CARVER Super Sport: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Carver 42 SuperSport is a thoughtfully designed cruising yacht that addresses common challenges such as limited seating on the bridge. This model stands out as one of the first production boats equipped with Volvo's Inboard Performance System (IPS), a significant advancement introduced in 2005 that enhances maneuverability and efficiency. Combining spaciousness, innovative technology, and comfort, the 42 SuperSport offers a comprehensive package for recreational boating.
Exterior Design and Bridge
The bridge of the 42 SuperSport is notable for its generous seating capacity, allowing friends and family to enjoy the cruising experience together without taking turns. The helm console features a molded fiberglass dash equipped with all standard systems and controls, highlighted by the IPS joystick for intuitive handling. The console is complemented by black leather and brushed aluminum trim, with ample space allocated for Navionics instrumentation. Seating includes a Rumiel-shaped lounge that accommodates six around a sturdy table, while a wet bar to starboard offers storage and options for a refrigerator or ice maker. Molded steps provide access to the bridge and wide side decks, all surfaced with an aggressive molded non-skid pattern and secured by strategically placed handrails. The cockpit spans over 45 square feet and includes amenities such as a transom shower, water and shore power inlets, and large storage lockers. Access to the boarding platform is through a transom door, with the platform itself designed to support water sports activities and equipped with a concealed boarding ladder. A solid overhead protects the cockpit area from weather elements, enhancing comfort and usability.
Interior Living Spaces
Inside, the full-beam salon offers a comfortable and elegant environment for relaxation and socializing. Furnishings include a pair of barrel chairs, a gracefully curved dinette, and a sofa that can be configured as a stowaway bed or replaced with twin incliners or additional storage. The entertainment system features a 20-inch LCD TV and DVD player, integrated seamlessly into the designer decor accented by curtains and pillows that contribute to a luxurious atmosphere. The galley is well-appointed with solid surface countertops, a stainless steel undermounted sink, and built-in appliances including a convection microwave oven, an electric two-burner range top, and a coffee maker. Beneath the galley lies a utility room offering ample pantry storage and space for an optional washer and dryer.
Private Accommodations
The master stateroom is located forward and features a green pillow-top berth with a mirrored headboard, providing a comfortable and inviting retreat. The VIP stateroom is situated to starboard of the companionway and, while modest in size, accommodates two guests on a double pillow-top berth. Opposite the VIP stateroom is the VIP head, which includes a stall shower enclosed by a circular acrylic sliding door, combining functionality with a modern aesthetic.
Power and Performance
A defining feature of the 42 SuperSport is its propulsion system based on Volvo's IPS technology. The test boat was equipped with twin Volvo IPS 500 engines, each rated at 375 horsepower, paired with proprietary Penta T3 propellers. This configuration enables the vessel to plane in 8.3 seconds and reach 30 miles per hour in 22.1 seconds. The most efficient cruising speed was recorded at 25.6 miles per hour at 3,000 RPM, yielding a fuel range of approximately 333 statute miles. The top speed achieved was 34.3 miles per hour (29.8 knots) at 3,600 RPM. The IPS joystick simplifies close-quarters maneuvering, allowing for forward, reverse, lateral, and rotational movements with intuitive control. The yacht measures 43 feet 7 inches in length, has a beam of 13 feet 11 inches, a draft of 46 inches, and a weight of 33,650 pounds with full tanks. Cabin headroom is 6 feet 6 inches, and bridge clearance stands at 19 feet 5 inches. This combination of sleek exterior design and advanced engineering results in enhanced fuel efficiency, handling, and onboard comfort.
Conclusion
The Carver 42 SuperSport successfully integrates innovative technology with spacious and comfortable living areas, making it a versatile choice for both recreation and relaxation. Its pioneering use of Volvo's IPS system offers significant improvements in maneuverability and efficiency, while the well-designed interior and exterior spaces accommodate socializing and private retreats alike. Overall, the 42 SuperSport represents a well-rounded yacht that meets the demands of modern cruising enthusiasts.
