1989 Carver Santego Yacht "Floating Condo" Liveaboard
Hello everyone,
Up for sale I have my 1989 Carver Santego 3467 Model Length is 34ft HOWEVER, this boat is a VERY large and spacious 34ft. Its LOA (or length overall) is 42ft and its beam (width) Is slightly over 13ft. Very stable blue water capable cruiser. Prior owners have taken it to the Bahamas and back several times.
The Exterior: This Carver has features that stand out from other Motor yachts that are highly sought after and make this one a very desirable model. The first being the fact that it has a pass through from the helm onto the foredeck. You can walk from the fly bridge straight out onto the forward deck. The boat is equipped with a 2004 model Garmin GPS Radar and color chart plotter with a large screen.
The interior of the boat features ability to sleep 6 adults. The bathroom has a full separate shower with working hot water and good water pressure throughout the boat. I am 6'2 and 200lbs and have plenty of room to take a nice shower onboard. The Galley (or kitchen) is equipped with a Microwave and electric OVEN with stove top, Refrigerator/ Freezer combo and a full bar with icemaker adjacent to the Galley. The forward stateroom has a queen size bed (needs mattress, which you can easily purchase a queen memory foam topper and cut to fit, I have used this on previous boats. Plenty of storage throughout the boat makes it an excellent candidate for live-aboard.
Mechanical Condition: Obviously due to the extremely low price you knew there would be a problem with the boat right? Both Engines are Mercruisers 474 fully inboard units, and are currently Inoperable and will more than likely need to be rebuilt. (these motors were repowered and rebuilt back in 2007 and I have receipts for the work) Prior owner was a lawyer who didn't have any more time for the boat and his wife forced the sale. I have called and gotten quotes from the same company that originally rebuilt them and the cost to do so again (including shipping) is under $6k total. I have ALL PAPERWORK AND OPERATORS Manuals that came with the boat Boat has dual built in Marine Air systems that have been upgraded and have digital control panels, but will need bottom cleaning and service to A/C system before running them. I have been cooling the boat down inside with a nice 12k BTU portable A/C unit. This boat also has a Kohler Genset! (just that by itself is very valuable)
Value: There are countless examples of the same boat for sale online for 30k-50k This would need a maximum of 10k to make it perfect under power again (motors rebuilt and bottom paint, exterior buff ect) You could fix it, flip it and sell it for a profit! All while living on it, or use it as a South Florida vacation getaway condo. Slip fee is $444 per month water and electric included. It is located at Homestead Bayfront Park Marina. In Homestead, FL just south of Miami.
My original intentions for this boat was to be used as a floating condo for liveaboard. You could do the same! I was going to take a job in Miami which never happened I'm in the Tampa Bay area and have another Yacht that I live on.
PRICE IS $8,500. FIRM. My Cell is show contact info My name is Andrew, I am the owner, boat is free and clear. Don't call me to "tire kick", I am a busy executive.
