Overview
The Carver 346 motor yacht represents the latest evolution in the company's long-standing tradition of aft cabin motor yachts, a style Carver has been pioneering for over 15 years. Replacing the earlier 32 aft cabin model, the 346 introduces a raised walk deck design that enhances livability and social space, both indoors and outdoors. This model continues Carver's commitment to quality craftsmanship, innovative engineering, and practical design, all produced at their Pulaski, Wisconsin factory.
Interior Living Spaces
The interior of the 346 motor yacht features an open floor plan with a salon that extends the full beam of the boat, creating a spacious and comfortable living area. Furnished with ultra-leather couches and a loveseat, the seating is both durable and easy to maintain, with additional storage conveniently located beneath. Entertainment options include a TV, VCR, stereo radio cassette, and an optional CD player. The dining area is flexible, with a removable table that can be stored in a custom rack behind the lounge to maximize space when needed. The galley is well-equipped with all necessary appliances and ample storage, suitable for preparing anything from light snacks to full meals during extended cruises.
Private Accommodations
The 346 offers two fully appointed staterooms positioned fore and aft, maximizing privacy and space utilization. The forward guest stateroom includes an oversized double berth, abundant storage compartments, and an adjoining head with shower. The master stateroom aft exemplifies efficient use of space, featuring a queen-size berth, extensive storage, a full-size shower and head, and an entertainment center equipped with a TV and VCR.
Exterior Design and Bridge
On deck, the aft cockpit extends the social living area outdoors, providing additional space for entertaining. The flybridge is designed for comfort and functionality, featuring spacious L-shaped seating with storage beneath, a wet bar, and a refrigerator to keep refreshments close at hand. The helm station offers excellent all-around visibility, comfortable seating, and a practical console with ample room for navigation electronics, ensuring ease of operation for the skipper.
Power and Performance
The Carver 346 is powered by twin 370 horsepower MerCruiser 8.1 Horizon engines. During testing, the yacht achieved a cruising speed of 25.1 miles per hour at 3,500 RPM, consuming 36.2 gallons of fuel per hour and providing a cruising range of approximately 122 miles.
