Carver Yachts Aft Cabin: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Carver 564 motor yacht is a 56-foot vessel designed to offer the luxury and interior space comparable to that of a 65-foot yacht. This model is recognized for its innovative layout that maximizes interior room without sacrificing style or practicality. With three distinct levels dedicated to entertaining and three private staterooms with ensuite heads, the Carver 564 presents a spacious and comfortable environment for extended cruising or entertaining guests.
Exterior Design and Bridge
The yacht features a raised bridge deck and molded walkways that enhance livable space and ease of movement around the vessel. The flybridge is fully enclosed and air-conditioned, providing ample seating for nine people. The command center on the flybridge includes triple pedestal helm seats, comprehensive instrumentation, and excellent visibility both forward and aft. Access to the aft deck, another social area, is provided via stairs from the flybridge, creating multiple outdoor spaces for relaxation and socializing.
Interior Living Spaces
Inside, the salon benefits from nearly the full 15-foot 4-inch beam, creating an open and inviting living area. To port, an L-shaped ultra-leather lounge comfortably seats five, while opposite this is an entertainment center accompanied by a loveseat. Forward and to port, a freestanding dining table accommodates seating for up to four people, ideal for couples or families. The U-shaped semi-sunken galley is equipped with modern appliances including an over-under refrigerator and freezer, microwave oven, dual burner stove top, optional coffee maker, and a double sink with a designer faucet, making it both functional and stylish.
Power and Performance
At the heart of the Carver 564 are twin Volvo D12 electronically controlled diesel engines, each producing 675 horsepower. These engines were specifically engineered for faster planing boats and incorporate Volvo's electronic diesel control system, which optimizes fuel combustion for improved efficiency, higher power output, and reduced emissions. Key features include six electronic unit injectors, a gear-driven fuel pump, fresh water-cooled turbocharger and air cooler, and electronic engine controls with diagnostic displays. The engines deliver maximum torque at just 1400 RPM, enabling quick acceleration for a yacht of this size. Performance testing showed an optimal cruising speed of 26.5 miles per hour at 2000 RPM, consuming 54 gallons of fuel per hour. With a fuel capacity of 646 gallons, this translates to a cruising range of nearly 290 miles. The top speed recorded was 31.5 miles per hour, with a notably quiet sound level of 75 decibels.
Private Accommodations
The guest stateroom is situated forward of the salon and features an island queen berth, two cedar-lined closets, luxurious finishes, and a private head with vanity and separate shower stall. The master stateroom, located aft of the salon, offers an island pedestal queen berth, rich cherry cabinetry, elegant appointments, and ample storage space. Notably, the master stateroom provides direct access to the cockpit, which encompasses nearly 82 square feet of space. The cockpit includes molded boarding steps, a full transom door leading to a large swim platform capable of accommodating a tender, extensive storage options, and shore power receptacles.
Conclusion
Overall, the Carver 564 motor yacht successfully integrates the spaciousness and luxury typically found in larger yachts into a more manageable 56-foot vessel. Its thoughtful design, comfortable accommodations, and efficient yet powerful Volvo D12 engines make it a practical and enjoyable yacht for owners and guests alike. With excellent performance metrics, ample living and entertaining spaces, and quality craftsmanship, the Carver 564 stands out as a well-rounded motor yacht that balances comfort, style, and operational economy.
