Step aboard this timeless 1987 Carver 3807 Aft Cabin Motor Yacht and discover why this model was a runaway hit for Carver Yachts throughout the '80s and '90s. She's built for comfort and adventure, offering an incredibly spacious interior that punches way above her size. Whether you're eyeing her for weekend getaways, extended cruises on the Potomac, or even as a liveaboard retreat right in the heart of the nation's capital, this beauty delivers luxury without the frills of newer models. Unmatched Layout and Spaciousness
The Carver 3807's ingenious aft-cabin design maximizes every inch for liveaboard ease and family/group entertaining. Overall length including the swim platform (LOA) is 42 feet 6 inches (12.95 meters). The sweet spot for both living full-time and cruising the Chesapeake is 40–50 feet—she's the perfect size to explore the waterways!
Two Private Staterooms: The master aft cabin boasts a huge walk-around berth, full en-suite head with separate stall shower, and ample storage—it's like a floating hotel suite with room to stretch out. Perfect for couples. Forward, the guest V-berth stateroom offers cozy privacy and direct access to its own dedicated head, sleeping up to 8 total in comfort.
Expansive Salon and Galley: The airy salon feels massive thanks to the wide beam, a convertible dinette, and panoramic windows flooding the space with natural light. Drop down just a few steps to the U-shaped galley—it's all wrapped in warm teak paneling for that classic yacht vibe. You are free to install your own range and fridge; both have been removed.
Condition: She needs a deep cleaning and a tune-up. We are at least the 3rd owners of this boat in the marina. Unfortunately, life has gotten in the way of us living on her full-time due to other commitments. The price reflects the work/sweat equity she needs and is the lowest-priced yacht available for sale with liveaboard status at The Wharf!
Outdoor Decks: Relax on the roomy flybridge with seating for 6, helm controls, and 360° views, or lounge on the fantail aft deck—perfect for sunset cocktails. The foredeck has space for sun pads to round out the generous outdoor flow.
This isn't just a boat; it's a spacious sanctuary—an apartment alternative on the water—with interior living space that feels open and inviting, far beyond what you'd expect from a 38-footer.
Prime Berth at The Wharf Marina – DC's Waterfront Gem:
Docked in the world-class Wharf Marina along the Washington Channel, this yacht puts you at the epicenter of DC's revitalized Southwest Waterfront. As a general FYI, she is currently in a 45' slip, and the marina allows for an extra 5' of space at the end of every dock.
Dining & Nightlife: Over a mile of top-tier restaurants (from waterfront seafood at the historic Maine Avenue Fish Market to trendy spots like Del Mar), bars, and live music venues—all walkable without firing up the tender.
Amenities Galore: On-site fuel dock, pump-out at your slip, laundry, showers, secure package delivery and 24/7 security. Wonderful and hard working marina staff also make this a wonderful place to live.
DC at Your Doorstep: Stroll to the National Mall, monuments (stunning Potomac views of the Washington Monument and Jefferson Memorial), Smithsonian museums, and the International Spy Museum. Hop the free Wharf Jitney shuttle to L'Enfant Plaza Metro, or catch a water taxi to Georgetown/Alexandria. Festivals, concerts, and events happen year-round—it's urban boating at its finest, with no-wake channels for stress-free arrivals.
This is your chance to own a proven Carver classic in one of the most desirable slips on the East Coast. Priced aggressively for her condition and location—which includes the coveted year-round liveaboard status! If you want to acquire a liveaboard vessel at The Wharf, the rules are that you must buy an existing boat for sale; the marina doesn't sell them outright. If you're more interested in just the slip you can feel free to sell the boat and acquire a boat that's up to 50' in it's current slip.
