The 95-foot (28.95m) motor yacht CAROLE TOO is a high-quality build from the well-known and highly respected Christensen shipyard in the Pacific Northwest.
CAROLE TOO is one of five, 95-foot Christensens built and is the only one with a large aft deck with a staircase to the swim platform. In 2005 new Detroit Diesel series 60 main engines were installed making her extremely fuel efficient and desirable.Designed by the famous naval architect Ed Monk, this raised pilothouse yacht is well suited for long-range cruising. She was designed and constructed for economical operation in all sea conditions by an owner/operator or shorthanded crew and built with Christensen’s beautiful woodwork and craftsmanship throughout.
Family cruising is a breeze aboard CAROLE TOO thanks to her tried and true three-stateroom layout amidships and separate crew area forward with two cabins and crew lounge. Her full-beam master stateroom features a full-size king bed and rare, completely separate his-and-hers baths with full-size tub. The port guest stateroom has a queen-size bed with en-suite head and shower. The starboard guest stateroom has a queen-size berth that can be converted to two single berths and has a full en-suite head and shower.
Spacious and seagoing, her main machinery was replaced in 2005 and her low-maintenance fiberglass construction offers many years of excellent service. This classic long-range cruiser has a two-deck-plus-flybridge configuration. The flybridge has a Bimini top forward and is open-air aft, allowing guests to enjoy shade or sunshine.
Originally built as CALIOPE, most recently JOAN'S ARK, and now CAROLE TOO.
