Carver 506 Motor Yacht - Manufacturer Descriptions

Topside, the command bridge is available with full hard enclosures, optional air conditioning, and seating for nine. With over 100 square feet of aft deck space, and an optional central island wetbar with an icemaker and refrigerator, owners discover the entertainment potential.
