Carver 564 Motor Yacht - (Fixer-Upper Opportunity)
2002 Carver 564 Motor Yacht Huge Volume, Pilot House, Serious Liveaboard Potential (Fixer-Upper Opportunity)
If you're chasing a big-volume American motor yacht with proper presence, the 2002 Carver 564 Motor Yacht delivers the layout and versatility that make these boats so popular, enormous accommodation, an entertainer's aft deck and flybridge, and the kind of interior volume that genuinely feels like an apartment on the water.
This particular vessel has proven bluewater capability in the real world: the current owner purchased the boat around 5 years ago and relocated her from Perth to Melbourne, demonstrating what the 564 platform is capable of when prepared correctly.
That said, this is being offered as a straight-shooting "as is, where is" sale. The boat presents in below-average condition and should be approached as a project / value-buy for a buyer who wants to bring a great platform back to standard.
The Highlights (What You're Really Buying)
Carver 564 -- renowned for massive internal volume and smart separation of living spaces
Pilot House / Enclosed Helm style layout (ideal for year-round cruising)
Multiple cabins + multiple bathrooms (final configuration to be confirmed on inspection)
Excellent liveaboard / entertainer potential with generous saloon, galley and outdoor areas
Relocation-friendly design -- previously completed Perth -> Melbourne voyage (once recommissioned)
Condition & Recommissioning Notes (Read This)
The boat has no recent maintenance records and has not been serviced or slipped since arriving in Melbourne. Prior to any long voyage, a buyer should plan and budget for recommissioning work, including:
Major engine and gearbox service required
Note: Engines start and run and move in and out of gear, both reverse and forward - Boat has moved between the berth and waste pump out station
Antifoul and Propspeed required
Covers and clears likely require replacement
Duckboard / swim platform is soft and will need repair
Full detail + cut and polish recommended
Brig tender included (may require attention and servicing)
Some plumbing issues will need resolving
Ongoing basics have been maintained:
Anodes changed regularly
Hull is dived and scrubbed every few months
Value Positioning
Comparable examples of this model can sell around $500,000 depending on spec and condition. This vessel is priced to reflect the recommissioning, cosmetics, and "as is" nature of the sale, making it a strong option for a buyer who wants to add value rather than pay top dollar up front.
All offers considered.
Important Note on Equipment
Actual equipment and inclusions must be confirmed on inspection. Buyers are encouraged to make their own assessment and should factor recommissioning and servicing into their offer.
