CARVER YACHTS – The Carver 530 Voyager
It’s the owner’s dream come true: And while at the helm station, please don’t get puzzled, it’s not a starship!
It’s time to cut off your long awaited luxury Motoryacht; Carver’s new flagship – the 530 Voyager defines how things have changed in the world of cruising today. While this fussily appointed 12’4″ wide and 11’10” long boat seems as a custom yacht. A superlative motoryacht with an American rare breed, it does not only bestow luxury linguistics and housing of a motoryacht designed overseas, but it also has the ironclad service contract protection which is readily accessible by an American builder.
A complete surprise awaits you from the 530’s open spacious salon; to her expedient pilothouse layout, and to its big cozy staterooms. Conceivably, the biggest astonishment is that it’s a production boat applauded for long distance cruising. While her fetching price of below $1 million makes you think… Is it truly a “Voyager”? Of course, built for only serious cruising clientele, – but it’s not a waterfront condo or rather your rare trip boat. In fact, cruisers are using this vessel to go as far as Pacific Coast on the Acapulco, Guerrero Mexico…
To lay bare on this, the 530 Voyager justifies…

What’s more there’s also an overhead console for adding flash-mount of electronics and a possible display for the two camera close circuit TV which watches over the engine room and the transom area. There’s also is superior visibility forward and on both sides, and when the skipper seat swivels around, you have a clear shot of the transom.
In The Master Stateroom
Entry to the stateroom is down through a curved stairway, where you’ll find cherry wood all over and that’s just a tip-off of what the Carver 530 incorporates. The master stateroom’s arched doors and warped bulkheads add to the impressive design as it does to the queen-sized bed in the alcove. The master stateroom itself includes a pair of night tables, adjusted drawers, two setter line closets and plenty of cabinets. Moving forward is the mid stateroom located up in the bow attributes similar characteristics in the master. For instance; centerline queen berth, round hatch overhead and direct access to guest head shower.
Let’s head Up Top

While in the helm there’s a repeat of electronics and full instrumentations.

Generally, the bridge deck overhangs measures 6 feet long 11 feet wide which is big enough to house the optional Zodiac Dinghy.
Engine

This power houses are electronically controlled, so they specifically require the amount of fuel needed depending on operating temperatures and load. The inline six arrangements offer a virtually narrow envelope for further space in the engine room and together with better engine response.
The Volvo Penta 74P affords nearly vibration free operation, muted noise levels and smooth idling around the docks. This engine package also accompanies electronic controls on both helm stations for unproblematic operations and the net result of computer controls is reduced exhaust, easy maintenance and reduced fuel consumption.
