Overview

2013 54 Carver Voyager Yacht IN THE MOMENT for sale. As Carver Voyagers go, or any mid-50 foot cruisers of this vintage for that matter, IN THE MOMENT sets the standard for what they should all aspire to be. Under the watchful eye of an incredibly meticulous, lifelong boater, she's been professionally maintained updated, and upgraded to the point she's simply not the same boat she was when she exited the factory. The long list of improvements nearly qualifies the boat as enjoying a total refit. It DOES indeed qualify the statement that there's not another Voyager out there like her. If you're in the market for an incredibly well-looked-after, low-hour, clean, spacious, and capable cruiser IN THE MOMENT definitely requires your attention. She enjoyed the first four years of her life in freshwater, then moved south to Florida. Her rich, dark Imperial blue hull sides and white gel coat shine bright. The new acrylic Aquaglas® bridge enclosure is crystal clear, and the rest of the boat inside and out follows suit. Washed bi-weekly, waxed every three months, stainless polished every two, bottom scrubbed every 10-14 days... again, needless to say, she's a unique vessel in the most positive of ways and is cared for like a yacht twice her size. All maintenance is up to date including recent full cooler service, oil, filters, zincs, impellers, etc. All with meticulous records kept and available for serious buyers.
