Details
Step aboard LOVIN’ LIFE — a beautifully maintained Carver 350 Mariner that lives up to her name! Known for its massive single-level interior and party-sized flybridge, the 350 Mariner combines condo-like comfort with easy handling and sporty performance.
The current owner has recently serviced the Crusader 454 engines, detailed the hull and topsides, and added a new canvas and isinglass enclosure, making her turnkey and ready for her next adventure.
Whether you’re entertaining dockside, cruising the ICW, or anchoring out for the weekend, LOVIN’ LIFE delivers the comfort, space, and reliability that Carver owners love.
🌊 Lifestyle & Performance
Boating magazine once called the Carver 350 Mariner “a floating waterfront condo with an open floor plan that feels 10 feet longer than it is.” Her interior space rivals many 40-footers — with a wide-beam salon, full galley, generous headroom, and sleeping for six.
Topside, her easy molded steps (no ladders!) lead to a spacious flybridge with wraparound seating for a crowd. The open cockpit is perfect for lounging, docktailing, or casting a line.
Sea trial data shows smooth performance — cruising comfortably around 18 knots and topping out over 22 knots. She’s equally at home as a coastal cruiser, liveaboard, or weekend escape.
