2004 Carver 466 Motor Yacht | Freshwater | Custom Aluminum Hardtop | Cheboygan, Michigan

This freshwater 2004 Carver 466 Motor Yacht is an exceptionally well-maintained example of one of Carver’s most popular cruising yachts. Located in Cheboygan, Michigan, she has accumulated just 1,070 original freshwater hours and has benefited from attentive ownership throughout her life.

One of the standout features of this yacht is the custom aluminum hardtop, providing outstanding protection from the elements while creating an expansive bridge and aft deck entertainment area. Combined with an upgraded inverter system, this yacht is exceptionally well-equipped for comfortable cruising, entertaining, and extended time away from the dock. The Carver 466’s innovative raised walk-deck design delivers the spacious interior of a much larger yacht while maintaining excellent visibility and ease of handling.

Docking is made effortless thanks to both bow and stern thrusters, including an upgraded oversized bow thruster and wireless remote control, providing exceptional maneuverability and confidence whether you’re operating short-handed or in tight quarters.

Over the past three seasons, the current owner has invested heavily in the vessel, completing extensive maintenance, preventative service, and numerous upgrades. Rather than simply using the boat, they have continually improved it, making this the nicest Carver 466 available on the Great Lakes. Detailed service records are available for prospective buyers.

Inside, the spacious salon is flooded with natural light and offers comfortable accommodations for extended cruising. The well-appointed galley, two private staterooms, and two full heads provide the comfort of a waterfront condominium, while the bridge and aft deck offer outstanding spaces for entertaining family and friends.

Whether you’re planning weekends in Northern Michigan, extended Great Lakes cruising, or the Great Loop, this Carver is ready for her next adventure. Service records and oil analysis are available for serious prospective buyers.
