From Powerboat Guide:
The Carver 455 Aft Cabin Motor Yacht (called the 456 Aft Cabin MY in 1999–2000) is a mid-tier cruising yacht whose distinctive floorplan differs from most late-model motoryacht interiors. Beginning with the original three-stateroom layout of the 455 and continuing in the two-stateroom interior of the 456, the galley is aft in the salon rather than forward as it is in most motoryacht this size. This makes galley access easy from the aft deck and bridge while
at the same time pushing the salon seating and entertaining areas forward. Also notable is the aft-facing queen bed in the master stateroom—not a bad idea if you like looking out of the transom window at night, but definitely a different layout. In the three- stateroom interior of the 455, the forward guest stateroom is very large and a folding bulkhead conceals a small guest stateroom to port with convertible bunk beds. (By leaving the bulkhead open the
space becomes part of the forward stateroom.)
Additional features of the Carver 455/456 Aft Cabin include maple wood interior trim, tub/shower in the forward head, washer/dryer cabinet, wing doors, and molded transom boarding steps. Cummins 450hp diesels cruise at 18–20 knots
The 1998 Carver 455 Aft Cabin Motor Yacht is a popular mid-tier cruiser known for its spacious, light-filled interior featuring a galley-up layout, large salon, and unique aft master stateroom with an aft-facing queen berth, offering excellent liveaboard comfort and entertaining space with maple wood finishes, twin heads, and options for three staterooms or a larger forward cabin.
Key features include solid construction, good storage, easy engine access, and suitability for extended cruising with capable performance and amenities like washer/dryer units.
Key Features & Layout

Our company was founded by Jack Hargrave in 1957 in Palm Beach, Florida. In addition to being a Hall of Fame yacht designer best known for his work with builders like Amels, Burger, and Hatteras yachts, Jack Hargrave was also a highly successful yacht broker, as was his father before him. If you are not familiar with our company, Hargrave Yachts is one of the oldest and most respected yacht brokerage firms in the State of Florida. In addition to being a full-service yacht brokerage organization we maintain an in-house service department that our customers rate as 5-Star. When most yacht manufacturers put in their own in-house design and engineering departments we made the decision to begin building yachts in the 65’-200’ size range under the Hargrave brand name in 1997. As we tell all our brokerage clients, "If we can't find the perfect boat for you we'll build it!"
