Description
The Carver 530 Voyager Pilothouse is a testament to comfortable and spacious cruising. It offers a blend of luxury and practicality that appeals to those seeking extended time on the water. This motor yacht delivers a "big boat” feel without the overwhelming size, making it a popular choice and an excellent value for less than $300,000.
No Surrender was kept under cover on freshwater lakes in Texas for nearly 23 years and looks fantastic for its age. The owner replaced the flybridge upholstery and updated the interior with high-quality finishes, including flooring, new carpeting in the cabins, stone counters, new appliances, and custom teak woodwork.
Stepping aboard, you're greeted by a generously sized salon, bathed in natural light thanks to large windows that provide panoramic views. The open layout seamlessly connects the salon to the galley, creating a social atmosphere perfect for entertaining. The renovated galley, with new stone countertops and appliances, allows for convenient meal preparation.
The full beam, midships master stateroom provides a luxurious retreat with ample storage, an en-suite head, and a washer and dryer. Guest staterooms are equally comfortable, offering well-appointed spaces for family or friends. Multiple heads contribute to the overall convenience of the layout.
The Carver 530's pilothouse and flybridge are key features, providing versatile spaces for navigation and relaxation. The pilothouse offers excellent visibility and a comfortable helm station, ideal for all-weather cruising. With ample seating, a table, and a wet bar, the flybridge becomes the social hub, offering stunning views and a perfect spot for enjoying sunsets.
Powered by reliable twin Cummins 450 HP diesel engines, the Carver 530 delivers a smooth and stable ride. Features like a bow thruster enhance maneuverability, making docking and close quarters handling less stressful. The hull design is engineered for comfortable cruising, minimizing roll and providing a stable platform.
Whether you envision extended cruises, weekend getaways, or simply relaxing at anchor, the Carver 530 offers a compelling combination of space, comfort, and performance.

Matt Malatich, CPYB is the Managing Broker of S&J Yachts in Charleston, S.C., where he is a standout in helping clients navigate the acquisition or disposition process of luxury cruising yachts.
Boating has always been at the forefront of Matt’s life. From growing up on boats, to pleasure cruising and racing, to watching his own kids learn the lines, Matt’s love of the sea is woven throughout the canvas of his life.
It’s no wonder that a heart for the water, a head for business and a degree from Hamilton College led Matt to launch his career in 1996 as a yacht broker with J/Port and then Crusader Yacht Sales in Annapolis, MD. In this role, he sold brokerage boats and new J/Boats, Ericsons, Pacific Seacraft, Sagas and Tiaras.
Shortly after being named Salesperson of the Year for Pacific Seacraft, Matt returned to his hometown of Princeton, N.J., in 1999 to expand his professional experience to commercial real estate. Matt served as a commercial real estate broker for CBRE and Preferred Real Estate Investments, where he focused on acquisitions of large corporate-owned properties for redevelopment as well as leasing of office properties and due diligence of large-scale dispositions.
Matt transitioned to the role of Assistant Director of Leasing for Hilton Realty, a fully integrated real estate development and management company in 2006. For nearly a decade, Matt’s primary focus was on marketing and leasing industrial, office and retail properties to large banks, law firms, technology firms, pharmaceutical companies, national retailers as well as mom and pop stores.
In 2015, Matt’s genuine affinity toward boating prompted him to make a sea change personally and professionally. Trading bricks for boats, Matt returned to the yacht brokerage business as the Managing Broker for S&J Yacht’s Charleston office.
Today, drawing from nearly 25 years of combined experience in yacht brokerage and commercial real estate, Matt has built a reputation for his proven ability to assist buyers and sellers of upscale power and cruising sailboats throughout North America and Europe.
As a seasoned broker, Matt understands that buying and selling can be both one of the most euphoric and stressful times in a boater’s journey, and views representation and guidance of his clients’ dreams as a true privilege.
Matt’s calm and easy demeanor provides clients with a steady hand at the wheel to help them obtain the best value for their dream yacht, as well as assisting sellers with a smooth sale of their vessel when the time is right. He is well positioned to be an advocate throughout the entire transaction process by prescreening boats (including obtaining their true histories), facilitating showings, navigating financing options, insurance needs, surveys and the closing process.
