A closer look
Aft Deck Al Fresco
The aft deck presents a captivating space for morning coffees or starlit dinners. Sheltered from the sun yet open to the sea breeze, it is an ideal setting for communal meals or quiet contemplation. The gentle hum of the ocean provides a natural soundtrack as you savour expertly prepared dishes, the Caribbean panorama unfolding before you. This area seamlessly connects to the main saloon, fostering an effortless flow between interior elegance and outdoor charm.
Sun-Drenched Foredeck
Forward, the expansive sun pads beckon. Here, under the warmth of the tropical sun, one can truly unwind. Stretch out on plush cushions, a cool drink in hand, and feel the gentle sway of the yacht. The panoramic views from this vantage point are breathtaking, offering an unobstructed vista of turquoise waters and distant emerald islands. It's a private haven for basking and soaking in the sheer beauty of your surroundings.
Elegant Saloon Sanctuary
The main saloon is a testament to refined comfort. Rich wood finishes and soft furnishings create an inviting atmosphere, perfect for relaxed evenings. A large flat-screen television provides entertainment, though the true spectacle often lies just beyond the windows. This space is designed for convivial conversation, a quiet read, or simply enjoying the cool, air-conditioned respite from the midday sun, all while maintaining a connection to the sea outside.
Invigorating Swim Platform
At the stern, the swim platform offers direct access to the refreshing Caribbean waters. Lower yourself into the ocean for a morning dip or prepare for an afternoon of aquatic adventures. The outdoor shower provides a convenient rinse after a saltwater frolic, ensuring comfort before retreating indoors. This area is the gateway to exploring the vibrant marine life below the surface or simply enjoying the invigorating embrace of the sea.
Ocean-View Cabins
Each of the four cabins is a tranquil retreat, designed for restful slumber after a day of island hopping. Thoughtfully appointed with individual televisions, these spaces offer privacy and comfort. Large portholes or windows allow natural light to filter in, providing glimpses of the ever-changing seascape. The crisp linens and understated décor ensure a serene environment, promising deep, restorative sleep to the gentle rhythm of the waves.
Accommodation
Four beautifully appointed cabins provide sanctuary for eight guests. The layout is designed for privacy and comfort, with each space benefiting from natural light and individual entertainment systems. The master suite offers a generous haven, while the additional cabins are equally inviting, ensuring every guest enjoys a peaceful retreat. Plush linens and thoughtful details create an atmosphere of understated elegance, promising restful nights under a canopy of stars as the yacht cruises the tranquil Caribbean waters.
Culinary delights are a cornerstone of the experience, with a dedicated chef crafting bespoke menus to suit every palate. Whether it's a light breakfast on the aft deck as the sun rises, a casual lunch served al fresco, or a formal dinner in the elegant saloon, each meal is a celebration. Fresh, local ingredients are transformed into exquisite dishes, complemented by a curated selection of beverages. The dining experience is entirely flexible, adapting to your preferences and the stunning backdrops of your cruising grounds.
While not boasting a dedicated spa, the yacht encourages a holistic sense of wellbeing. The expansive sun pads invite moments of quiet contemplation and sun bathing, while the invigorating outdoor shower offers a refreshing rinse after a swim. With the tranquil Caribbean as your backdrop, every day presents an opportunity for rejuvenation, whether through a morning dip from the swim platform or simply unwinding in the serene privacy of your cabin.
The ocean is your playground, with light fishing gear available for those who enjoy the thrill of the catch. The spacious swim platform provides effortless access to the water for a refreshing dip or a swim. While extensive tenders are not listed, the focus remains on simple, authentic engagement with the pristine waters of the Caribbean, encouraging direct connection to the marine environment from the comfort of your yacht.

What a yacht like SOVEREIGN costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on SOVEREIGN is a fixed, all-in number. Ownership of a 31m yacht in this class is a five-year commitment — crew payroll, insurance, class and refit reserves, berthing and depreciation. Our yacht ownership vs charter vs fractional ownership study runs the real five-year cost of a €15 million yacht against the equivalent charter spend, and the most profitable yachts for owners ranking shows how much of that stack charter revenue actually recovers.
