1988 Carver 4207 Aft Cabin Motoryacht

Step aboard and you’ll notice how much livable volume Carver packed into 42 feet. The wide beam and tall salon windows give you that “condo on the water” feel, with excellent sightlines for keeping an eye on the hook or the dock. The hardtop and solid railings around the aft deck make it a comfortable, secure spot for evening cocktails or morning coffee, even when the breeze is up. Wide side decks and stout grab rails make line handling and fender work straightforward for a cruising couple. Storage is abundant—under berths, in lockers, and beneath salon seating—so extended weekends don’t feel like a game of Tetris with your gear.

The 4207 is particularly well-suited for the varied conditions found in this region. Its substantial hull and broad beam offer a reassuring ride when afternoon chop builds, while the modest draft helps you tuck into protected coves and quieter marinas. The large aft deck and open bridge are ideal for enjoying long, mild shoulder seasons, yet the enclosed salon gives you a comfortable retreat when the weather turns. With two true staterooms and generous tankage, it works equally well as a seasonal liveaboard or a cruising platform for visiting surrounding harbors and anchorages without feeling constrained by space or range.
