Pro tip: every time a hurricane hit fla or anywhere in the gulf, there are $100 boats for sale after that.....not destroyed ones, just an inevitable number of people tired of dealing with them, tired of living too close to the ocean, etc, etc.....a friend bought a 35ft sailboat with cabin quarters, in near-perfect shape, after a hurrican hit near Mobile, AL a number of years back....she paid less than $300 for it, and still lives on it to this day!......sweet!....
@@hhazelhoff1363 that fool is the guy who buys storage bins that have been abandoned because he thinks they contain treasure....people better know what they are doing if they think buying this boat to live on is a good idea
THAT is the dream. My dad always said that he wanted to be like Quincy (a ‘70’s tv show character) and live on a boat in the marina. I’m beginning to think he was onto something.
Especially having the ability to “Bug Out” to sea if reasons to do so come up. With the price of real estate in some of our country’s beautiful coastal regions boat living could be more affordable or at least even. A beautiful way to live at least for a segment of one’s life.
My friend bought a donated 33' Chriscraft from the Boy Scouts in L.A., and lived in Marina Del Rey for a couple years or so. He paid $200/mo for the slip which included a hose with water and an electric outlet and a reserved parking spot (there was free parking in the lot, at least at that time). He had access to the shower/restroom as his boat only had an old toilet inside. A space heater kept him warm, and air-conditioning was not needed.
A huge part of the affordability of a live aboard is the slip fee. Here in Key West it is easy to spend $1800 plus a month depending on the size of the slip you need. That combined with boat maintenance and the depreciation of the boat each year quickly sobers you up to the "total cost" of living aboard. Then you have weather issues and hurricane season. There are lots of things to think about before making the leap to living on a boat. Works for a lot of people just go in prepared. And let us not forget the weekly turd sucker. Always a high point.
Going with the 20% of the purchase price for annual maintenance costs and general monthly expenses-this boat should cost $4,483 per month plus the payment per month.
Excellent how you guys keep variation in the videos! This was a bit less glamorous, but very interesting and significantly more approachable! Thanks, and enjoy your weekend!
Since my dad lived on his boat and sailed it around the world for decades, I can tell you there is a lot more expense living on a boat than in a condo. Not only are there livaboard dock fees, utilities, taxes and club memberships, boats require constant repairs and that is NEVER cheap.
@@pflaffik well, while that is sometimes true, anything that sits in water will have many more types of repairs than a vessel surrounded by air. An old saying is to own a boat is like buying a hole in the ocean and throwing money into it.
@@petersdotter1 If you buy a boat from new and simply leave it docked all the time, would there likely be much to pay for in maintenance? I am guessing it would be cheaper than condo bills, taxes and utilities. But then I have never looked into it, so maybe that's wrong.
A good friend of mine was going through a divorce and ended up living on his yacht for a few months. He admitted the toughest part for him was down-sizing all his stuff and being organized to handle what you bring-aboard. By the time he finally got used to it he had to sell it as part of the settlement. That's love and marriage.
He should’ve kept it. My neighbor in the slip across from me in MDR was going through a divorce in 2013 and was living aboard his Viking 70 when I purchased my Catalina 27. Three years later, when it was all over, he still lived there! In fact, I believe he lives there to this day. Really sweet guy. I sold my boat and upgraded so now we are no longer in the same marina but from what I could see, that guy had it made!!! I should end up so lucky...
Some day, when I get done with it, I want y’all to tour my barge. Will blow people’s minds when they learn how much living space you can enjoy, and how little it costs to buy and build.
That layout is beautiful and yeah I could definitely see myself living on something like this. These boats that you show us never ceases to amaze in different ways.
Great video - your 'this is not a puppet show' comment cracked me up :-) Would be great to include a summary of typical monthly marina live aboard costs in a future video.
Thanks guys for showing the more affordable boats, doesn't seem like such a farfetched dream! And love the bloopers at the end...get it together Victoria! ;D
Boats depreciate. Marinas cost Money... like owning but still renting. There's a reason boats are seen as money pits. What's a 250,000 dollar boat worth after 25 years in comparison to a house?
