1998 Carver 500

The 1998 Carver 500 “Klingon” is not just a vessel — she is a command ship built to carry family, crew, and ambition beyond the horizon. Strong, capable, and unapologetically practical, Klingon blends brute reliability with refined comfort in a way few cruisers of her class can match. Step aboard and you’re immediately greeted by her extended cockpit, a true multi-purpose operations deck. Designed for serious game fishing and entertaining, it offers exceptional lure visibility, generous working space, and the luxury of a cockpit sink and beer fridge within arm’s reach. Whether you’re tracking billfish or hosting the crew at sunset, this is a space that performs under pressure. Move up to the flybridge and take the captain’s chair. Visibility is commanding, sightlines are clear, and control is effortless — the perfect bridge for confident coastal cruising or long-range missions. From here, you’ll feel exactly why the Carver 500 has earned its reputation as a capable, reassuring platform at sea. Descend into the interior and the atmosphere shifts to pure comfort. The expansive salon offers generous volume and intelligent layout, flowing seamlessly into a full galley designed for extended stays aboard. With two staterooms and two heads, including a master suite complete with a full bathtub, Klingon is exceptionally well suited to liveaboard life or long-distance cruising — comfort without compromise.

Powering this starship is a pair of legendary Cummins 6BTA Diamond Series engines — among the most respected diesels ever fitted to production cruisers. Dependable, efficient, and easy to service worldwide, they deliver confidence on every voyage, supported by a reliable genset to keep all systems operational wherever your course may lead. Klingon’s game fishing credentials are proven. Set up to deliver results, she features a game chair, outriggers, and centre rigger, with an excellent record of fish brought aboard. The extended cockpit elevates the experience, giving anglers the comfort, visibility, and working room that makes long days on the hunt both productive and enjoyable. If you’re searching for a vessel that can satisfy the entire family, host friends in style, and still be genuinely ready for an extended run to the Three Kings, this Carver 500 stands apart. Strong. Capable. Comfortable. Klingon is ready to boldly go where others simply cruise. Viewing is highly recommended — engage now.
