Summary
This Carver 405 Aft Cabin Motor Yacht combines the classic lines of an aft cabin layout with the spacious comfort and warmth of a home-like liveaboard. Powered by twin Mercruiser 454 7.4L-Mag Horizon fuel-injected inboard engines producing 370HP each, she can cruise upward of 25mph.
Introduction

This boat may just be one of the nicest, cleanest examples available as she only has 865 hours on the engines. A 100% freshwater boat, she has been pampered and kept under cover since new. Closed cooling on the engines allows for safe use in saltwater, should the new owner choose to take her on an extended cruise. The vessel is also equipped with a Kohler 8.0kw generator.

Aft Deck

Walking up the molded steps from the built-in swim platform, you enter a large aft deck with hardtop that provides plenty of room for entertaining. This space includes four folding marine deck chairs, a wet bar with icemaker and a 24” smart TV. 

Flybridge

Two steps up on either side is the flybridge which includes a comfortable Captain’s chair, seating for two alongside the captain and a large bench seat in front of the helm. The forward bench seat offers seating for 4-6 adults and provides fantastic views that allow guests to enjoy the scenery as you cruise along. The helm station has full instrumentation and controls for both engines, a Raymarine Axiom 9” chart plotter, Raymarine marine radio, Raydata information center, and a Sony Bluetooth AM/FM/CD stereo. There is also a large subwoofer and multiple speakers on both the flybridge and the aft deck that allow you to jam out as you cruise along.

Salon

Entering the main cabin through the double glass doors on the aft deck, you will decend into a large comfortable salon that has an L-shaped couch with dual recliners, a comfortable barrel chair with storage underneath, a 32” Samsung smart TV and a Kenwood stereo system with 6-disc CD changer and multiple speakers throughout.

Galley & Dining Area

Forward and down three steps are the Galley and Dining area. The galley features a Summit stainless steel refrigerator/freezer, a Summit stainless steel microwave, a Princess 3-burner stove with oven, a built-in Black & Decker coffee maker and a large, deep sink with stainless steel faucet and sprayer. The galley cabinets and drawers provide ample space for all the necessities to prepare delicious on-board meals. The dining area features a U-shaped dinette that seats 5-6 guests. It also converts into a double-berth for additional sleeping space and provides additional storage underneath the seating surfaces.

Guest Accommodations

In front of the galley and dining area is the guest head and the guest stateroom. The guest head features a Raritan Vacuflush toilet, sink with medicine cabinet and “wet shower”. The guest stateroom provides sleeping for up to two guests and features ample storage with a large hanging locker, drawers below the bed and countertops with storage underneath. There is also a hatch overhead that opens to provide plenty of fresh air.

The large aft cabin with ensuite head is what really sets this boat apart from the competition. It features a large, comfortable, walk-around queen-size bed, a built-in 4-drawer dresser, built-in seating on both sides of the bed, a large double-wide hanging locker, storage under the bed and above the headboard and a 24” Samsung smart TV.
