Carver Yachts was an American motor yacht builder in Pulaski, Wisconsin, known for roomy cruising boats from 18 to 57 feet; production ended in July 2021. The brand now lives entirely on the used market, where its aft cabin and flybridge models are bought mainly for their interior space.
Sixty-seven years of American boatbuilding
Charles Carter and George Verhagen founded Carver in Milwaukee in 1954. The first boats were mahogany runabouts; fiberglass came later, and over time the range shifted to the cruising motor yachts the brand became known for. Carter and Verhagen sold the company in 1963 to Walter Markham and Glen Nordin, both formerly of Cruisers Yachts, and production settled in Pulaski, Wisconsin. In 2004 the yard launched Marquis Yachts as an upmarket line, and Carver spent its final years inside the Marquis-Larson Boat Group.
Closure in 2021 and the Pulaski plant
Marquis-Larson ended Carver production on July 30, 2021, after 67 years. KCS International, the parent company of Cruisers Yachts, later bought the 216,000 square foot Pulaski factory to expand its own capacity. No successor builds new Carvers, and the brand's former website is offline.
Carver on the used market
