2000 Carver 406 Aft Cabin Motor Yacht

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the 406 cleverly uses every inch of space. The aft deck feels like an extra living room, with plenty of room for loose chairs and a table instead of being locked into a built-in settee. Wide side decks and stout rails make line handling and docking far less stressful, even short-handed. Below, the galley’s full-size appliances and generous counter space invite actual cooking instead of just reheating. Large windows in the salon keep things bright underway or at anchor, and the aft cabin’s separate shower stall means you’re not compromising on comfort during longer trips. Engine access is surprisingly good for a boat this size, making routine service far less of a chore.

This 406 layout works especially well for waters where you’ll be mixing cruising with extended time at the dock. The raised salon and large windows give you great visibility in tighter fairways, while the aft cabin provides privacy when hosting guests aboard for weekends. With a comfortable bridge and enclosed aft deck, you can enjoy shoulder-season boating without being at the mercy of the breeze. The moderate draft lets you explore shallower coves and quieter anchorages, yet the hull’s size and weight still deliver a confident ride on open stretches. For boaters who like to entertain afloat while having true cruising capability, this model is a smart fit for the area.
