SOVEREIGN | 1966

Best for: couples and small groups who appreciate design and food, with multi-generational groups seeking a classic cruising experience a close second.

Built by Burger Yachts in 1966 and refit in 2020, SOVEREIGN is a restored classic motor yacht with an interior styled as Palm Beach chic: mid-century modern furnishings, custom cabinetry, and a fully stocked saloon bar that sets the tone from the moment you step aboard. The forward dining area seats all eight guests around a chef's table arrangement, with an open galley that turns mealtimes into a shared event rather than a background operation.

Four cabins accommodating up to eight guests means she suits couples travelling together or a small family equally well. The aft deck has built-in upholstered seating around a varnished teak table for al-fresco dinners, the boat deck offers a second outdoor lounge with or without shade, and the foredeck gives sunbathers a genuinely private spot at sea or in port. At anchor, the extended stern platform opens up swimming and watersports. Based in La Romana in the Dominican Republic, she carries a crew of three.
