1997 CARVER YACHTS 500 COCKPIT MY Compare

Built by Carver Yachts in 1997, the 500 Cockpit MY is a 15.23-metre motor yacht that combines practical cruising capability with comfortable accommodation. This vessel offers a straightforward, well-thought-out layout designed for those seeking reliable coastal and extended cruising performance.

The yacht features two private staterooms—one aft and one forward—each with its own full head compartment and shower, ensuring complete privacy for owner and guests. Power comes from twin Cummins 420 HP freshwater-cooled inboard diesel engines, with approximately 1,200 hours on the main engines and 1,690 hours on the generator. The vessel offers generous storage throughout, a full galley with proper appliances, a spacious salon with comfortable seating, and a cockpit accessible directly from the master stateroom for additional outdoor living space.

This Carver is well-suited to buyers seeking a capable live-aboard or cruising platform for extended passages—whether exploring the Great Loop, the Bahamas, South Florida or the Florida Keys. Her two-stateroom layout and comprehensive storage make her equally attractive to owners who value simplicity, reliability and space for longer journeys without unnecessary complexity.