A yacht can always have a refit done if the hull is good. They do not depreciate like people would think. Depends on the quality of the build on the house or the yacht.
You 2 are the best yacht presenters and Captains that grace YT. Thanks for all you do.!! Love the outtakes and your professionalism. Also a great couple. Keep up the good work and I hope to see you guys hit 500K subs next...
Very well done tour, I’m actually a retro type guy that loves the older style boats that need owners and loving too but there is the fear of the mechanics all needing updating and the cliche of a hole in the water in which one continues to throw their money could apply.
I'm new to this whole yachting community, but would definitely like to explore more the opportunities/adventures that comes from it. I'm curious how do people who live on these boats all year long "navigate" or cope with the seasonal hurricanes or storms, especially when you're anchored in one place? Thanks for your videos!
Love the walk-thru. We owned a catamaran for four years and find it amusing that, once again I catch myself looking at these beautiful boat with desire! Then…I remember the repairs bills (ie; engine repairs, sail blow out, electrical problems) and recall the relief when I sold it. I came to the conclusion that I did not love sailing as much as I thought before I bought ‘the dream’ but at least I tried it. The only regret was the amount of money lost for the adventure.
I really enjoyed this. You did a great tour of the boat. It was so good, I actually watched the whole video; and I am looking for a sailing yacht live aboard. Thank you.
I bought a new 38 foot Carver in Florida in the mid nineties. I spent some time living on this boat in the Miami Beach Marina, and enjoyed it so much more than my home in Boca. Carver was amazing, and addressed any and all of my service needs, making this particular boat ownership experience a total pleasure. Of course, I sold it to buy a larger boat made by a more prestigious manufacturer, and totally screwed up a good thing. I would buy another Carver today, just to re-capture some of the really good memories of my Santego 38.
Not to be weird, but am I the only one that noticed that this woman's skin is completely flawless? Look for yourself. She literally doesn't seem to have a single freckle. Is that not odd to anyone?
Wow, I am impressed with this yacht. It's super practical, I love it. Definitely will be adding this one to my list of candidates. I had a dig through the listings on the Australian East coast. Seems like good condition Carver yachts are a bit scarce here.
Nauti, I had a 03' 50' Carver for a few yrs on a lake in the MidWest, life changes and sold it several yrs ago (sometimes I miss it...sometimes not). Just watched a little bit of this video and I see this was in Long Beach (The old Spruce Goose Howard Hughes dome in the background) what would a slip in this harbor run? Can you purchase the slip or is it a rental/lease only?? Nice videos
No, I would never live on a boat in LA, way too cold, no coral reefs, fishing not so good. I moved in 1996 to the out-islands of the Bahamas from San Diego, I never want to see LA again lol
I live in San Diego and own a condo here. But the Bahamas sound like a nice place to live part of the year on a boat. Can you provide more info? Thanks.
@@NautiStyles North Palmetto Point, Eleuthera, Bahamas. But I've been to maybe 50 different islands in the Bahamas. The boating I do is mainly fishing because I get sea sick. I notice you love the Exumas, I do too and have been in fishing tournaments in the Northern Exumas and the Exuma Sound.
I'm a marine painter at Huntington ingalls Industries in Newport News. I think a yacht is doable ONLY if you do your own maintenance. If not you're in a world of hurt, luckily compared to cars boats are easier to work on. But you could get yourself killed or ruin a system if you don't denergize it properly. The most expensive part would be coating it, people will spend money on painting the outside but they will neglect the bilge and engine room. Ships can and WILL rust from the inside out of the bilge is always wet from leaks.
I still cant get over how much remind me of my niece ... saw her a few days ago but forgot to tell her to check out your channel ... next time ... I really like this boat btw
They do not build a great quality yacht but a fair priced one. The one big problem I have is the boat will never shine as the gelcoat is very different than most. Every thing they do on it is for show and not longevity. Thank You for a great video though as I always like what you guys do.
