2000 Carver 356 Aft Cabin Motor Yacht

Step inside and experience the spaciousness and comfort that make the Carver 356 Aft Cabin one of the most popular motor yachts in its class. With a bright, open salon, two private staterooms, and two full heads with separate shower stalls, this boat is ideal for liveaboards, weekenders, or extended cruising.

Salon:
The large main salon features panoramic windows, rich cherry wood cabinetry, and plush seating, creating a bright and welcoming space to relax or entertain. An L-shaped settee (with sleeper) and additional lounge chair provide ample seating. The open layout flows seamlessly into the galley and dinette below.

Galley & Dinette:
Just a few steps down, the fully equipped galley includes a full-size refrigerator/freezer, three-burner electric cooktop, microwave, and generous storage. Opposite, the raised U-shaped dinette offers comfortable seating for four and converts to an additional berth.

The guest stateroom features a centerline double berth, hanging lockers, and access to the forward head, which includes a separate shower stall and VacuFlush toilet.

Aft Master Stateroom:
A true highlight of the 356 is the full-beam aft master. This private retreat offers a queen island berth with walkaround access, large hanging lockers, excellent storage, and its own ensuite head with separate shower and VacuFlush toilet.

Additional Interior Features:

Whether you're entertaining guests or cruising with family, the interior of this Carver 356 offers the space, comfort, and features of a much larger yacht — all in a manageable and well-designed layout.

Exterior Layout:
The Carver 356 Aft Cabin is a standout in its class, offering the space and features of a larger yacht in a well-proportioned 41' LOA package. Wide side decks, molded-in steps, and high rails provide safe and easy movement throughout the boat. The aft deck and swim platform are thoughtfully designed for both functionality and comfort.

Aft Deck:
The fully enclosed aft deck acts as a second salon, perfect for entertaining or relaxing. Featuring wing doors, hardtop overhead protection, and a full canvas enclosure, this space is usable in a wide range of weather. There’s room for outdoor seating, a small table, and additional storage. Built-in molded steps lead easily up to the flybridge and down to the swim platform, creating a true cockpit-to-bridge flow.

Flybridge:
The expansive flybridge is well-laid-out and designed with both comfort and visibility in mind. The centerline helm offers excellent sightlines and is equipped with full instrumentation and space for electronics. Twin captain’s chairs and a wraparound aft bench seat allow plenty of room for guests to join the captain. A Bimini top (or hardtop, depending on configuration) with full enclosure keeps the area protected, extending its usability.

Swim Platform & Access:
A molded staircase leads from the aft deck to the integrated swim platform, which includes a transom locker, freshwater shower, and a swim ladder. The platform is large enough to accommodate water toys, easy boarding, and line handling.

Hull & Deck Features:

• Molded fiberglass construction with Carver's signature raised sheer line

• Wide, safe side decks with stainless steel handrails

• Integrated swim platform with molded steps and transom storage

• Aft deck wing doors for side access and wind protection

• Full canvas enclosures for both aft deck and flybridge

The exterior of the Carver 356 is designed for easy handling, comfort underway, and maximum enjoyment at anchor or dockside. Whether you're cruising, entertaining, or living aboard, the 356 delivers big-boat features in a practical and manageable size.
