Carver Debuts C43 Coupe
Carver Yachts’ new C43 Coupe turned heads at the Progressive
Insurance Miami International Boat Show in February,
showcasing the renowned Carver design philosophy.
The C43 offers clean, contemporary lines and a distinctive
hull shape. The interior features a two-stateroom design
and best-in-class headroom. The broad, single-level salon’s
large opening windows offer 360-degree views, creating a
seamless indoor-outdoor living space when the sliding glass
door to the roomy cockpit is open.
The C43 also boasts comfortable berths, a well-appointed
aft galley, private owners’ head with stall shower, and a
separate head for day use and overnight guests.
The exterior features a large swim platform, electric glass
sunroof, available sun pad, retractable sun shade, and wet
bar for the cockpit.
