78' Chris-Craft Roamer

Is it possible to cruise the Caribbean in this boat? I don't know anything about seaworthiness of these and was wondering. It seems like it should be able to cruise from island to island, but what about if you get caught in a bad storm?

That's a whole lot more stable than a 57 Carver, but not matter the size boat the ocean can always get bigger. She's no Nordhaven.

I don't have a Carver 57, I can see why you would think so but my last name is Carver and I was born in 57 thus the id. I did own a Hatteras but never a Carver.

Would you recommend the Chris Craft to cruise the islands?

That's funny . It's a gentleman's yacht. Good for live aboard and charter and should have the range you seek. I doubt you'll like it in 10' seas, but in what boat of this type would you. I'd recommend that you arrange a sea trial in the roughest conditions possible and get a feel for it like any other boat. As to survivability in a storm, that depends more on who's running it. It's not a Fedship or Nordhaven. It's also not a Carver .
