Description
The Carver 530 Voyager Pilothouse is a testament to comfortable and spacious cruising. It offers a blend of luxury and practicality that appeals to those seeking extended time on the water. This motor yacht delivers a "big boat” feel without the overwhelming size, making it a popular choice and an excellent value for less than $300,000.
No Surrender was kept under cover on freshwater lakes in Texas for nearly 23 years and looks fantastic for its age. The owner replaced the flybridge upholstery and updated the interior with high-quality finishes, including flooring, new carpeting in the cabins, stone counters, new appliances, and custom teak woodwork.
Stepping aboard, you're greeted by a generously sized salon, bathed in natural light thanks to large windows that provide panoramic views. The open layout seamlessly connects the salon to the galley, creating a social atmosphere perfect for entertaining. The renovated galley, with new stone countertops and appliances, allows for convenient meal preparation.
The full beam, midships master stateroom provides a luxurious retreat with ample storage, an en-suite head, and a washer and dryer. Guest staterooms are equally comfortable, offering well-appointed spaces for family or friends. Multiple heads contribute to the overall convenience of the layout.
The Carver 530's pilothouse and flybridge are key features, providing versatile spaces for navigation and relaxation. The pilothouse offers excellent visibility and a comfortable helm station, ideal for all-weather cruising. With ample seating, a table, and a wet bar, the flybridge becomes the social hub, offering stunning views and a perfect spot for enjoying sunsets.
Powered by reliable twin Cummins 450 HP diesel engines, the Carver 530 delivers a smooth and stable ride. Features like a bow thruster enhance maneuverability, making docking and close quarters handling less stressful. The hull design is engineered for comfortable cruising, minimizing roll and providing a stable platform.
Whether you envision extended cruises, weekend getaways, or simply relaxing at anchor, the Carver 530 offers a compelling combination of space, comfort, and performance.
