 
Carver Boat Corporation had humble but ambitious beginnings. Charlie Carter and George Verhagen began building mahogany lap-strake runabouts in a Milwaukee garage in 1954. In 1956, they moved their growing business to Pulaski, Wisconsin, to take advantage of the local workforce and nearby airfield. They built mahogany boats throughout the 1960's, adding cabin cruisers to an expanding lineup. In the 1970's the switch was made to fiberglass hulls, with advances that included larger cabin design and the introduction of the popular 32 Mariner.
By the 1980's, Carver had expanded sales beyond the Great Lakes region, and truly became a player in the luxury motor yacht market. The motor yacht became Carver's niche in the early 1990's. In 1991, Carver Yachts was acquired by Genmar. The 1990's also saw the introduction of the elegant frameless window system and the development of the upscale Voyager series. by the late 1990's all Carver Yachts included no structural wood below the waterline, fiberglass stringers, and a seven-year limited warranty on the hull and deck. In 2000, the largest Carver Yacht was introduced, the 570 Voyager Pilothouse.
New for the 2003 model year are the 366 Motor Yacht and 360 Sport Sedan. Carver has acquired manufacturing facilities in Fano, Italy to build its new line of Nuvari Yachts, the first of which, the 63 Nuvari, is currently under production. The naval architecture firm, Nuvolari-Lenard, is designing and assisting in production. The future is strong for Carver Yachts and we invite You to see why Carver Yachts will let You experience luxury cruising in a way no other brand can match.
