Interior soft goods need a bit of TLC, but this spacious Motor Yacht has a lot to offer!
The 1987 Carver 4207 Aft Cabin Motor Yacht is widely respected for its combination of comfort, space, and value, especially in the used boat market. At 42 feet in length with a generous 15-foot beam, it was one of Carver's largest and most popular models during its production run from 1985 to 1991. Its design reflects a strong focus on maximizing interior volume and liveaboard comfort, making it a favorite among cruising couples and small families.
One of the yacht's standout features is its interior layout. The salon is spacious and well-appointed, typically finished with teak trim and featuring an L-shaped sleeper sofa, wet bar, and entertainment center. Below deck, the galley is fully equipped with a double-door refrigerator, microwave/convection oven, and ample cabinetry. The yacht includes two private staterooms, each with its own head. The aft cabin is particularly roomy, offering a walkaround queen berth and ensuite head with shower, providing privacy and comfort for the owners.
Above deck, the Carver 42 offers both a flybridge and an enclosed aft deck. The flybridge has generous seating and good visibility, while the aft deck—often equipped with a hardtop and wet bar—is ideal for entertaining or relaxing. This multi-level outdoor space is one of the yacht’s strong selling points, as it greatly enhances its livability for longer cruises or dockside living.
In terms of performance, this Carver 42 is fitted with twin 350hp Crusader gasoline engines, giving them a cruising speed in the 13–14 knot range and a top speed near 20 knots. The hull is a solid fiberglass modified-V design, and Carver's construction during this era included a robust fiberglass stringer system, which adds to the vessel's long-term durability.
Overall, the 1987 Carver 4207 Aft Cabin remains a compelling choice for buyers looking for an affordable, roomy, and comfortable liveaboard or cruiser.
