1998 Carver 445 Aft Cabin Motor Yacht for Sale – 45 ft – Onekama, MI, United States

1998 Carver 445 Aft Cabin Motor Yacht

SUMMER BREEZE

Summer is just around the corner — and Summer Breeze is exactly the kind of boat that makes you start counting the days.

This 1998 Carver 445 Aft Cabin shows exactly how buyers hope to find a boat of this caliber: clean, well-kept, and ready to enjoy the moment the weather turns. From the dock to the engine room to the living spaces, the boat reflects consistent care and thoughtful ownership.

Powered by twin Cummins 450hp diesels (2,206 & 2,211 hours), the boat delivers the dependable performance this model is known for. The Kohler 9kW generator (2,313 hours) supports comfortable time aboard whether you're tied up for the weekend or spending nights on the hook.

A Layout That Makes Summer Easy

Board from the integrated swim platform and step up to the hardtop-covered aft deck — one of the most inviting spaces on the 445. Protected by wing doors and offering excellent visibility, this area quickly becomes the evening gathering spot after a day on the water.

Wide, secure side decks lead forward with confidence, while molded steps take you up to the flybridge where the view opens up and the breeze really starts to live up to the boat’s name.

The bridge offers generous seating for family and friends and excellent sightlines from the helm, making long summer runs along the Lake Michigan shoreline something to look forward to.

Bright, Comfortable, and Exceptionally Well Kept

Inside, Summer Breeze shows the kind of care buyers immediately notice. The salon is bright and open with large windows that bring natural light across Carver’s warm cabinetry. The space feels clean, organized, and ready for the season — not tired or overdue for attention.

The galley and dinette are positioned perfectly for real cruising use, featuring:

• Three-burner stove with oven

• Full-size refrigerator and freezer

• Convection microwave

• Coffee maker

• Solid-surface counters

• Excellent storage throughout

Whether it’s a quick weekend or an extended stay aboard, the setup simply works.

Two Staterooms, Two Heads — Done Right

One of the biggest reasons the 445 stays in demand is this true two-stateroom, two-head layout, and Summer Breeze presents very well throughout.

Aft Master Stateroom

• Queen berth

• Vanity and hanging locker

• Excellent drawer storage

• Private ensuite head with stall shower

Forward Guest Stateroom

• Double berth

• Private access to guest head

• Stall shower

• Hanging locker and cabinetry

It’s a layout that gives owners and guests real privacy — ideal for cruising couples or family weekends.

Updated Electronics (2022)

A major value point on Summer Breeze is the updated navigation package:

• Raymarine Axiom touchscreen

• AIS

• Autopilot

• Radar

• Camera system

• Fusion audio at helm and salon

• VHF

This is exactly the upgrade buyers want already completed.

Comfort & Systems

• Marine air conditioning and heat

• Washer/dryer combo

• 12V / 110V electrical systems

• Hot water system

• Freshwater and waste systems

• Refreshed full bridge and aft enclosure — clear and tight

Why Summer Breeze Stands Out

Clean, Cummins-powered Carver 445s with updated electronics and this level of care don’t surface often in Northern Michigan. Summer Breeze shows like a boat that’s been properly looked after and is well positioned for her next owner to step aboard and start making the most of the season ahead.

With summer just around the corner, this is the kind of boat that turns plans into weekends on the water.
