Carver Owners Forum

Hello all,

I am very interested in actual owner experience, and reviews of this particular boat. I am especially interested in how the boat rides, about how many people you can comfortable carry? Does the boat tend to bob or tip with a 3-4 or more people up on the flybridge?
We are a family of four most of the time on the boat, but would like to take maybe10- 12(?) on rare occasions for a slow sunset harbor cruise.

I would like to know the pros and cons.

Thank you in advance.
sal..

I am unfamiliar with that particular model however I can tell you that a Mariner 36M will accommodate 10-12 on your sunset harbor cruise.

Sounds like a booze cruise to me.

Yes,
Refreshments will be served to all the adults, except the responsible Captain .
Still looking to hear of any one with experience on this boat, or if they know anyone who owns one. The Carver C36 is basically the exact same as the Carver C34, if that helps.

Hello. I have a 2013 C34.(Naples, FL) The boat handles well. I have not had more than 4 people on the flybridge but you wouldn't know anyone was up there regarding handling. You will get sprayed up there if you are heading into swells under power. Doesn't happen often but know that you would have to put up the isinglass if heading out into rougher water.

Ours now has 300 hours on it (we bought it used last season) and have had to replace a few things on it such as the salon A/C unit and digital throttle controls. Not cheap but issues are due to the boat sitting around and not being used by previous owners. Have it up to snuff now and enjoy our overnights at anchor. It is a lot of boat for 36 feet.
