This positioning provides convenient access from the bridge and aft deck, simultaneously pushing the main salon seating and entertaining area forward. </span></p><p><br></p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent;">Master Stateroom</strong><span style="background-color: transparent;">: The master stateroom features a unique, aft-facing queen bed. This arrangement offers a different perspective, allowing occupants to look out of the transom window. The original 455 layout includes a spacious forward guest stateroom and a separate small guest stateroom to port with convertible bunk beds, concealed by a folding bulkhead. The bulkhead can be left open to integrate the smaller space into the forward stateroom. The 456 model transitioned to a two-stateroom interior.</span></p><p><br></p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent;">Additional Amenities</strong><span style="background-color: transparent;">: The yacht features maple wood interior trim and includes wing doors, molded transom boarding steps, a washer/dryer cabinet, and a tub/shower in the forward head. </span></p><p><br></p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent;">Performance</strong><span style="background-color: transparent;">: Powered by Cummins 420hp diesels, the Carver 455/456 cruises effectively at 18–20 knots.</span></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Ideal Buyer Profile</strong></p><ul><li>Great Loop aspirants</li><li>Families wanting multi-cabin comfort</li><li>Retiring couple planning extended cruising</li><li>Buyers seeking maximum value in a diesel motoryacht</li><li>Live-aboard enthusiasts</li></ul><p><br></p><p>"Knot Sure" is moored in Eden Isles, Louisiana, which is around 40 miles/50-minute drive from the New Orleans International Airport (MSY).
