Research 2013 - Carver Yachts - 38 Super Sport

The 38 Super Sport is the definitive answer to fun. With two bridge configurations to choose from and a substantially large cockpit, there's always room for more guests and additional activities, whether you choose extended cruising or fishing. For those who live to fish, a sports package option is available, and includes all the must-have amenities and useful conveniences.

Foredeck access is safe and easy, while overall structural integrity is best in its class thanks to our unique C.A.S.T. system. Plus, the 38' is uniquely available with the revolutionary Volvo IPS engines equipped with the IPS Joystick Control for precision control.

Interior spaces make full use of the beam to create a more spacious salon and galley. The comfortable master stateroom is richly styled, and the guest stateroom features a double berth that converts to twins. Both feature pillow top innerspring mattresses for a more restful night onboard. Finally, handcrafted cherry wood cabinetry and furnishings featuring a superior high gloss wood finish - provide the perfect backdrop for any of the sophisticated Carver decor packages.
