Description
2000 Carver 396 Motor Yacht – Freshwater, Extensively Updated, Turn-Key Cruiser
This meticulously maintained 2000 Carver 396 Motor Yacht is a standout example of one of Carver’s most popular cruising platforms, powered by reliable Cummins 6BTA Diamond Series diesels and loaded with thoughtful upgrades that make her truly turn-key.
With her wide 13’11” beam and signature full-beam salon, the 396 offers an incredibly open and inviting layout rarely found in a yacht of this size. The “great room” design seamlessly connects the salon, galley, and dinette—creating a bright, spacious environment ideal for entertaining or extended time aboard.
Large panoramic windows and Carver’s two-tiered design flood the interior with natural light, while offering excellent visibility whether seated in the salon or working in the galley.
Layout & Comfort
- Two private staterooms, each with queen island berths
- Aft master suite with exceptional storage and private head with separate shower
- Forward guest stateroom with split head layout for added privacy
- Spacious, open salon with comfortable seating and great sightlines
- Fully equipped galley with excellent storage and functionality
Outdoor Living & Entertaining
- Expansive aft deck (~73 sq ft) with hardtop and wing doors
- Molded-in stairs to flybridge (no ladders)
- Flybridge seating for six with centerline helm and excellent visibility
- Wet bar area—perfect for entertaining at the dock or underway

Why This Boat Stands Out
This is not your average Carver 396. Between the diesel power, extensive upgrades, solar capability, and overall condition, this boat is set up for comfortable, worry-free cruising.
Whether you’re looking for a Great Lakes summer cruiser, a floating condo, or an entertaining platform, this 396 delivers exceptional space, value, and usability.

Additional Details
Manufacturer Provided Description
The Carver 396 Motor Yacht is striking and spacious. By raising the gunnels, Carver has opened up the cabin, stretching it the full width of the 13-foot 11-inch beam. Because the salon, galley, and dinette are all part of one “great room” concept, guests are given the freedom to roam. Plus, the two-tiered window system provides perfect line of sight outdoors, whether seated on the plush salon furniture, or while preparing meals in the fully equipped, casually sunken galley. Below deck, the aft master stateroom has incredible amounts of storage, a queen-size, inner-spring island berth, and a private head complete with separate head and shower compartments. The forward guest stateroom has a queen-size island berth with an inner-spring mattress, and a split head arrangement with separate shower and water closet. When it’s time to spread out, passengers will appreciate the approximately 73-square-foot aft deck protected by standard wing doors, a hardtop, and a weather cloth that’s molded right into the deck. And, an integral stairway leads to the yacht’s command bridge with seating for six, and a centerline helm for maximum visibility. A wetbar with available refrigerator or icemaker helps make this bridge and aft deck the perfect entertaining platform.
