Research 2012 - Carver Yachts - Carver 43 Super Sport

For an exceptionally accommodating layout that's truly best in class, look no further than the 43 Super Sport. With her new, extended bridge option the model out-sizes all other yachts in the class. For a truly impressive ride, the 43' can be further equipped with the revolutionary Volvo IPS Drive system with IPS Joystick Control. And like all Carver models, structural integrity is assured through our unique C.A.S.T. system.

Added entertainment space can be found on the generously roomy cockpit or in the spacious interior layout. Uniquely designed for convenient entertaining, the full-beam salon and galley share the same level. An under-galley utility room provides abundant pantry storage, or it can accommodate an optional washer/dryer. The forward master stateroom is complemented by a true VIP stateroom - not a twin berth. Additionally, two separate heads with enclosed stall showers provide welcome privacy.
