Research 2010 - Carver Yachts - Carver 56 Voyager SE

The 56 Voyager SE boasts a fresh, new design with added features that enhance its already exceptional layout. Built with our unique C.A.S.T. system, its superior construction is complemented by styling innovation. The spacious salon with a roomy wraparound lounge makes for an ideal entertaining spot, conveniently located on the same level as the fully equipped galley. The aircraft-style pilothouse includes a true captain's helm seat surrounded by guest seating for the whole party to enjoy the cruise together. Maneuvering the 56' is easy with the unique Carver Docking System which provides precise control and includes a wireless docking remote control.

Luxury and comfort await in three very accommodating staterooms. Newly designed vertical hull portholes bathe the full beam master stateroom in warm, natural light. Both the master and forward VIP feature en suite heads, as well as pillow top innerspring mattresses for a more restful night onboard. The third stateroom offers a versatile settee that easily converts to bunk berths.
