Overview

At 46 feet in length with a 14.92-foot beam, this vessel balances seaworthiness with spacious interior volume—a hallmark of the Carver 466's design philosophy. Powered by twin Volvo Diesel TAM75 EDC engines producing 480 horsepower combined, the yacht is equipped for reliable, efficient cruising across coastal and offshore waters.

Located in Stuart , Florida, this motor yacht has been maintained and is ready for immediate use by an owner seeking a proven platform for cruising and entertaining.
Helm and Navigation Systems
The Carver 466 features a generously proportioned flybridge helm station that serves as the command center for the vessel. The wraparound lounge design provides seating for four guests while maintaining full visibility and easy access to the control console. The adjustable helm seat accommodates the captain's needs during extended cruising, while two companion swivel chairs allow crew or guests to remain in the wheelhouse during navigation. The console layout provides abundant space for electronics and instrumentation. Navigation and autopilot functions are managed through a RayMarine Multifunction Display, which integrates chart plotting, sonar, and vessel data into a single interface. The RayMarine Autopilot system reduces fatigue during long passages and allows precision station-keeping during anchoring or docking. Twin VHF radios ensure reliable communication with other vessels, shore stations, and the U.S. Coast Guard across multiple frequencies. The Fusion stereo system provides entertainment during cruising and entertaining, with audio distributed throughout the vessel. Maneuvering assistance is provided by a bow thruster and stern thruster, critical systems for single-handed operation and tight-quarters docking. The Zip Wake Auto Trim Tabs automatically adjust the vessel's trim based on speed, loading, and sea conditions, optimizing fuel efficiency and ride quality. These systems collectively reduce operational complexity and enhance safety during varied boating conditions.
Power and Propulsion
Twin Volvo Diesel TAM75 EDC engines form the mechanical heart of the 466, each producing 240 horsepower and operating on marine diesel fuel. The TAM75 EDC platform is known for reliability, fuel efficiency, and longevity in extended cruising applications. Combined output of 480 horsepower provides sufficient power for cruising speeds while maintaining reasonable fuel consumption. The engines are supported by a 17-kilowatt Onan generator, which supplies 120-volt and 240-volt electrical power to air conditioning, galley appliances, and hotel loads while at anchor or during extended idle periods. The Reverse Oil Change System simplifies engine maintenance by allowing oil changes to be performed without crawling into confined engine spaces—a practical feature that encourages regular service intervals and extends engine life. At the time of listing, the twin diesels had accumulated 1,465 hours of operation, while the generator showed 1,715 hours. These figures suggest moderate use and indicate the engines have not yet reached mid-life service intervals typical for marine diesel powerplants.

The third stateroom offers additional berth space for extended family or cruising partners. The salon is the heart of the interior, and the Carver 466's raised side-deck design creates exceptional headroom and volume in this central living space. The striking decor incorporates cherry wood cabinetry and trim, creating a warm, sophisticated aesthetic. The entertainment group includes a television, VCR, and stereo system, supporting movie nights and music enjoyment.
