The helm is equipped with full instrumentation, including options for updated electronics like Garmin GPS/chartplotters, radar, autopilot, and VHF radio.
• Swim Platform: A wide integral swim platform includes a concealed telescoping swim ladder and a transom storage locker, ideal for water sports or storing gear. Some models feature a hot/cold transom shower.
• Additional Features: Foredeck sunpad, full canvas enclosure with carpet, and non-skid deck surfaces for safety. The aft deck and bridge are designed for socializing, with ample seating and storage.
Interior and Accommodations
The Carver 396’s interior is a standout, utilizing a “great room” concept that combines the salon, galley, and dinette into a single, open, and spacious area with nearly 7 feet of headroom.
• Salon: The full-beam salon is bright and airy, thanks to large, tiered windows that provide panoramic views and ample natural light. It features high-gloss cherry woodwork, Ultraleather or plush fabric seating, and a hi-lo table that serves as both a cocktail and dining table. Entertainment options include a Samsung TV, AM/FM stereo with CD player, and optional DVD systems.
• Galley: Located to port in a casually sunken area, the galley is equipped with a full-size LG refrigerator/freezer, three-burner electric cooktop, convection/microwave oven, coffee maker, and a sink. Ample cabinetry and counter space make it functional for extended stays.
• Forward Stateroom: The guest stateroom features a queen-size island berth with an innerspring mattress, accessible via steps on either side. The en-suite head is split, with a separate shower compartment to port and a VacuFlush toilet compartment to starboard, both with good storage.
• Master Stateroom: Located aft, the master stateroom includes a walkaround queen berth, end tables, built-in storage, and direct access to a private head with a separate shower stall. A transom escape hatch adds safety and ventilation.
• Additional Amenities: Central vacuum system, air conditioning/heating, and decorator pillows enhance comfort. The open layout ensures easy movement and conversation between spaces.