One of the things that I consider is the range. It would be helpful if you could include that. I know you do sometimes, but there have been a few of the more affordable liveaboard options that you haven't and it just would be nice to have it included in the specs. Thanks, enjoy your videos.
there are a lot of pluses and minuses to living on a boat: can't beat the views/ambience BUT bringing anything like groceries to the boat? how far do you have to park? then walk to the gate then down to your dock and slip. 100, 200, 300 yards? you need to be REAL organized as space is limited: rooms, showers, closets, etc. slip fees? yes wonderful at night with the lights, quiet (mostly), water slapping against the hull. very relaxing just keep in mind the other realities.
Often around $2.00 a foot but less if you are leasing somewhere longer term. Depends on what kind of marina you choose and where it is located. NYC will be higher than a podunk town in SC. It's all about location and amenities!
Living aboard full time is not as romantic as one might dream: It’s an instant depreciating purchase w/difficult & expensive insurance; owner has to know how to diagnose & repair specialized electrical, plumbing, mechanical & structural issues where parts are often difficult to find. And then try sleeping well when anchored out of port even in calmer waters. Forget about dodging storms. But it’s a way of life for many indeed.
at the 16min mark of the video the time on the clock reads 3:13 and this video was posted on 3/13. cool! i think it's a sign you two should buy the boat HA!
My sister bought a 120 000 old sail boat in San Diego. Slip rental is like 400 USD a month. Boat does not even run she just lives on it. Life is good for her ATM.
Very nice review. Someone has done a great job in the upgrades. Love our '07 46 Voyager. We went with the 3 cabin layout and hard top. (Honestly, wouldn't buy one without the hard top)
I'm new to this. Just started looking into different ways of living via RV/ Van life now running across your channel and watching a few videos. Boat/mini Yacht seems pretty cool. A native to florida I'm curious what the ballpark cost are for the Marina fees for a yacht this size? I'm curious how you empty your tanks as well I'm guessing they do all of that at the marina? Anyway enjoy the channel I look forward to learning more about it☀️🌴🌊
Hi from New Zealand. We love your channel. We have a Carver 450 and have just bought a Carver 530, which we stay on for extended periods and we absolutely love the space and layout of this bigger boat.
the maintenance on a 20 year old boat will drive you bankrupt, for $270 K you cay buy a condo or house in Mexico and retire with tons of money left over, that boat is a bucket of endless rust
Good video as always. As it appeared in the video, forward visibility from the lower helm looked like it was quite reduced, maybe obstructed by the dash. Looks like operating there would be a chore.
This is a pretty cool boat and the price isn't too bad. But like a vehicle, one cannot ignore the long term costs of boat ownership. They require continuous maintenance. I do think your option here is affordable and cool. I want to borrow it lol :).
Interesting that you would do this video. I've been looking at various Chris Craft about the same size as the one you are going to be showcasing. And a few somewhat larger. Coincidence, but fun,
Estos yates son lindos para navegar en la Amazonía de Latinoamérica, ya que ahí no existes uracanes o tormentas de gran magnitud que hcaen hundir los barcos, pero si existen lluvias con truenos y vientos moderados que levantan olas moderados, no como en el mar que son olas gigantes
Yeah. plus the maintenance, utilities, etc. If I had to downsize, I'd get an RV. Fun to see these, though, plus an attractive, fun woman is pleasant viewing.
How much does it cost to dock in a marina? Do you stay docked in same place or do you guys travel to different locations? I’ve been full time RV’ing for 5 years, this looks awesome.
It can vary quite a bit depending on where you live or want to leave your boat. Most marinas have their slip rates on their websites. You can get a feel of it that way.
We owned a 1985 33ft voyager. The one thing that sucks about this one NO OVEN!!! To live aboard gotta have it. We had it on the 33ft you can't microwave a beef roast with carots & potatos😁.
