Research 2011 - Carver Yachts - 47 Motor Yacht

~Overview
Innovative design, all-out luxury, and C.A.S.T.-built construction - you'll find it, and more, in the remarkable 47 Motor Yacht. Aggressive styling is unmistakable in the innovative exterior lines and styling influenced by our collaboration with world-renowned design experts, BMW Group DesignworksUSA. Interior spaces are impressively maximized by the full beam concept, while large hull portholes maximize the natural light in all cabins.
Added comfort and privacy highlight the popular layout featuring two spacious staterooms with en suite heads. The expansive master stateroom includes generous storage, a desk with vanity and computer connections, and a private entrance from the cockpit. The large aft deck provides the perfect entertainment spot with the added choice of optional LCD TV (built to durable marine grade standards) and essential wet bar. Available with an optional bridge hardtop, the 47 boasts the largest fuel capacity in her class and the exclusive Carver Docking System.
