1996 Carver 455 Aft Cabin

Price Improvement: The asking price has been lowered to $150,000!

The Carver 455 Aft Cabin Motor Yacht (marketed as the 456 Aft Cabin MY from 1999–2000) is a mid-tier cruiser notable for its unique interior layout, which sets it apart from many contemporary motoryachts of similar size.

Aft Galley: Unlike most motoryachts, where the galley is forward, the Carver 455/456 places the galley aft in the salon. This positioning provides convenient access from the bridge and aft deck, simultaneously pushing the main salon seating and entertaining area forward.

Master Stateroom: The master stateroom features a unique, aft-facing queen bed. This arrangement offers a different perspective, allowing occupants to look out of the transom window. The original 455 layout includes a spacious forward guest stateroom and a separate small guest stateroom to port with convertible bunk beds, concealed by a folding bulkhead. The bulkhead can be left open to integrate the smaller space into the forward stateroom. The 456 model transitioned to a two-stateroom interior.

Additional Amenities: The yacht features maple wood interior trim and includes wing doors, molded transom boarding steps, a washer/dryer cabinet, and a tub/shower in the forward head. 

Performance: Powered by Cummins 420hp diesels, the Carver 455/456 cruises effectively at 18–20 knots.
