Overview
The Voyager SE stands as the flagship model of the Carver fleet, showcasing a blend of contemporary design and advanced structural technology. This vessel integrates a solid hull bottom with a vinyl ester barrier coat, a molded fiberglass stringer system, fabricated aluminum floor frames, laminate hull sides and cabin tops, and rich African cherry wood finishes throughout, reflecting both durability and elegance.
Exterior Design and Bridge
The main deck features a spacious aft cockpit measuring 69 square feet, protected by a solid seven-foot overhang. The transom door opens to a 63-square-foot boarding platform equipped with a concealed telescopic ladder, grab rails, and storage lockers, all supported by molded non-skid surfaces and sturdy stainless steel handrails for safe movement. Forward on the bow, a sun pad offers a comfortable relaxation area, complemented by an electric windlass and robust ground tackle for secure anchoring. The flybridge provides ample space aft for sunbathing or mounting a tender, with forward seating on both sides and a wet bar area that can accommodate optional equipment such as an ice maker or an electric grill. The helm station on the bridge features a wraparound dash with a double-wide seat, full controls, instrumentation, a tilt steering wheel, and space for electronic navigation systems.
Interior Living Spaces
Inside, the Voyager SE boasts a contemporary pilot house with an aircraft-style wraparound helm console that houses communications, autopilot, engine instrumentation, controls, and accessory switches, all within easy reach of the six-way electrically adjustable captain's seat. Adjacent to the helm on the port side is an L-shaped lounge for guests. A few steps down lead to the galley, which is appointed with solid surface countertops, an undermount two-basin sink, a coffee maker, microwave, three-burner electric oven, electric range, and a side-by-side undercounter refrigerator and freezer. The salon, located aft of the galley, is designed for entertainment with two barrel chairs to starboard flanking a 32-inch LCD TV that rises on a motorized lift. The entertainment system includes an AM/FM receiver, DVD/CD changer, and satellite radio.
Private Accommodations
Forward lies the VIP stateroom featuring an oversized queen island berth, an overhead hatch, and ample recessed halogen lighting. Adjacent to this is a spacious head with a stall shower accessible from both the VIP stateroom and companionway. Across the hall to port is a guest stateroom with two bunks convertible to a sofa. The master stateroom is located amidships and offers a generously sized queen island berth, end tables, a dresser, three cedar-lined lockers, a passive fresh air system, and halogen lighting with dimmer controls. The en suite head includes a beautifully appointed sink and vanity, as well as a separate tub and stall shower.
Power and Performance
The Voyager SE is powered by twin Volvo D12 diesel engines, each rated at 675 horsepower. The vessel measures 59 feet 8 inches in length overall, with a beam of 15 feet 4 inches and a draft of 57 inches. It weighs 52,500 pounds and carries 800 gallons of fuel. During testing, the top speed reached 29.8 knots (approximately 34.5 miles per hour) at 2360 rpm, while the optimal cruising speed was 19.2 knots (22.1 miles per hour) at 1750 rpm. Maneuvering in tight quarters is facilitated by the wireless Carver docking system, enhancing ease of control from anywhere on board.
Mechanical and Systems Layout
The engine room and machinery space are designed for accessibility and organization, providing ample room for maintenance and inspection. Standard mechanical features include four-zone air conditioning, an engine synchronizer, hydraulic steering, fresh water cooling with internal strainers, and professionally executed systems and wiring, ensuring reliability and ease of operation.
