History

In the 1980s and 1990s, Carver was the largest manufacturer of fiberglass production yachts in the world.

In 2004 Carver started the Marquis Yachts line, which began with the 59 and 65 Motor Yachts. Over 100 of the 65 Motor Yachts were built from 2005 to 2008 in Pulaski, Wisconsin.

Carver Yachts was hit hard during the great recession from 2007 to 2009 and their parent company Genmar declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2009. During this period Carver never stopped building yachts. In 2010 Carver Yachts was restructured; 150 additional employees were hired and the company was given a substantial capital infusion by the current owners.

In 2013 Carver Yachts unveiled a new line of yachts with new styling that uses bold lines and an "axe" style bow.

Carver has also invested in advanced technology such as resin infusion, one-piece reinforced structural stringer grid, and single mold interior decking.

As of 2017 Carver offers 10 models ranging in size from 34' to 72'.