The only drawback is that the condo appreciates in value over time whereas a boat depreciates over time. If you intended to sell the condo and retire on that money, then the boat is the wrong solution.
After 22 years living on and working on boats as captain, engineer or deck hand, I moved into a class A RV. Five years ago, at 71, I became an RV solar installer. Living 'off grid' has taught me a lot. But I'm ready to go back home - to the waters of the Gulf of Alaska. While it's taking longer to untie the myriad of connections I've made, I am resolved in my mission. NautiStyles and Aquaholic have kept my goal alive and my knowledge current. I find the two distinctly different styles of the two channels actually compliment each other through facts and practicality.
I love seeing older bargains. As they still look nice, and means lesser mortals can enjoy the life. I'd love to live aboard a yacht. But still would need a huge euro millions jackpot. As I'd need a crew, as my disability means I couldn't Capt her myself. This vessels is a lot of yacht for under 300,000.
With this video, I've caught up and seen all of them. Thank you Victoria & Rico for giving me a wonderful distraction from quarantine! You two are so much fun to watch, especially how you cut up together on the out takes! I am looking forward to seeing more of your crewing and charter experiences. Of course, the yacht tours supply ideas for lottery dreams..
Love your tours of the different boats. It's so hard to find tours of different boats that are like your tours. You open cabinets or compartments to show how big or beep the space is. You go through the boat like you're opening up a Christmas present. And when you find a "hidden" door and inside is the closest or waher/dryer combo...you truly act like, "yea, I found lost treasure," I love that. 💘
I really enjoy watching your videos and that you are looking at more affordable boats. I was in a SAR unit with the Coast Guard and ran the 44’ motor lifeboat. Always dreamed about finding one, refurbishing it and living aboard it but alas, it did not happen. Enjoy your outtakes and your thoroughness. Keep it up.
Hot shower on port side of swim platform. She's correct about putting a small foldout table in the lower helm. Wife uses for make up mirror. Grandchildren eat there sometimes. Only major drawback is no good place for trashcans on this boat. You can definitely have more seating in cockpit, no problem and the loveseat opens into a small chaise on most models. On the back of upper helm station, we added railing so no one would not fall out of upper helm area, near the stairs and a nice size deep freezer plus grill and enclosed the entire upper helm with large Eisenglass panels. Wife and I surprised that they took out the shower on the port side head! That's actually a larger shower than what is in the port side/mid ship master (under the lower helm.) Hate to say something negative, but it's not easy to make the beds unless you have super light mattresses. We've have thoroughly enjoyed ours since 2000, and have made many upgrades. We don't live aboard unless traveling to Keys, Bahamas, Caribbean from FL and from NC's Outer Banks, which is our home port. Looking to upgrade as grands are getting older (and more plentiful!) Carver does give you a lot of bang for the buck. We have also owned a Hatteras but would buy another Carver. Depends on your lifestyle and how you use your vessel as to the build you'd be the most comfortable with. We both ABSOLUTELY LOVE your channel and are blown away at the size of the davit and tender they put on this 45 Voyager! WHOA!
"ATV" Oh, I saw Victoria in a shower... lol. That yacht is really cool. As I approach retirement age I need to consider what I want to do. A live aboard is in consideration.
Hope to see you all in the LIVE CHAT during our Commercial FREE Premiere 😉 If you can’t make it, I will “see you” the the comment section 💙⚓️

What’s the monthly cost to live on a yacht? We are thinking of selling our house and retire on a yacht.
serious question: what happens to your waste (particularly your excrement and urine)? Is there some sort of septic tank? how does that work exactly?
How is it in a big storm? I be afraid that boat would get wreaked and then there goes all your money? Does insurance cover that for sure?
@@joejackson9986 They have waste tanks like RV’s.
Boats depreciate. Marinas cost Money... like owning but still renting.
There's a reason boats are seen as money pits.
What's a 250,000 dollar boat worth after 25 years in comparison to a house?
