1999 Carver 404 Cockpit Motor Yacht

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the 404’s raised salon windows pour light into the cabin, making it feel more like a floating condo than a typical motor yacht of this size. The two-stateroom, two-head layout gives owners and guests real privacy, with a separate shower stall that’s surprisingly generous. Up top, the command bridge has excellent sightlines fore and aft, helped by the elevated helm and open aft deck—great for backing into a slip or watching the sunset. Storage is abundant, from deep galley lockers to cockpit lazarettes, so weekend gear and cruising provisions tuck away neatly. Wide side decks and sturdy railings make line handling secure, even when conditions get bumpy.

For local waters that mix tighter marinas with open stretches, the 404 Cockpit Motor Yacht hits a sweet spot. Its overall length delivers comfortable sea manners, while the integrated cockpit makes short-handed docking far less stressful. The modest draft lets you nose into shallower anchorages and explore quieter coves that deeper boats pass by. Broad side decks and a secure bow rail are ideal when you’re working lines in gusty afternoon breezes. The enclosed bridge and aft deck create a protected social zone when weather turns, yet open easily for those calm, warm evenings. It’s a versatile platform for weekend cruising, dockside entertaining, and longer seasonal escapes.
