Broker's Remarks: This is an incredibly well-maintained, vessel that will surely impress any new owner. With exceptional performance, luxurious features, and meticulous care, this Tiara 3500 Sovran is ready for its next adventure.
Exclusions:
Owner's personal items.
The spaciousness of the 3500 Sovran is made possible by its innovative Volvo IPS powertrain technology. Like its larger counterparts, the 3900 and 4300 Sovrans, the 3500 is designed to fully leverage IPS, including the IPS joystick control, which ensures precise handling, reduced noise, no exhaust fumes, and improved fuel efficiency. The 3500 is available with either gas or diesel power options. The Volvo IPS Joystick control provides exceptional low-speed maneuverability, allowing you to easily direct the IPS propulsion units in any direction with a single movement of the joystick. This gives you full control during tight docking maneuvers, turns, reversals, or even lateral movement—without the need for bow thrusters.
Inside, Tiara’s designers have created a spacious and thoughtfully laid-out interior. The master stateroom, located forward, features a full-sized island berth, ample storage, and hanging lockers. The galley opens up to the large, flexible salon area. On the port side, there’s a wet head with a separate vanity, while the starboard side steps down to a cozy lounge area—perfect for relaxing with a movie, book, or even gaming for both kids and adults. This inviting space rivals the entertainment centers found on much larger yachts and can also convert into berths for additional guests.