What kind of house in can you buy in LA for $250 k? A modest two bedroom house in Compton costs double that..
This may not be a good choice for you but it would work for me. I can rent my home out, live on the boat and still put money in my pocket.
A yacht can always have a refit done if the hull is good. They do not depreciate like people would think. Depends on the quality of the build on the house or the yacht.
@@CaptStu-go1zy Correct. & most of the depreciation happens in the first couple of years.

I'm curious as to what the rent is for a slip on average per month, along with electric and fresh water hookups.
I'm interested as well
Often around $2.00 a foot but less if you are leasing somewhere longer term. Depends on what kind of marina you choose and where it is located. NYC will be higher than a podunk town in SC. It's all about location and amenities!
Living aboard full time is not as romantic as one might dream: It’s an instant depreciating purchase w/difficult & expensive insurance; owner has to know how to diagnose & repair specialized electrical, plumbing, mechanical & structural issues where parts are often difficult to find. And then try sleeping well when anchored out of port even in calmer waters. Forget about dodging storms. But it’s a way of life for many indeed.
Dig the hair, Cap'n V. Boat's pretty cool...make it AirBnB!
thank you, just a note... airBnB is prohibited in most of the private marinas in LA 🙈
at the 16min mark of the video the time on the clock reads 3:13 and this video was posted on 3/13. cool! i think it's a sign you two should buy the boat HA!
I like these types of videos of older boats. Please keep posting the outtakes!
Will do! 🙌🏻😝😂
Agreed,these are nice.
Great layout! Too bad it's not up here in the PNW, since we're looking for a liveaboard with a slip!! Love your outtakes too! Cheers!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great tour guys! Victoria, your hair is on point today! Are you going supermodel on us?
🙈😝😂 thanks
My sister bought a 120 000 old sail boat in San Diego. Slip rental is like 400 USD a month. Boat does not even run she just lives on it. Life is good for her ATM.
Very nice review. Someone has done a great job in the upgrades. Love our '07 46 Voyager. We went with the 3 cabin layout and hard top. (Honestly, wouldn't buy one without the hard top)
I'm new to this. Just started looking into different ways of living via RV/ Van life now running across your channel and watching a few videos. Boat/mini Yacht seems pretty cool. A native to florida I'm curious what the ballpark cost are for the Marina fees for a yacht this size? I'm curious how you empty your tanks as well I'm guessing they do all of that at the marina? Anyway enjoy the channel I look forward to learning more about it☀️🌴🌊
Hi from New Zealand. We love your channel. We have a Carver 450 and have just bought a Carver 530, which we stay on for extended periods and we absolutely love the space and layout of this bigger boat.
hi guys, so glad to hear that! carvers are great boats! The new 52 looks great as well, can’t wait to film one for the channel
Likeable boat, but the engine room sure needs some TLC
The boat is 20 years old. I've seen boat's half this age in much worse condition.
Wowsers lovn the Nauti Hostess!
Great program, enjoying the tour and information.
Great Vlog.
Glad you enjoyed it!
the maintenance on a 20 year old boat will drive you bankrupt, for $270 K you cay buy a condo or house in Mexico and retire with tons of money left over, that boat is a bucket of endless rust
Good video as always. As it appeared in the video, forward visibility from the lower helm looked like it was quite reduced, maybe obstructed by the dash. Looks like operating there would be a chore.
Monthly fee for the slip? Plenty I'm sure and a quarter million dollars for a 20 year old Fiberglass tub. Not for me.
one thing I would like to see in all reviews, not just yours (which I enjoy) is the boat's range. How far can I go at cruising speed with full tanks?
this one wasn't made to go very far. It only holds 280 gallons.
Excellent. Outside the Box thinking, Baby!!!
But I moved to Texas, instead.
Moved to Georgia, 3000 sqft house on a acre for the price of this boat lololol
Yeah, except you have to live in Georgia! lololol
But are you allowed to vote?
But, you can't sail to Barbados . This is less than a similarly appointed motor home. Tough decision. Full time RV or full time yacht..
