2003 Carver 360 Sport Sedan

Step aboard and you’ll notice how easy this 36-footer is to move around. Wide, molded steps instead of a ladder make getting to the bridge feel secure for kids, guests, and pets. Big windows in the salon keep everything bright, even on overcast days, and give you a clear view while you’re at the dock. The sedan layout means you get real separation between social spaces and sleeping quarters, so late-night conversations don’t disturb anyone turning in early. On deck, the open cockpit works equally well for tossing lines, setting out a couple of deck chairs, or staging water toys. It’s a boat that feels much larger than its length when you’re actually living aboard for a weekend.

This 36-foot sport sedan shines in warm, shallow, and often busy coastal waterways. The gas inboards and moderate draft make it comfortable nosing into tucked-away anchorages and smaller marinas that deeper-draft boats avoid. A bow thruster is a real confidence booster when currents and crosswinds pick up around tight fairways. The big bridge gives the skipper a commanding view of markers, traffic, and shifting sandbars, while guests still have a breezy, shaded spot to relax underway. With a bright, climate-controlled interior and generous headroom, it’s as comfortable waiting out an afternoon squall at the dock as it is cruising to the next waterfront stop.
