Introduced in 2000, the distinctive styling and spacious accommodations of the Carve 396 Motor Yacht combined to create one of the most popular cruising yachts of her day. Carver sold a ton of these boats - no other motor yacht in her class matched the 390 when it came to space and comfort, and none surpassed her in versatility or value. Below, the vast full-beam salon - made possible by raising the side decks to eye level - is an impressive display of high gloss woodwork, ultra leather seating, tiered cabin windows and nearly seven feet of headroom. Both staterooms have walk around queen berths, and the forward head is split with the shower stall to port and toilet compartment to starboard. Wing doors and a hardtop protect the aft deck from the elements, and a fiberglass stairway descends to the swim platform. Topside, the helm is forward with wrap around lounge seating and a wet bar aft.
