Carver 44 Sojourn
Domestic debut
Dynamic new design
The design and character of the new 44 Sojourn is strikingly different from other boats — successfully combining the low-profile style and performance of an express cruiser with the roomy bridge, spacious cockpit and open-air salon of a sedan. Additionally, all of the living space is on one convenient stair-less level.
A low profile and an extended superstructure make the yacht look unique, contemporary, lean and aggressive. The extended superstructure also gives the 44 the most spacious bridge of any boat this size. The bridge seats at least 12 people, so guests can enjoy the view from aloft while underway and at dockside. The bridge also has a roomy sun lounge. Add the refrigerator and grill to this area, and you have a self-contained environment that is equal to no other boat.
The helm is designed to accommodate a full array of high tech nav/com instruments, and space is provided to flush-mount a 12″ display. The painted aluminum arch and integral hardtop serve as sturdy mounting platforms for radio, television and radar antennas and as a beefy anchor point for the bridge’s full enclosure.
Step inside the 44, and you’ll immediately notice that unlike an express-style boat, a number of salon windows and an aft sliding door let in plenty of sunlight. Various types of finely finished hardwoods are used throughout the yacht to provide a stylish, contemporary atmosphere. To port is a sectional sofa lounge and to starboard a dinette that seats six and converts to a double bed. The galley is adjacent to the salon and is equipped with a full complement of home-like features.
Situated forward of the galley are two staterooms and two head compartments. The master stateroom has a roomy island berth, and the VIP stateroom features his and hers twin beds. For at-home comfort inner-spring, pillow-top mattresses are used in both staterooms. And, in true Carver tradition, there is plenty of space to store and hang clothing and personal items for an extended cruise.
The large transom platform makes boarding the boat while at dockside safe and convenient. Integrated into the transom is a unique jump seat. The boat’s spacious cockpit has built-in, secure storage for dock lines, fenders and other equipment. A walk to the boat’s foredeck from the cockpit is safe and secure, because the walkway is extra wide and the strong stainless steel handrails have double welded bases. On the foredeck you’ll find a comfortable, double-wide chaise lounge, automatic windlass and remote control spot light.
This all new Carver has been designed for Volvo’s innovative IPS drive system, which provides power to run at 29 knots at cruising speed and achieve a top speed of 32 knots. Volvo IPS drives provide improved propulsion efficiency when compared to traditional shaft-driven systems. And with the joystick control you’ll be able to dock the Carver 44 with a level of precision and confidence that you may never thought possible.
The Carver 44 is an entirely new and unique style of yacht that’s built to accommodate fun-filled time on the water without having to sacrifice comfort, space, style or safety.
