1989 Carver 340 Santego

Step aboard this 340 Santego and the first thing you notice is the wide, open cockpit and easy flow straight into the cabin—no awkward climbs or tight squeezes. The molded steps up to the bridge make line handling and docking far less of a gymnastics routine, and once you’re up there, the visibility underway is excellent. Below, the open-concept salon feels much larger than a typical 34-footer, with generous headroom and wraparound seating that converts for guests. The forward berth offers real privacy thanks to a clever layout, and there’s ample storage tucked into every corner for extended weekends. It’s a boat designed for lounging, socializing, and actually using every inch of space.

A 340 Santego is particularly well-suited to this area’s mix of busy harbors, open stretches, and protected anchorages. The express-style layout with an elevated bridge gives you the sightlines you want when threading through traffic or watching for markers in shifting light. The broad beam and open cockpit make it comfortable for afternoon raft-ups or entertaining at the dock, while the roomy cabin and separate shower mean you can stay aboard comfortably when weather keeps you in port. Twin inboards give you confident handling in tighter marinas, and the generous fuel and storage capacity make longer weekend hops practical and relaxed.
