Research 2013 - Carver Yachts - 36 Mariner

Carver Yachts is the leader in designing and building boats that maximize on board accommodations. Whether it's sleeping, dining, lounging or entertaining, a Carver delivers better accommodations, better construction, more comfort and more style than any other brand. And now, for 2012, there is a newly designed 36 Mariner that is enhanced around Carver's ever popular Mariner series single level floor plan. The interior layout and appointments of the new 2012 model highlights all the features that people have come to love in a Mariner series design. The yacht's stateroom, galley, dinette and salon are built upon a single floor level. There are no steps to navigate when moving from one living area to another making this yacht design truly unique and inviting. For more than forty years, people have been attracted to the many practical aspects of the Mariner series design.

People will realize that the 36 Mariner is a distinctively extraordinary type of yacht designed for the true boater. The design features a very spacious and easy-to-access bridge, which is not just an area in which to operate the yacht... it's an area for all on board to enjoy the beautiful seascape surrounding the vessel. The bridge is one of the boat's key gathering places and with seating for ten passengers everyone on board can be included in the fun.

The full beam width salon is more spacious than any other boat of this size and the large cabin side windows invite volumes of natural sunshine into the salon and galley. Fabrics, wall treatments and flooring reflect style intense thinking. The woodwork found throughout the interior of the new 2011 36 Mariner is also very impressive. Select Zatara hardwood has been hand-selected and handcrafted by skilled Carver woodsmiths, some of which are third generation yacht builders with the company. As with all Carver Mariners, storage spaces are well developed into the boat's design and comfortable accommodations are found throughout every area of the yacht.
