35 Carver Super Sport 2007

Boat Review

Escape from the ordinary experience with the extraordinary 35 Super Sport. Its generous exterior and interior spaces offer a true departure from comparably sized yachts, as does its fuel capacity, the largest in her class. This versatile model is available in two interior configurations – a single stateroom featuring a face-to-face dinette, or the two stateroom layout with a mid-ship cabin. There’s also your choice of bridge layouts – the forward helm station for extended cruising, or the aft helm and optional fishing package for recreational and water activities. Either way, there’s safe and easy access to the foredeck.

The design makes full use of the over 13 ft. beam to maximize interior volume, along with generous windows for ample natural light. The ideal master stateroom includes a queen-sized island berth with pillow top innerspring mattress, along with private access to the head with an enclosed shower stall. The 35 Super Sport is C.A.S.T.-built to perfection and fully featured to include air conditioning, Kohler® generator, and SeaKey as standard onboard equipment, as well as our Carver Docking System with bow and stern thrusters.

Whether you want to leave the space for a dance floor or add a table and chairs for outside dining, the cockpit area allows you to do both with its open layout. The cockpit also includes access to the shore power and the cable hook-ups which are on the port side. The hot and cold transom shower is readily available by the transom door.

Through the transom door, you can access the oversized swim platform with stainless steel swim ladder underneath the platform. I would have preferred an integrated folding ladder in the platform instead of underneath the platform where access could be difficult in choppy water.

A few molded-in steps give you great access from the cockpit to the bridge. The captain and companion seats with armrests sit on top of adjustable pedestals. A large comfortable couch can be found just in front of the helm, so that your family can enjoy the cruise from up here too. Canvas and other large items can be stored in the large watertight cabinets.

The helm is fully-equipped with split shifters, Teleflex combination gauges, stereo remote, tilt wheel, and room for your choice of electronics. The wood grain dash adds a touch of style, while the black pad lining the top of the dash allows you to read the instruments much easier.

Moving to the bow to adjust the windlass or to lay out on the optional sun pad is made safe by the high stainless steel rails.

The excitement of entering the cabin starts with the easy to use tinted sliding glass door with standard screen door. The full-beam salon is airy and bright with a great view from any angle with the 360-degree layout of the windows.

The cherry wood décor gives the cabin a warm and inviting feeling. To starboard is an L-shaped lounge that gives you a perfect seat to converse, or watch a movie on the standard 20” flat screen TV and DVD player. The movable table and optional movable stools also allow you to rearrange the dinette to fit your needs.

If you opt out of the additional stateroom a larger conversational dinette will take its place. The dinette seats four adults comfortably and has an abundant amount of storage beneath the seats. The cherry wood countertops and dry bar with wine and glass rack adorn the wall. When needed, the dinette can be converted into a double berth.

The galley is complete with a built-in garbage can, covered stainless steel sink, and microwave/coffee maker (the MicroBrew). The oversized Nova Cool refrigerator and freezer add to the galley’s functionality.

The head is accessible from both the salon and master stateroom. It features a stylish vanity, stainless steel sink, separate shower stall and Vacuflush toilet.

Two steps on either side make accessing the elegant queen berth easy. Relax before bed while watching your favorite DVD on the optional flip down 15” flat screen TV and when the movie is over, the separate A/C controls will allow you to sleep in perfect comfort.

The two cedar-lined hanging lockers will keep your clothes fresh and wrinkle-free, while the seven cabinets and surrounding shelves allow you to store all the necessities for your journey.

The optional stateroom is located on the starboard side of the boat. Carver gives you the option of a queen-sized berth or twin berths. You’ll find that there’s sufficient room for your guest’s overnight gear in the hanging locker.

The engine room is accessed through the floor in the salon. It is completely gel coated for a clean look with all wires labeled and tied down. Both engines can be accessed on all sides for general maintenance checks.
