Research 2013 - Carver Yachts - Carver 54 Voyager

Carver's Voyager class yachts are designed and outfitted for people who love to explore faraway places. Built for long range cruising, a Carver Voyager class yacht will deliver its owners and their passengers to exciting new harbors in ultimate comfort and grand style. The new Carver 54V is built on the proven and popular Voyager Series platform. The yacht's eye catching profile is configured as a true pilot house yacht, incorporating a spacious extended fly bridge, lower helm and highly functional salon and cockpit that come together in a logical symmetry that blend into the yacht's character. Below decks you will be impressed with the rich combination of Zatara oak hardwood, luxurious fabrics and quality appliances. The designers at Carver have integrated these materials in a way that creates a more spacious and more comfortable environment than other similar sized yachts. The unique Zatara oak is used to craft cabinets, bulkheads and cabin doors. Zatara is an exotic cut of wood that is finished using a process unique to Carver. This durable finish protects the wood while highlighting the rich, natural character of the select oak hardwood's grain and golden hue. The 54V benefits from Carver's 50+ year experience in building practical pleasure vessels that represent the best styling, value, quality and durability in their class.
