1998 Carver 355 Aft Cabin 35'

Key Features & Highlights

Built on a solid-fiberglass hull with cored decks and moderate transom deadrise for stability and durability.

Thoughtful layout: a spacious salon with large windows, full galley down a few steps, and two full staterooms with two heads (master in the aft cabin) — a rare find in this size range.

Generous beam creates a wide-open feel below decks and easy side-walks around the deck.

Integral swim platform and molded steps from the aft deck make boarding, lounging and water access comfortable and safe.

Deck accommodations include a hard-top aft deck (with full canvas/Isinglass enclosure), side-deck wing doors, and a flybridge helm with guest seating — ideal for entertaining or family cruising.

Built for extended cruising: large fuel capacity (~318 gal), ~70 gal freshwater, and two-head arrangement provide flexibility for longer stays aboard.

Why This Boat Works for You

Whether you’re looking for weekend getaways, cruising with family, or even a live-aboard option, this boat hits many marks:

The aft-cabin master provides real privacy and comfort, separate from guest quarters.

The open interior (salon + galley + dinette) feels far larger than many boats in its size class.

Outdoor living is well integrated: aft deck, swim platform and flybridge all contribute to a versatile lifestyle on the water.

The solid build and smart layout make it a practical choice for both seasoned boaters and those stepping up to an aft-cabin cruiser for the first time.
