Research 2010 - Carver Yachts - Carver 44 Sojourn

Overview
Carver has a reputation for creating people friendly boats with unmatched accommodations and superior construction quality. Our new Carver 44 Sojourn builds on this tradition and combines these attributes with Volvo IPS joystick controlled drives for superior operating efficiency and superb close quarter's maneuverability.

This dynamic new yacht has more bridge, cockpit, swim platform and salon space than any other yacht in its class. And this space is contained within a floor plan that incorporates a minimum of steps. You will be amazed how easy it is for you and your guests to move about the 44 Sojourn. The wide side decks and direct access to the foredeck from the bridge will be appreciated by all on board. The expansive swim platform and large cockpit put the owners and their guests within easy access to the water and provides a sturdy platform to store and transport a PWC or launch.

Other features of the 44 Sojourn include two private staterooms and two enclosed head compartments. The dinette table converts to a double berth giving the yacht a total overnight capacity of six people.

The 44 Sojourn is available in a variety of either gasoline or diesel propulsion configurations.
