SOVEREIGN Yacht Charter

SOVEREIGN is what happens when a classic Burger hull meets a Palm Beach design binge and a modern refit budget. You get a 1966 Jack Hargrave–designed 100-footer that feels like a much larger yacht, with wide side decks, a proud bow and an aft deck big enough to actually live on, not tiptoe through.

The real play here is space and layout. Four ensuite cabins sleep 7–8 guests in practice: a full-beam king master plus a rare single cabin that’s perfect for a nanny, solo adult, or two kids who like each other, and two twin cabins for everyone else. It’s an old-school, owner-yacht layout optimized for real use, not just brochure photography.

Inside, it’s “Palm Beach chic” done by people who actually know what that means. Mid-century modern pieces, custom cabinetry, proper bar in the main salon, and a saloon that functions as an actual social hub: big lounge seating, large TV, and a formal dining area for 8 when you want to pretend emails don’t exist (while the Wi‑Fi quietly says otherwise).

Outside is where SOVEREIGN cheats the size class. The aft deck is essentially your outdoor living room, with built-in seating and a serious teak dining table. Up top, the bridge deck gives you another shaded or sunlit lounge zone, and the foredeck is a private sunpad bunker when you don’t feel like being “part of the group.” The extended stern works as a practical swim and boarding platform rather than a decorative overhang.

Low draft is the hidden feature. At around 1.68 m / 5'6", SOVEREIGN gets into shallow bays and coves that knock deeper yachts out of contention. Backing that up: a 17' Boston Whaler tender plus a compact but well-chosen toy set — Seabob, paddleboards, surf boards, and snorkel gear — so the water time doesn’t devolve into everyone fighting over one inflatable donut.

Under the skin, the yacht is not a museum piece. Repowered with twin Cummins QSM11s, refit most recently in 2020, with stabilizers, full air conditioning and proper systems. Three professional crew run what is essentially a classic American yacht with modern reliability baked in.

If you want a floating nightclub with a helipad, this isn’t it. If you want a intelligently restored, low-draft, mid-century classic that behaves like a bigger yacht and quietly does the job for a small group or family, SOVEREIGN is exactly on target.
