2003 Carver 460 Voyager

““THREE STATEROOMS. TWIN DIESELS. 580 HOURS.”

The Carver 460 Voyager occupies a specific place in the motoryacht market that is genuinely hard to replicate at this price point. It is a true three-stateroom, two-head layout in a sub-47-foot package, powered by twin Volvo diesel inboards with bow and stern thrusters — the kind of platform that lets one couple manage the boat confidently without crew. That combination of self-sufficient handling and genuine liveaboard capacity is the core of the value proposition here.

What stands out on this particular hull is the mechanical spec. The twin TAMD75P-A Volvos have been used to only 580 hours — well below average for a 2003 vessel — and the Kohler 15.5 KW generator shows just over 500 hours. The bottom was freshly painted in January 2025 and the anodes were replaced at the same time, so the running gear is current. The 560-gallon fuel capacity supports extended coastal passages without marina dependency, and the Volvo QL bow and stern thrusters make single-handed docking straightforward on a vessel this size.

For a buyer looking for a live-aboard-capable motoryacht or a serious cruising platform without the overhead of a 50-foot-plus vessel, this one checks the boxes. Three staterooms, two heads with granite vanities and glass showers, a full galley, and a 15.5 KW generator make extended time aboard genuinely comfortable. At $233,000, the hours-to-price ratio is one of the better values in the mid-40-foot diesel cruiser category right now.”
