2005 Carver 38 Super Sport

Step aboard and you’ll notice how bright this 38 feels, thanks to the big salon windows and open sightlines from cockpit to windshield. The molded stairway from cockpit to flybridge makes moving between decks secure and easy, even with a plate of hors d’oeuvres in hand. On the bridge, the helm is laid out so everything falls right to hand, and there’s plenty of seating for friends to enjoy the ride without crowding the skipper. Below, the private master and guest stateroom give real separation for overnight guests, while the head’s separate stall shower keeps things civilized on longer stays aboard.

This 38 Super Sport shines in local waters where you want a blend of coastal cruising ability and comfortable living space. Its diesel power and efficient hull make it well-suited for longer runs between marinas or quiet anchorages, yet the length and handling are still friendly for owner-operators. The elevated bridge provides a great vantage point for navigating busy channels and spotting logs or floating debris, while the enclosed structure adds protection when the weather turns. With generous storage and a layout that favors weekends or extended stays, it’s an appealing platform for exploring nearby islands, inlets, and sheltered bays.