Who in their right mind would live in the God forsaken land of commufornia. How much more un-American can you get.
@@saisayasith Aha. But, with a yacht like this, one could GTFO of the craziness of Commiefornia
This is a pretty cool boat and the price isn't too bad. But like a vehicle, one cannot ignore the long term costs of boat ownership. They require continuous maintenance. I do think your option here is affordable and cool. I want to borrow it lol :).
Interesting that you would do this video. I've been looking at various Chris Craft about the same size as the one you are going to be showcasing. And a few somewhat larger. Coincidence, but fun,
🙌🏻🙌🏻👌🏻
Estos yates son lindos para navegar en la Amazonía de Latinoamérica, ya que ahí no existes uracanes o tormentas de gran magnitud que hcaen hundir los barcos, pero si existen lluvias con truenos y vientos moderados que levantan olas moderados, no como en el mar que son olas gigantes
Nice tour! Let's also give credits to the cameraman for his great work in capturing those curves and angles :)
I like your tours. You guys do a great job of mixing the specifications of a boat with the practical implications of living with the boat.
The cost of the slip is going to make it more expensive then a condo.
You ain’t kidding. We pay $860 in Channel Island Marina plus they bend you over for marine diesel too.
Depends where you live, where I am, the condo association fees are easily 800-1000 dollars per month for middle to nice-ish places.
Yeah. plus the maintenance, utilities, etc.
If I had to downsize, I'd get an RV. Fun to see these, though, plus an attractive, fun woman is pleasant viewing.

@@charlieandhudsonspal1312: Give a guy a little slack for typos... maybe also not his 1st language. Just a thought from a fellow Grammar Policeman.
What about insurance costs, docking charges, ongoing maintenance items and costs, any other things which are expenses to own?
We love it when victoria is always in the shower
Uh WOW 😳
How much does it cost to dock in a marina? Do you stay docked in same place or do you guys travel to different locations? I’ve been full time RV’ing for 5 years, this looks awesome.
Great yacht and as always a great video!
Many thanks!
'very annoying voice / speech pattern
What does the dockage fees run for something like this I don’t see it mentioned anywhere?
It can vary quite a bit depending on where you live or want to leave your boat. Most marinas have their slip rates on their websites. You can get a feel of it that way.
Often around $2.00 a foot but less if you are leasing somewhere longer term. Depends on what kind of marina you choose.
@@CaptStu-go1zy Thanks for the info appreciate it
We owned a 1985 33ft voyager. The one thing that sucks about this one NO OVEN!!! To live aboard gotta have it. We had it on the 33ft you can't microwave a beef roast with carots & potatos😁.
haha, we just trade in our microwave space for the little oven! lol
And the price of boats in LA goes through the roof...... until they see what just happened to the price of fuel!
7:56 do any of your younger viewers even know what a cassette tape player is⁉️ 🤔 💭 🧐❗️😅😂🤣😆
lol prob not
Great tour. I could live on that boat! Also, like the hairdo!
Thanks so much!
👁👁Another great video guys 👍 keep them coming🇯🇲🍸🍾😎
I would love to see you feature a quick workup of realistic monthly cost of ownership with each yacht.
Noted
please include marina costs avg for a boat that size. (example, where it currently resides)
JUST SUBSCRIBED GREAT SHOW FT LAUDERDALE BEACH HERE
thanks for the sub 🙌🏻💙🙏🏻⚓️
@@NautiStyles GREAT SHOWING OF BOATS YACHTS
You guys have the best walk through videos! That boat would be perfect for me!!!! Too bad it was not in Japan!
🙏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
The only drawback is that the condo appreciates in value over time whereas a boat depreciates over time. If you intended to sell the condo and retire on that money, then the boat is the wrong solution.
New editing style is a bit too fast.
I was confused by how quick we transitioned from the VIP into the Master, so I had to rewind that bit.
Agreed,, was my comment, I missed the transition from bdrm1 to 2 and the exact layout.
