A manufacturer’s view of a Carver 570 sistership..
ADVENTURE herself differs in appearance in that
she has a fully enclosed flybridge with additional
canvas for the aft deck during those cooler nights
on the water. The aft deck canvas is removed
generally during the summer months.
[Looking forward along the port side deck. Note
the sturdy side rail as well as the rail above the
windows. You will be secure as you move about
this substantial boat!
Standing on the aft deck and looking forward you
will find the steps to the flybridge and access to
the 12 foot tender. To the right of the steps is the
engine room light switch. The lazarette hatch in
the center of the aft deck leads to the engine
room.
