2001 Carver 506 Motor Yacht
Luxury Liveaboard Yacht | Great Loop Yacht | Coastal Cruising Yacht
Where Luxury Meets Livability
Some yachts impress with speed. Others with pedigree.
FOOTLOOSE impresses because she simply feels like home.
This Carver 506 Motor Yacht offers an extraordinary amount of interior volume, luxurious accommodations, and cruising capability rarely found in a yacht of her size and price point. Designed for owners who intend to spend weeks-or even months-aboard, she is equally suited to entertaining at the dock, exploring the Intracoastal Waterway, completing America's Great Loop, or cruising the Bahamas in complete comfort.
With nearly condominium-like accommodations, three private staterooms, three heads, expansive entertaining spaces, and dependable Cummins diesel power, FOOTLOOSE represents one of the finest opportunities currently available in the luxury cruising yacht market.
Designed Around the Way You Actually Cruise
Unlike many production motor yachts, the Carver 506 was engineered from the inside out.
Raised side decks allow the salon to span nearly the yacht's full beam, creating an interior that feels remarkably larger than many 55- to 60-foot yachts. Panoramic windows flood the living space with natural light while handcrafted cabinetry, rich wood finishes, premium furnishings, and elegant detailing create a warm, residential atmosphere.
Whether enjoying a quiet evening at anchor or hosting guests for cocktails, the salon offers exceptional comfort with opposing seating areas that easily convert into additional sleeping accommodations when needed.
Forward, a formal dining area comfortably seats family and guests while remaining seamlessly connected to the fully equipped galley.
A Galley Worth Living With
Extended cruising demands more than a compact yacht galley.
FOOTLOOSE delivers a genuine residential-style kitchen featuring a full-size refrigerator and freezer, Princess Ceran three-burner cooktop, combination convection oven, generous countertop space, abundant cabinetry, and thoughtful storage throughout.
Whether preparing breakfast before getting underway or entertaining dockside, everything has been designed for comfortable long-term ownership.
Accommodations That Rival Much Larger Yachts
The owner's suite rivals that of many European yachts considerably larger in size.
Positioned aft for maximum privacy, the full-beam master stateroom features a queen berth, exceptional storage, dedicated climate controls, private television, vanity, abundant hanging lockers, and a luxurious ensuite arrangement complete with separate VacuFlush head and bathtub with shower.
Forward, the VIP stateroom offers another queen island berth with private ensuite facilities, allowing guests the same level of comfort expected in a luxury waterfront residence.
A third guest cabin, complete with its own ensuite head, adds flexibility for children, additional guests, or extended family cruising while discreetly housing the onboard washer and dryer.
Sleeping accommodations comfortably accommodate up to ten guests when the convertible salon seating is utilized.
Entertain Without Limits
Life aboard naturally extends outdoors.
The enclosed, climate-controlled bridge is among the defining features of the Carver 506.
Guests enjoy wraparound lounge seating, a wet bar, refrigerator, ice maker, sink, opening sunroof, and panoramic 360-degree views while underway. Wide companion seating beside the helm ensures everyone remains part of the experience.
Below, the aft deck creates another inviting entertaining area equally suited for sunset cocktails, waterfront dinners, or simply relaxing in the shade after a day on the water.
Confidence Underway
Powered by upgraded twin Cummins 6CTA 8.3-liter diesel engines producing 900 total horsepower, FOOTLOOSE delivers reliable, economical cruising supported by equipment chosen to simplify ownership.
Docking is made remarkably stress-free through the addition of a stern thruster, allowing confident maneuvering even in tight marinas.
Navigation benefits from dual 12-inch Raymarine HybridTouch multifunction displays integrating radar, GPS, AIS, fishfinder, autopilot, VHF communications, and electronic engine controls to create an intuitive helm suited for experienced owners and newcomers alike.
The expansive engine room offers exceptional access around both engines, generator, and ship's systems-something knowledgeable owners and marine technicians immediately appreciate.

The Carver 506 Motor Yacht is an aft-cabin motor yacht that offers spacious living accommodations. It does so by virtue of a design that features raised, nearly flush deck walk-arounds that enable the salon to be expanded the full width of the beam. That gives the 506 a wider, roomier-than-expected interior, which Carver has further opened up with one big, inviting room that encompasses the salon, galley and dining area. A free-standing dining table and chairs provide extra flexibility. And the intriguing two-tiered elliptical window configuration offers unparalleled visibility whether passengers are seated or standing - plus, the streamlined windows add to the bold swept-back exterior styling. The 506 offers three main levels for entertaining: the flybridge, aft deck and cabin...all can be fully air-conditioned and enclosed.