After 22 years living on and working on boats as captain, engineer or deck hand, I moved into a class A RV. Five years ago, at 71, I became an RV solar installer. Living 'off grid' has taught me a lot. But I'm ready to go back home - to the waters of the Gulf of Alaska. While it's taking longer to untie the myriad of connections I've made, I am resolved in my mission. NautiStyles and Aquaholic have kept my goal alive and my knowledge current. I find the two distinctly different styles of the two channels actually compliment each other through facts and practicality.
Ooohh thank you kindly
Always a good video. This is well kept motor yacht. Carver is a quality craft. America loves you guys !
Wow, thank you!
Thanks man!:-)
I love seeing older bargains. As they still look nice, and means lesser mortals can enjoy the life. I'd love to live aboard a yacht. But still would need a huge euro millions jackpot. As I'd need a crew, as my disability means I couldn't Capt her myself.
This vessels is a lot of yacht for under 300,000.
💙💙👌🏻
One of my all time favorite boats.
PS At least you all didn't call the television set THE A-TEAM :).
With this video, I've caught up and seen all of them. Thank you Victoria & Rico for giving me a wonderful distraction from quarantine! You two are so much fun to watch, especially how you cut up together on the out takes! I am looking forward to seeing more of your crewing and charter experiences. Of course, the yacht tours supply ideas for lottery dreams..
Wonderful! thank you so much for taking the time to comment
Been playing catch up on your vids, wife watched this one first,,, what a find, now she is interested!!!
👍🏻👍🏻
Love your tours of the different boats. It's so hard to find tours of different boats that are like your tours. You open cabinets or compartments to show how big or beep the space is. You go through the boat like you're opening up a Christmas present. And when you find a "hidden" door and inside is the closest or waher/dryer combo...you truly act like, "yea, I found lost treasure," I love that. 💘
🙈😝😂 so glad you enjoy our tours,no matter how many yachts and boats I have been on I just love discovering new ones
I really enjoy watching your videos and that you are looking at more affordable boats. I was in a SAR unit with the Coast Guard and ran the 44’ motor lifeboat. Always dreamed about finding one, refurbishing it and living aboard it but alas, it did not happen. Enjoy your outtakes and your thoroughness. Keep it up.
pretty cool unit to live in .. totally agree on the Catalina trip project 😎
Right on!
Hot shower on port side of swim platform. She's correct about putting a small foldout table in the lower helm. Wife uses for make up mirror. Grandchildren eat there sometimes. Only major drawback is no good place for trashcans on this boat. You can definitely have more seating in cockpit, no problem and the loveseat opens into a small chaise on most models. On the back of upper helm station, we added railing so no one would not fall out of upper helm area, near the stairs and a nice size deep freezer plus grill and enclosed the entire upper helm with large Eisenglass panels. Wife and I surprised that they took out the shower on the port side head! That's actually a larger shower than what is in the port side/mid ship master (under the lower helm.) Hate to say something negative, but it's not easy to make the beds unless you have super light mattresses. We've have thoroughly enjoyed ours since 2000, and have made many upgrades. We don't live aboard unless traveling to Keys, Bahamas, Caribbean from FL and from NC's Outer Banks, which is our home port. Looking to upgrade as grands are getting older (and more plentiful!) Carver does give you a lot of bang for the buck. We have also owned a Hatteras but would buy another Carver. Depends on your lifestyle and how you use your vessel as to the build you'd be the most comfortable with. We both ABSOLUTELY LOVE your channel and are blown away at the size of the davit and tender they put on this 45 Voyager! WHOA!
I really liked this video, the boat appears to be affordable to us mere mortals. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
"ATV" Oh, I saw Victoria in a shower... lol. That yacht is really cool. As I approach retirement age I need to consider what I want to do. A live aboard is in consideration.
Great presentation, thanks for sharing 😀
Thanks for watching!
Very nice. All it needs is a good water maker.
yep, easily done
