Extensive Recent Updates
“Slipaway” has benefited from consistent upgrades over the past several years, with many of her most notable improvements completed between 2023 and 2026.
In 2026, the yacht received all-new batteries, a new VHF, a new stereo system, solid oak steps leading into the salon, new salon and galley flooring, and new carpeting throughout the staterooms. These updates complement the yacht’s already spotless interior and give the living spaces a fresh, updated feel.
Additional maintenance and improvements include fresh bottom paint and new engine exhaust risers in 2025, as well as a new bimini and enclosure for the bridge and aft deck, bridge sun shade, and salon beverage refrigerator in 2024.
Cruising & Navigation Upgrades
For navigation and electronics, “Slipaway” features a Garmin GPS, sounder and transducer, along with a Furuno radar system, both added in 2023. These upgrades provide a modern electronics package for navigating coastal waters and longer cruising adventures.
The yacht also features a custom aft-deck sofa with storage and a custom-built tool cabinet in the engine room, adding both comfort and practical storage throughout the vessel.
Comfortable Accommodations & Spacious Layout
The Carver 466’s motor yacht design provides plenty of room for entertaining, relaxing, and extended cruising. “Slipaway” offers six cabins, two heads, a 14.9-foot beam, and generous onboard capacities, including 480 gallons of fuel and 130 gallons of fresh water.
The enclosed salon and galley create comfortable indoor living spaces, while the aft deck and flybridge provide additional areas to enjoy time on the water. Recent flooring, carpeting, upholstery and enclosure updates make the yacht particularly well suited for both weekend getaways and longer cruising trips.
Twin Volvo Diesel Power
Power comes from twin Volvo TAMD75 diesel engines, producing a combined 960 horsepower. With approximately 950 total engine hours, the low-hour engines complement the yacht’s extensive list of recent maintenance and upgrades.
A davit and Walker Bay tender with a 15 HP Yamaha outboard are also included, providing convenient access to shore and additional versatility when cruising and exploring.
