2000 Carver 396 Motor YachtSold

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the 396 makes smart use of every inch. The wide-body salon feels more like a waterfront condo than a 39-footer, with huge windows that flood the space with natural light. Two true staterooms with solid privacy doors and en-suite heads—both with separate shower stalls—make it ideal for couples cruising together. The aft deck is fully enclosed and on a single level with the salon, so entertaining flows easily from inside to out without steps to trip over. Molded steps, wide side decks, and tall rails keep movement around the boat safe and secure, even when the water gets a bit lumpy.

This 396 Motor Yacht shines in local waters where you’re mixing longer weekend runs with relaxed dockside time. The hull form is comfortable at moderate cruising speeds, perfect for hopping between nearby harbors without beating up guests. The raised aft deck and command bridge offer excellent visibility for tight fairways and busy channels, while the shallow draft helps when exploring back bays and quieter anchorages. With two generous cabins and a spacious salon, you can ride out a rainy stretch in comfort or host friends after a day on the water. It’s a versatile platform for both cruising and floating condo life in this region.
