding tank storage of 90 and 72 gallons respectively.
The interior centers on a bright, open salon with full-beam layout and nearly 7 feet of headroom throughout. A forward guest stateroom has a queen island berth with en-suite head featuring separate shower and toilet compartments. The master stateroom aft includes a walkaround queen, private head with shower stall, and transom escape hatch. The galley, situated to port in a sunken area, holds a full-size refrigerator, three-burner electric cooktop, convection microwave, and ample cabinetry. High-gloss cherry woodwork, tiered windows, and an entertainment system with television and stereo complete the accommodations.
The command bridge seats six around a centerline helm with full instrumentation and excellent sightlines. A wet bar with refrigerator option sits nearby. The expansive aft deck, protected by hardtop and wing doors, provides sheltered entertainment space with molded-in stairway access to the bridge. The integral swim platform includes a concealing telescoping ladder and transom storage locker. Foredeck sunpad, canvas enclosure with carpet, central vacuum, and climate control round out the amenities.
